About the Role
As Senior Security Engineer, you will own security across our cloud environments, primarily AWS. This role formalizes security into a dedicated function within the DevOps team, taking ownership of cloud posture, detection, and identity, and shaping the foundations for how it scales. You'll be working across a diverse and complex environment, processing millions of images a day for some of the world's largest insurers, governments, and construction firms, shaped by real cloud threats like credential abuse, privilege escalation, and anomalous API usage. The roadmap is signed off, so you'll spend your time building rather than pitching for budget, with real room to grow the function as it scales.
Responsibilities
- Cloud security posture across our AWS environment, including detection pipelines built around real threats like credential abuse, privilege escalation, and anomalous API usage
- IAM at scale, from workload identity to least-privilege enforcement and policy
- Infrastructure as a code, containerised workloads and CI/CD pipelines, embedding security into how we ship rather than bolting it on after
- Security education across engineering, helping teams make good calls themselves rather than routing everything through one person
Requirements
- 7+ years in security engineering, cloud security, or a platform/DevOps role with a strong security focus
- 5+ years of deep hands-on AWS experience across GuardDuty, Security Hub, Config, CloudTrail, KMS, and IAM
- Solid infrastructure as code experience and comfort scripting in Python, Go, or Bash
- Kubernetes exposure is a genuine plus
- Confidence communicating security risk clearly to both engineers and executives
- A pragmatic streak. You know the difference between what needs to be right today and what can wait, and you build security as something that enables engineering, not something that blocks it
- Australian citizens and permanent residents, or those with full working rights in Australia
