This is a hands-on cyber security role with a growing Australian technology business operating in a modern SaaS environment.
The role would suit someone who enjoys the investigative side of security working through alerts, understanding what has happened, assessing risk, deciding what needs to be escalated, and helping improve detection and response processes over time.
This is not a pure “watch the dashboard” SOC role. You’ll be close to the action across security operations, incident response, cloud security, tooling improvement and broader security uplift.
You’ll be part of a small internal security team, reviewing security triggers and alerts across a broad technology environment and working out what needs action.
This is a hands-on role where you’ll assess whether activity is expected, suspicious, exposed or potentially compromised, then work with internal IT, DevOps, cloud, network and engineering teams to resolve the issue.
You’ll be involved in practical blue-team activity including alert triage, incident investigation, vulnerability/exposure assessment, detection improvement, security tooling, compensating controls and validation of fixes.
This is not a narrow “monitor and escalate” role — you’ll need to investigate, communicate, coordinate and follow issues through.
We’re looking for someone with genuine hands-on security operations or security engineering experience, ideally around 5–6 years, with at least L2 SOC / blue-team capability.
You’ll need to be able to talk through real examples of alerts or security triggers you have investigated, including how you assessed severity, what evidence you checked, who you worked with, what action was taken and how the issue was validated afterwards.
Experience across some of the following will be useful:
You’ll be curious, practical and calm under pressure. You’ll enjoy working through messy security triggers, asking the right questions, speaking with technical teams and helping drive issues through to resolution.
You don’t need to be an expert in every area, but you do need strong security fundamentals, good judgement and the willingness to work broadly across blue-team security operations, tooling, vulnerability, cloud/network and security uplift.
