Full Job Description
G'day! You've found an opportunity that could define your next chapter. Applicants must be Australian citizens and hold or be eligible to obtain an Australian Government Security Clearance with the ability to successfully complete an Organisational Suitability Assessment. More information regarding security clearances can be found at https://www.agsva.gov.au/. The Mission - Why This Programme, Why Now? You're joining at the defining moment of one of the most significant technology programmes Australia has ever undertaken. This programme will build and operate the dedicated cloud giving Australia's national security community and its allies the capability to see more, share more, innovate and act faster than ever before. The architectural decisions being made now - how we structure networking, implement security controls, and automate at scale - will shape how Australia's national security community operates for the next decade. You won't be inheriting someone else's design choices. You'll be making them. Your Role — The Security Engineering Lead Imagine being the person who defines how security is woven into the fabric of an entire portfolio of services — not as an afterthought, but as a foundational principle. As our Senior Security Engineer, you'll be the driving force behind a new era of distributed security ownership, building a model where security isn't siloed but embedded in the DNA of every builder team. You'll own threat modelling across critical services, lead the resolution of complex security challenges, and architect application security outcomes from secure design through code review. But this role goes beyond technical mastery — you'll be the Developer Advocate for Security, establishing and leading the Security Guardians programme that trains, mentors, and empowers security champions across systems engineering teams. This is your chance to scale your expertise across an entire organisation. Every security decision you make, every guardian you develop
