Let’s Set the Scene… Large-scale platform modernisation program for a well-established digital business. Three-year body of work replacing a legacy back-end system that's been holding the business back. The company's part of a global group collaborating on one shared platform. Australia's taking the global code base and deploying it locally in Melbourne, which means navigating complexity, managing risk, and working with engineering partners based in Europe.
What’s In It for You? - 12-month initial contract, very real scope for ongoing extensions.
- All inc. rate of up to $1200/day.
- Hybrid setup, 3-days per week required in the Melbourne CBD office (Tuesday – Thursday, WFH most Mondays and Fridays).
- Start ASAP - role's approved and ready to go.
What You'll Be Doing: This is fascinating from a security standpoint. You'll be standing up new infrastructure, building secure pipelines, assessing code for vulnerabilities, and driving a triage approach to remediation. Security expertise sits here in Melbourne, but the engineering team building the platform is offshore, so you'll inherit their work, identify what's broken or risky, and drive the influence to get it fixed.
You'll be working closely with stakeholders locally and internationally, balancing pragmatism with security rigour. The role may not stay embedded in this one program forever, and could shift to augment other work as the business needs.
What Will Land You an Interview? - Strong familiarity with NIST frameworks.
- AppSec leaning - hands-on experience with things like GitHub Advanced Security and/or Snyk.
- Infrastructure experience – AWS cloud, CI/CD deployment, DevSecOps.
- The ability and confidence to push for the right way of doing things while clearly explaining risk to stakeholders.
- SABSA, CISSP, or AWS certifications are nice-to-haves, not must-haves
