About us

Mantel is an Australian-owned technology consulting business with capabilities across Cloud, Digital, Data, Delivery & Security. Since our inception in November 2017, we have experienced remarkable growth across Australia & New Zealand and are honoured to be recognised as a Great Place to Work for 7 years in a row

We hire smart and talented people and get out of their way. As a principle-based organisation we have a flat structure with no hierarchy. By focusing on our five principles and not getting caught up in red tape, we trust you to get the job done

Working in our growing cyber security capability allows you to work closely with clients across our teams. Our security capabilities span governance, risk and compliance, cyber engineering, and offensive security. We enable large-scale cyber security initiatives for our clients, and improve the protection of IT environments.

About the role

This position will have a wide remit, covering hands‑on engineering delivery, resident engineer and advisory work with clients and partners, stakeholder management, and pre-sales support. The role will both deliver direct consulting services to clients in the area of cloud, DevSecOps and AI security design and implementation, as well as act as a bridge between the security engineering team and broader Mantel capabilities to help ensure that the technical solutions we recommend and deliver to clients will achieve the strategic objectives intended.

You’ll bring a strong background in cloud and DevOps engineering, including cloud networking, along with experience in security architecture, solution design and a broad range of security controls and solutions. The role requires a proven ability to develop security solution designs,



as well as to integrate and configure security tools into new or existing software delivery pipelines. We value people who understand the security rationale behind a control, not just the product settings.

Whilst this role will have a focus around CNAPP platforms (Palo Alto Networks Cortex Cloud and Wiz), we are not expecting this to be the entirety of the role, with application across DevSecOps, SASE, cloud network security, AI security and general cloud security expected.

Your day-to-day

- Understanding client business requirements, current strategies, technologies, limitations and translating them into robust, justifiable security solution definitions.

- Delivering large scale cloud security projects to drive Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) outcomes for enterprise customers, in particular using CNAPP and exposure management platforms such as Palo Alto Networks Cortex Cloud and Wiz

- Designing and deploying security controls, including policy as code (e.g. OPA/Rego, Checkov), across the following use cases:

- Application security - securing developer pipelines and workflows, including SAST, SCA, secrets and IaC scanning in CI/CD, with findings routed to Jira or ServiceNow

- Cloud Platform Security - CSPM, CIEM and DSPM using platforms such as Cortex Cloud and Wiz





- Run time security - Both agent and agentless based approach deploying EDR and CWPP and providing unified SecOps outcomes for predominantly cloud native environments

- Engineering and migration work on CNAPP rollouts, including onboarding cloud accounts, code repositories and workloads, and moving clients off legacy tooling

- Integrating CNAPP platforms with each client’s wider stack, such as CrowdStrike, Qualys, ServiceNow, SIEM and CI/CD tooling, so findings reach the people who fix them

- Working as a resident engineer with clients and partners: advising on platform use, running enablement sessions and handing over to operations teams

- Developing designs encompassing security infrastructure, platforms and services. This may include network security group policies, IAM controls, data loss prevention protection policies and more.

- Reviewing, designing and implementing secure solutions across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, Google)

- Support key security partnerships with partners like Palo Alto and Wiz , keeping informed of product developments and releases and maintaining relationships with key Palo and Wiz system and product SE’s

- Supporting sales and pre-sales activities with clients, including solution design, effort estimates and SOW input

What you’ll need to be successful:

- A robust DevOps and cloud engineering foundation: building CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps), writing Terraform or other IaC, scripting in Python or Bash, and designing cloud networking in AWS and/or Azure

- Extensive knowledge and hands-on experience with CNAPP platforms (Palo Alto Networks Cortex C
