We're partnering with a well-established Brisbane-based IT company that is growing its cyber security practice, and they're looking for a curious, driven Cyber Engineer to help shape what comes next.
Here's what makes this role different. Most people in cyber inherit controls that someone else configured years ago. In this role, you'll be hands‐on designing, configuring and implementing them yourself, seeing first‐hand how a security architecture comes together and how individual controls add up to real compliance and real protection. That's the kind of experience that opens doors to some of the hardest‐to‐break‐into areas of cyber, like security architecture and compliance.
You'll be mentored by a Cyber Security Manager with 20 years' experience across the industry who is genuinely invested in building careers. Most organisations make you pick a lane: technical or governance. Here, you'll be trained in both, and you'll come out a stronger, more versatile security professional for it.
About the Role
This is not a traditional SOC role spent watching alerts and applying patches. You'll work across security engineering, architecture, compliance, vulnerability management and consulting, helping the business and its clients put practical, effective security in place. As projects come in, you'll help scope the architecture and advise on the best option for each scenario, with plenty of support as you build those skills.
What You'll Be Doing
Designing, implementing and improving cyber security controls across the Microsoft stack and cloud environments




Helping scope security projects and build architecture plans that meet compliance requirements
Advising clients and internal teams on the best security option for a given scenario
Supporting vulnerability management, scanning and remediation
Digging into system configurations, asking why things are set the way they are, and fixing what isn't right
Supporting security assessments and governance initiatives against recognised frameworks
Investigating security issues and helping develop risk mitigation strategies
Working alongside technical teams to deliver secure outcomes
About You
Plenty of people put "cyber" on their resume. We're looking for someone who actually lights up when they talk about it: someone who can tell you which part of cyber interests them and why, and who cares about doing the right thing rather than the easy thing. Bring the drive and the right foundation, and the rest can be taught.
You will have
At least 3 years' experience in a senior IT (Level 3) or security engineering role
A solid understanding of security controls: why they exist, not just how to respond to them
Hands‐on experience with the Microsoft stack, including Microsoft 365 and cloud security




Familiarity with vulnerability scanning and management tools (we're tool‐agnostic)
An inquisitive mind. You ask questions, challenge assumptions and never walk past a misconfiguration
The confidence to say "I'm not sure, let me check". You know your limits and see asking as a strength
Robust communication skills and the ability to explain technical concepts to different audiences
The ability to balance security requirements with practical business outcomes
Working knowledge of cyber security frameworks such as ISO *****, NIST or the Essential Eight
Exposure to security architecture, risk management or compliance programs
Experience delivering security projects or consulting services
Certifications We Value
No degree required. Hands‐on experience, drive and industry certifications count for more here. The following would be highly regarded:
CompTIA Security+
Microsoft security certifications (e.g. Microsoft Security Operations Analyst)
Why You'll Love This Role
Build security from the ground up and see how it all fits together, experience many cyber professionals never get
Be trained across both the technical and governance sides of cyber
Learn from a Cyber Security Manager with 20 years' industry experience who is committed to growing your career
A clear pathway towards security architecture, compliance and more specialised fields
Help shape and expand a growing cyber security practice
A supportive team where questions are welcomed and continuous learning is encouraged
Hybrid working once you've completed probation
