Information Security Engineer

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.

Why this role?

  • Broad hands-on cyber role across investigation, response, tooling and uplift
  • Modern SaaS / technology environment with strong internal technical teams
  • Barangaroo office location with a high-quality workplace and strong culture

What you’ll be doing

You’ll work as part of an internal security function, helping identify, investigate and respond to security events across a broad technical environment.

The role will involve reviewing security alerts, digging into logs and endpoint activity, assessing impact, escalating when needed, and working with internal technology teams to improve controls and reduce repeat issues.

You’ll also contribute to ongoing security improvement work, including better documentation, cleaner detection logic, stronger response processes and more effective use of security tools.

What we’re looking for

We’re keen to speak with candidates who have practical experience in cyber security operations, incident response or security engineering.

You’ll need to be comfortable investigating alerts and explaining your thought process clearly — what you checked, why it mattered, how you prioritised it, and when you would escalate.

Experience across some of the following will be useful:

  • SIEM tools such as Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic, QRadar or similar
  • EDR/XDR platforms such as Microsoft Defender, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne or similar
  • Security alert triage, investigation and incident response
  • Log analysis, threat hunting or detection improvement
  • Endpoint, identity, network or cloud security
  • AWS or broader cloud security exposure
  • Working with infrastructure, cloud, engineering or IT teams to resolve security issues

The person

You’ll likely be someone who is curious, calm under pressure and practical in how you investigate security issues.

You don’t need to be the finished article across every area, but you do need strong security fundamentals, good judgement and the ability to work through alerts rather than simply escalate everything.

This role could suit someone currently working as a SOC Analyst, Security Analyst, Cyber Security Engineer, Information Security Engineer, Incident Response Analyst or Security Operations Analyst who is ready for a broader internal security role.

The role is based in Barangaroo, in a high-quality office environment with a strong team culture and good development opportunities.
