Cyber Security Lead (Product & Corporate)

Type: Full time (part time considered)

About Allume

We're empowering millions of people to access clean, affordable energy.

We're a Melbourne-based technology company, and our world-first technology, SolShare, unlocks rooftop solar for apartment residents. This smart hardware connects a single rooftop solar system to multiple units and common areas, fairly distributing solar energy so everyone gets their fair share. SolShare helps reduce both energy bills and carbon emissions.

SolShare removes the technical and ownership barriers that have long prevented apartment households from accessing rooftop solar. We built it here in Melbourne, and it's now connected over 13,000 apartments across Australia, the UK and the US. We're doubling our installation base each year, and we're aiming to connect over 100,000 apartments by 2029. SolShare now also brings shared battery optimisation to apartment buildings.

We're growing quickly, and our technology is becoming more capable as we scale. That means we need great people to help us build what comes next.

If you need any adjustments or flexibility to take part fully in our recruitment process, tell us when you apply and we’ll support you.

What we offer

Hybrid work: You’ll be based in our Melbourne office, with the flexibility to work from home. We get a lot out of face-to-face time, so we look forward to seeing you in the office regularly.

Flexibility: We’d prefer this role to be full time, but if you’re returning to work or want more time for life outside it, we’d still love you to apply. Part-time looks different for everyone, and we’re happy to talk about what would suit you.

Leave and Half-Day Fridays: 25 days (5 weeks) of annual leave, plus a ‘Half-Day Friday’ every fortnight when the whole team logs off at lunch.

Progressive parental leave: 15 weeks paid leave for primary carers and 5 weeks for secondary carers, with no minimum tenure.

Wellbeing: Free, confidential counselling and support through our Employee Assistance Program.

Options: Share options through our Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP).

About the role

You'll own security across Allume – our corporate systems, our SolShare technology and the AWS cloud platform behind it.



SolShare is smart hardware that routes solar energy between apartments while streaming data to the cloud, so keeping it secure means keeping a physical energy system safe and trusted.

Most of your focus will be product security: evolving SolShare to meet requirements such as ETSI EN 303 645 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act, while maintaining our existing market obligations. You'll also lead the business to ISO/IEC 27001 certification, starting from a roadmap set by an independent risk assessment, and owning our security governance.

Our security needs are evolving as we scale and enter new markets. Reporting to our Head of Systems and Integration, you'll set the direction and make risk-based calls, working with them, our Head of Operations, our Head of Embedded Software and our cloud team, who'll build and run the defined controls.

What you’ll do

Product security

Own our product security roadmap, including ETSI EN 303 645 and the EU Cyber Resilience Act as its harmonised standards are finalised.

Keep us compliant with the applicable market regulations, including the UK Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) Act and Australia’s Cyber Security Act 2024.

Turn standards into explicit, testable requirements for our hardware, firmware and cloud developers, then review designs and evidence against them.

Lead threat modelling for SolShare, from secure boot and firmware updates to device identity and the commands that control energy routing.
