About the Company

Own security engineering end-to-end, from building out core security platforms to being the escalation point when things go sideways. This isn't a maintain-and-tune role; you'll be standing up new capability and owning outcomes.

  • Contribute to network security management - Cisco ISE, firewalls (Cisco/Fortinet/Palo Alto)
  • Provide security and cloud risk assessments for new solutions across AWS and Azure
  • Act as the escalation point for the security analyst team
  • Embed security into the SDLC and run application security reviews
  • Keep security practice aligned to ACSC Essential 8 and ASD ISM
  • Feed into security governance - policy, reporting, advising leadership on risk

Requirements

  • Enterprise-level vulnerability management experience, including authenticated scanning rollout
  • Endpoint protection upgrade experience (Symantec) - nice to have
