Our teams design and develop the hardware and software that connect infrastructure, accelerate computational workloads, integrate across the stack, protect data continuity, and deliver the platforms, applications, and diagnostics our customers rely on every day at enterprise scale.\nSome product builders follow the rules. Ours rewrite them.\nWithin ISG, innovation isn't just about creating new technology- it's about challenging assumptions and reimagining how work gets done. Engineers define intent, author precise specifications, and orchestrate AI agents that execute at speed and scale. AI is embedded throughout our development process, helping us move faster, learn quicker, and deliver greater impact. Yet the most important contribution remains uniquely human: deciding what to build, designing how it should work, and applying the judgment needed to earn our customers' trust. When your products power critical infrastructure around the world, that responsibility matters.\nWe move quickly toward the work that matters most. We reward experimentation, encourage bold thinking, and remove unnecessary barriers so great ideas can become reality faster. Our teams embrace a customer-first, first-to-market mindset, transforming rapid feedback into better products and better outcomes. We aren't looking for people who are content with the status quo- we look for builders who question it, improve it, and occasionally rewrite it.\nIf you're energized by solving complex systems challenges, excited to work alongside AI to amplify your impact, and motivated by the opportunity to shape what's next instead of simply maintaining what's been done before, you'll find your place here.\nJoin us and help build the future of enterprise technology.\nThe Data Protection Software Engineering team delivers next-generation cyber resiliency, data protection, and data availability solutions for enterprises operating across on-premises, hybrid cloud, and public cloud environments.\nJoin us to do the best work of your career and make a profound social impact as a Senior Software Engineer on our ISG Software Engineering team in Santa Clara, California.\nWhat you'll achieve\nAs a Senior Software Engineer, you will play a key role in designing and delivering features that powers Dell's Data Protection portfolio.
