You will:
Collaborate with stakeholders, engineering teams, and AI platform owners to understand evolving business requirement, including those driven by AI workloads, autonomous services, and non-human interactions, and translate them into documented security requirements that inform architectural artifacts, technical designs, and risk mitigation strategies.
Develop reference architectures and secure design patterns for enterprise networks, including robust segmentation strategies for AI inference environments, secure connectivity between AI models, data pipelines, and distributed compute, identity centric access controls for both human and non-human entities (e.g., service identities, bots, agents), and policy-based access and isolation of sensitive model and data assets across on premises, cloud, and engineering environments.
Establish frameworks for network detection & response (NDR) and continuous monitoring, including detection of anomalous or high velocity machine-generated traffic, behavioral analytics for AI-driven and automated systems, identification of unauthorized lateral movement involving service principals, AI agents, or automated processes, safeguards to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal AI security standards.
Create strategies and roadmaps for modern network security capabilities, covering zero trust network access (ZTNA) for both humans and nonhuman identities, secure edge and WAN modernization to support distributed AI workloads, encryption and key management practices for AI model traffic and highvolume data flows, governance of network-level access for service accounts, APIs, agents, and intelligent automation, alignment with emerging cybersecurity and AI safety standards related to secure network design.
Design and advocate for controls that protect AI ecosystems, including secure service mesh architectures, protected inter-service communication, and guardrails for safe AI connectivity across the enterprise.
Makes PCs, AI servers and data storage systems
Dell Technologies makes laptops, desktops, servers, data storage and networking equipment for businesses, governments, schools and consumers, and it builds many of the server racks inside large AI data centers. In 2016 it completed its $67 billion purchase of storage maker EMC, then the largest technology deal ever. One division sells PCs, monitors and Alienware gaming computers, while the other sells PowerEdge servers, storage arrays and networking gear to companies running their own data centers. Dell earns money from those hardware sales plus support, financing and subscription services. Michael Dell founded the company in 1984 from his University of Texas dorm room, and it is based in Round Rock, Texas.
