About Zscaler

Zscaler accelerates digital transformation to ensure our customers can be more agile, efficient, resilient, and secure. As an AI-forward enterprise, we are constantly pushing the envelope, leveraging the world’s largest security data lake to power our cloud-native Zero Trust Exchange platform. This innovation protects our customers from cyberattacks and data loss by securely connecting users, devices, and applications in any location.

Here, impact in your role matters more than title, and trust is built on results. We say, "impact over activity." We seek innovators who actively use AI to amplify their impact and who thrive in an environment where we leverage intelligent systems to stay ahead of evolving threats. We believe in transparency and value constructive, honest debate—focusing on getting to the best ideas faster. We build high-performing teams that can make an impact quickly and with high quality, centred on:

  • Customer obsession
  • Collaboration
  • Ownership
  • Accountability

We value high-impact, high-accountability with a sense of urgency, enabling you to do your best work and embrace your potential. If you’re driven by purpose, thrive on solving complex challenges, and want to be part of the team shaping the future of cybersecurity, particularly in the AI age, we invite you to bring your talents to Zscaler.


About the Role

The AI revolution is here, and enterprises are racing to adopt GenAI—but they cannot deploy what they cannot secure. Zscaler is seeking an experienced Principal AI Security Specialist to bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI innovation and robust enterprise security.

In this highly strategic, field-facing role, you will combine the elite consultative strengths of a Solutions Engineer with deep expertise in LLMs, RAG architectures, and data protection. As our premier technical authority, you will partner with Fortune 500 executives and architects, serving as a trusted advisor to help them confidently unlock the power of AI without compromising data or infrastructure. If you are a builder, an educator, and a master storyteller who thrives in a fast-evolving market, this is your chance to lead the industry’s most critical conversation.


What You’ll Do

  • Architect the AI Technical Strategy: Partner with enterprise account teams to own and execute the technical sales strategy, driving complex, high-value AI security opportunities from discovery to close.

  • Deliver Compelling, High-Impact Demos & POVs:

    • Configure and present tailored, outcome-driven demonstrations of Zscaler’s AI security platform that resonate with both deep-tech practitioners and C-level executives.
    • Take customers through successful demos and POVs to validate Zscaler’s ability to securely enable enterprise AI.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

    • A proven track record in a customer-facing technical role (such as Sales Engineering, Solutions Architecture, or Technical Advisory) within complex, enterprise-level sales cycles.
