Our client, a major ASX-listed insurance and banking group, is hiring for a newly created, permanent Senior Network & Security Service Specialist role based in Sydney. This is a genuine mix of hands-on technical work and service ownership, not a single-lane role: roughly half hands-on network and security engineering, a quarter automation, and a quarter service delivery and vendor oversight.

What You'll Do

Network & Security

- - Administer and support firewall, routing, and switching infrastructure: Palo Alto, F5, Cisco routing/switching, Cisco ACI, and SD-WAN
- - Troubleshoot and resolve complex network and security incidents as a technical escalation point
- - Support the organisation's ongoing shift toward cloud-hosted services (AWS and/or Azure)

Automation

- - Build and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and Ansible
- - Apply Python, PowerShell, or CI/CD tooling where practical to streamline operations

Service Delivery

- - Support incident, change, and problem management processes
- - Provide input and oversight into a managed service provider's technical delivery




- - Contribute to platform architecture input and vendor governance practices

What You'll Bring

- - Hands-on production experience with Palo Alto firewalls, F5 load balancers, and Cisco routing/switching
- - Working knowledge of Cisco ACI and SD-WAN
- - Working proficiency in Terraform and/or Ansible, or a strong, demonstrated appetite to build this quickly
- - 5-10 years' experience in an enterprise technical service delivery role
- - Comfortable operating in large-scale, on-premises and multi-cloud environments

Nice to have: AWS and/or Azure exposure, Python, PowerShell, or CI/CD experience, financial services or insurance industry background, outsourcing or managed service provider (MSP) management experience.

What's on Offer

- - Up to $150k base plus super
- - Direct engagement with the hiring leader, not a black-box internal process
- - A genuine automation mandate within a large, complex environment
- - Backed by a major, well-known ASX-listed organisation with real scale and career runway
