About the Team

We are seeking an Infrastructure Security Engineer to drive security engineering and operational security across both our Australian and corporate ICT environments. You will work alongside a small infrastructure team responsible for designing, hardening and operating networks accredited under the Australian Government’s Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF) and the ASD Information Security Manual (ISM), as well as supporting security tooling on the corporate network.

They are comfortable operating in environments subject to Australian Government security frameworks and can translate ISM controls and Essential Eight maturity targets into practical engineering outcomes.

Drive Essential Eight maturity uplift across Australian environments, with a focus on application control, patching, privileged access restriction, multi-factor authentication and regular backups.
Develop and maintain SIEM use cases, detection rules, correlation searches and dashboards to provide actionable visibility across the environment.
Conduct regular vulnerability assessments, analyse findings, prioritise remediation and track closure through the Plan of Action and Milestones (POAM) register.
Perform security hardening of Windows Server, Active Directory, virtualisation platforms, storage infrastructure and network devices in accordance with ASD hardening guidance and the ISM.
Contribute to security architecture assessments, threat modelling and risk assessments for new and existing systems.
Collaborate with infrastructure engineers to integrate security into system designs, change plans and standard operating procedures.
Support system accreditation activities, including preparation of security documentation (SSPs, SRMPs, IRPs, DLDs) and evidence gathering for assessments.
Brief security posture, risks and recommendations to management and government stakeholders.
Assist with security incident response, investigation and post-incident review.

Strong understanding of Active Directory, Group Policy, Windows Server hardening and Kerberos authentication.

A collaborative, low-ego approach to working in a small team where everyone shares the load.
