We are recruiting for a Senior IT Systems and Cyber Security Engineer in a permanent, ongoing role. Noting, we can only accept applications from Australia Citizens, due to the nature of the work.
Reporting to the IT Director and acting as their 2IC, this newly created role will see you work closely with the current IT team, to drive the uplift and modernisation of ICT and Cyber Security across the business.
This role will see you use both your hands on technical skills (across their multi-platform environment - Windows, Linux, macOS) as well as your strategic knowledge and foresight – this is NOT just a simple BAU IT support role.
Indeed, this will be a varied role, which will challenge and excite in equal measure!
Responsibilities will include:
IT Support
- Share ticket triage and resolution with the Service Desk Specialist across endpoint, identity and access requests
- Execute onboarding and offboarding, including access deprovisioning
- Maintain an accurate asset and application inventory
- Deploy and maintain mobile device management (MDM) across the corporate device fleet
- Configure and tune endpoint controls (application control, web control, phishing simulation) to close Essential Eight gaps in tooling already owned
- Manage Okta identity lifecycle and extend SSO coverage to applications currently outside it
- Support ISO 27001 ISMS operation, including evidence collection and control owner support ahead of surveillance audits
- Maintain the AI Tool Registry (REG-001) and support vendor security assessments
- Track and report on Essential Eight maturity progress
Skills and Experience required
- 5+ years of experience in an IT Infrastructure, IT systems, and/or Cyber Security role.
- Endpoint hardening and MDM administration ( Intune, or similar)
- Identity and access management fundamentals ( Okta)
- Comfortable working autonomously in a small team, carrying broad scope(i.e. no two days will be the same!)
- Balances BAU support load with project-based uplift work
- Skilled in scripting / automation ( PowerShell, Python) to help simplify configuration, reducing repetitive tasks.
- Experience with regulated frameworks (ISO 27001, Essential Eight, or DISP) as well as vendor risk and emerging AI governance.
- SIEM/log management fundamentals; vendor risk assessment experience
- Australian citizenship is required and any prior active clearances is a bonus (not essential), as is working in the Defence sector.
