This is an opportunity to join a high-performing platform and cyber security team responsible for protecting a large-scale enterprise environment supporting critical government services.

You'll work across modern endpoint security platforms, Windows infrastructure, identity services, vulnerability management, privileged access, and security uplift initiatives. This role offers a genuine mix of operational support, platform engineering, and security improvement projects.

What You'll Be Doing
This isn't a role where you'll spend your days keeping the lights on.
You'll be helping shape and secure a complex enterprise environment by:
  • Strengthening endpoint security and identity platforms
  • Leading vulnerability remediation and security improvement initiatives
  • Modernising Windows infrastructure and core services
  • Responding to emerging cyber threats and security risks
  • Working with leading technologies including Defender, Airlock, Intune and Entra ID
  • Delivering solutions that directly support critical government services
What we're looking for
You'll need to have:
  • 5+ years' experience in endpoint security, systems engineering or infrastructure security
  • Strong experience with Microsoft Defender and enterprise endpoint protection platforms
  • Deep Windows Server administration skills
  • Expertise across Active Directory, Entra ID, Intune and Microsoft System Center technologies
  • Experience responding to vulnerabilities, incidents and security findings
  • A practical, hands-on approach to solving complex technical problems
Bonus points if you have
  • Essential Eight or Australian Government cyber security experience
  • Airlock Digital experience
  • CyberArk or Privileged Access Management experience
  • Red Hat Linux and Ansible exposure
  • Azure DevOps, Infrastructure as Code or automation experience
  • Experience working in regulated or government environments
Why this role?
  • Long-term engagement (initial 6 months + extension options)
  • Hybrid working environment
  • Meaningful cyber security outcomes, not just BAU support
  • Exposure to enterprise-scale security technologies
  • Collaborative team with strong technical depth
  • Opportunity to help drive security uplift and platform modernisation initiatives
