Our client is a high-growth, ASX-listed wealth technology business operating in a regulated financial services environment. As the organisation continues to scale, their Group Technology function is evolving, with a stronger focus on embedding security directly into software delivery. They are seeking a talented DevSecOps Engineer to join their technology team and play a critical role in embedding security into every stage of their software delivery lifecycle. This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of development, security, and operations—automating controls, ensuring compliance, and enabling fast, secure, and reliable software delivery. In this role you'll collaborate closely with Platform, Cyber, Software, and Test teams to foster a culture of shared responsibility for security, making security an enabler rather than a blocker.

What You'll Do
  • Integrate security across the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), championing Shift-Left Security and Secure SDLC practices
  • Automate security controls within CI/CD pipelines to ensure seamless, secure deployments
  • Harden cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) and Infrastructure as Code (IaC)
  • Implement application security testing including SAST, DAST, SCA, and container security
  • Conduct threat modeling, vulnerability management, and risk mitigation
  • Ensure security compliance and governance aligned with industry standards (CIS, NIST, ISO27001, PCI-DSS)
  • Establish continuous monitoring, logging, and incident response capabilities
  • Bridge Dev, Sec, and Ops teams to build a collaborative security culture
What You'll Bring Essential Skills & Experience:
  • Proven experience automating security controls within CI/CD workflows
  • Hands-on expertise with security testing tools (SAST, DAST, SCA, container scanning)
  • Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, or similar)
  • Practical experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
  • Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting for security events
  • Demonstrated vulnerability management and remediation experience
  • Knowledge of secrets management, IAM, Zero Trust principles, and WAF
  • Strong problem-solving, risk analysis, and incident response capabilities
  • Excellent collaboration and communication skills
Your Approach:
  • Security-first mindset that sees security as an enabler
  • Proactive and anticipates risks before they materialise
  • Collaborative team player who fosters shared responsibility
  • Continuous learner who stays current with emerging threats and best practices
  • Adaptable and thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments
  • Detail-oriented with a focus on accuracy and thoroughness
  • Takes ownership and accountability for solutions and outcomes
  • Practical problem-solver focused on scalable solutions

This is an opportunity to join a business that is actively investing in security maturity You’ll work in a collaborative, low-ego technology environment with experienced engineers, genuine flexibility, and the chance to shape how security is embedded as the organisation continues to grow. If you're passionate about security automation and want to make a real impact in a collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you.
