Cryptography Security Architect Consultant

The Dell Security & Resiliency organization manages the security risk across all aspects of Dell's business.

You will have an excellent opportunity to influence the security culture at Dell and further develop your career.

Join us as a Cryptography Security Architecton our Enterprise Security Architecture team in Round Rock, Texas or Hopkinton, Massachusetts to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact.

What you'll achieve

As a Cryptography Security Architect, you will be responsible for setting the architectural vision for Dell's enterprise cryptographic infrastructure.

You will work across Dell's Cybersecurity, IT and Business Units to develop buy-in and partnerships for large strategic initiatives that will drive Dell's evolution into the next generation of cryptography.

You will develop and lead methods and techniques for identifying and advocating effective security solutions and own thought leadership and coordination of reviews of available tools, technologies, and processes to secure all aspects of the enterprise.

Responsibilities

You will:


* Design, govern, and evolve the enterprise cryptographic infrastructure: including HSM platforms, certificate authorities, certificate lifecycle management systems, and enterprise key management services - across on-premises, cloud, and customer-facing environments, ensuring operational resilience through a deliberate multi-vendor strategy that balances risk mitigation, procurement agility, and technology portability.


* Serve as the enterprise lead for Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) readiness: driving cross-business-unit awareness, requirements documentation, crypto-agility planning, and global enablement by tracking emerging PQC standards, evaluating hybrid cryptographic approaches, assessing PQC-native hardware, and translating evolving mandates into actionable migration roadmaps.


* Author, maintain, and enforce enterprise cryptographic standards and governance frameworks: covering algorithms, protocols, PKI trust models, and key management practices - while translating complex regulatory and technical requirements (including FIPS, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, and NFI PKI) into clear, actionable guidance that diverse engineering teams can confidently implement.


* Lead multi-year cryptographic transformation programs: managing distributed execution across business units and technology teams, owning delivery accountability, conducting quantified cost/effort analysis for build-vs-buy and vendor consolidation decisions, managing strategic vendor relationships, and providing executive-level reporting on program progress and risk posture.


* Architect abstracted, API-first cryptographic services: designing certificate and key management capabilities that enable seamless backend technology portability without consumer disruption, leveraging protocols such as KMIP, PKCS#11, EST, and ACME to eliminate vendor lock-in and...
