About the role
At Diraq, we're building scalable quantum computers using silicon quantum dot technology. Operating across Australia and the United States, our teams work at the intersection of advanced research, engineering, export-controlled technology and commercialisation. Protecting source code, research environments, technical data and intellectual property is critical to our success.
We're looking for an IT Security Analyst to help protect the systems, R&D; environments and technology that underpin our quantum computing mission.
This is not a policy-writing or governance-heavy role. It's an opportunity to work alongside engineers, researchers and technology specialists to implement, operate and improve security controls in a highly technical setting.
If you're the type of person who likes digging into logs, hardening systems, improving security controls, responding to incidents and finding practical ways to strengthen security, we'd love to hear from you.
About you
You'll likely bring:
Experience in IT security, security operations, infrastructure security, systems administration or cyber security
Hands-on experience supporting Linux and/or Windows environments
Exposure to security monitoring, SIEM, logging or alerting platforms
Knowledge of vulnerability management, patching and system hardening
Understanding of identity and access management principles
Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, cloud, networks or endpoints
The ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Bonus points if you have experience in:
Deep-tech, semiconductor, defense, aerospace, R&D; or other highly technical environments
Cloud security,



DevOps or secure engineering platforms
ISO *****, NIST, Essential Eight or similar security frameworks
Protecting sensitive intellectual property or working in regulated environments
What you'll be doing
Monitoring and responding to security events and alerts
Improving visibility through logging, monitoring and SIEM platforms
Securing Linux and Windows environments
Supporting vulnerability management, patching and remediation programs
Implementing and improving identity and access management controls
Working with network and infrastructure teams to strengthen security across the environment
Supporting incident response investigations and follow-up actions
Providing technical evidence and support for audits and assurance activities
Helping embed practical security controls into engineering and operational workflows
Why Diraq?
This is an opportunity to work with scientists, engineers and technical specialists who are developing quantum computing technology, while helping protect the systems, environments and intellectual property that support that work.
In a small team, you'll see the direct impact of your work and have the opportunity to influence how security controls are implemented across the business.
If you're looking for a hands-on security role where you'll work closely with engineers and researchers while helping protect advanced technology and critical intellectual property, we'd like to hear from you.
