  • Manage and monitor cloud infrastructure, respond to incidents, and automate operational tasks to improve system reliability, performance, and efficiency
  • Conduct vulnerability assessments, security audits, and risk analysis, and lead remediation and patching programs to strengthen cloud security posture
  • Maintain compliance with Australian regulatory and security requirements, including the ASD Essential Eight and the Information Security Manual (ISM), and perform compliance reviews and security governance activities using cloud-native and third-party security tools
What you need to have to be considered
  • Extensive hands-on expertise administering AWS cloud infrastructure (or another major cloud platform such as Azure or GCP), including secure, scalable, and highly available designs
  • Strong proficiency with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform or Ansible
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or GitHub Actions
  • Demonstrated experience performing vulnerability assessments, security audits, risk analysis, and remediation, including patch management
  • Working knowledge of Australian security and regulatory frameworks, including the ASD Essential Eight and the ISM
These will help you stand out
  • Relevant certifications, such as AWS Certified DevOps Engineer
  • Familiarity with DevSecOps practices
  • Experience managing compliance reviews and security governance programs in regulated environments
  • Track record of identifying security gaps and leading proactive, continuous security improvement initiatives
  • Familiarity with cloud security best practices across multi-account or enterprise-scale AWS environments
We're excited to meet people who share our mission and can make an impact in a variety of ways. Don't hesitate to apply, even if you only meet the minimum requirements listed. Think about your transferable experiences and unique skills that make you stand out as someone who can bring new and exciting things to this role.
