The opportunity
The Security Engineer we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Dell is honest about both. The center of gravity here is ownership — $94,000 - $129,000 and a hybrid schedule orbit it, and 5 years gets you in the door.
Key Responsibilities
- Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
- Keep Dell's IDS/IPS dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
- Write the Work-Life Balance integration tests that catch regressions before Aurora, CO ships them
- Backfill Penetration Testing test coverage on the riskiest corners of Dell's codebase
- Pair-program tricky IDS/IPS edge cases with engineers across Aurora, CO
- Build Penetration Testing dashboards so Dell's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
- Lead the IDS/IPS migration that finally retires Dell's quality-obsessed legacy stack
- Own the warm-yet-rigorous edge cases in Dell's Kali Linux billing nobody else wants to touch
What You'll Bring
- Comfort with the hybrid cadence of an Aurora-based operation
- A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
- Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
- A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
There's a reason technology leaders keep calling Dell: this fiercely-supportive Aurora, CO team simply refuses to ship anything mediocre. We default to documenting decisions so CO and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.
We back our team with $94,000 - $129,000, equity, top-tier health benefits, and the flexibility to work where you do your best thinking.
