Infrastructure & Security Engineer

Infrastructure & Security Engineer Sydney CBD | Hybrid, 2 days in office | Permanent

• Strong Windows & Linux infrastructure engineering experience essential
• Work across enterprise infrastructure, cyber security platforms and automation
• Develop your cyber security career while remaining hands-on with infrastructure

About the role We're looking for an Infrastructure & Security Engineer to join a large enterprise technology environment, working across infrastructure engineering, security platforms and automation.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone with a strong background in Windows, Linux, networking and systems administration who wants to develop further into Cyber Security Engineering.

You'll take ownership of critical enterprise platforms, working across infrastructure configuration, troubleshooting, security technologies and automation.

You don't need to be an expert in every cyber security tool. What's more important is your infrastructure engineering experience, ability to solve complex technical problems and willingness to learn new technologies.

What you'll do

• Engineer, administer and troubleshoot Windows and Linux infrastructure supporting critical enterprise security platforms.
• Take technical ownership of security platforms, including configuration, maintenance, upgrades and continuous improvement.
• Develop automation and scripting to improve platform reliability, efficiency and security.
• Troubleshoot complex issues across operating systems, networking, applications and security technologies.
• Support integrations between infrastructure, cloud environments and security platforms.
• Work across technologies covering IAM, PAM, SIEM, EDR, DLP and email security.
• Work with platforms such as CyberArk, SailPoint and Mimecast.
• Investigate technical issues independently and manage vendor escalations through to resolution.
• Collaborate with Infrastructure Engineers, Security Engineers and Architects on technical improvements and projects.
• Recommend improvements to platform performance, security, reliability and automation.

What you'll bring We're particularly interested in Infrastructure Engineers who have developed an interest in cyber security and want to build their expertise in this area.

You'll ideally have:

• Strong hands-on Windows and Linux engineering experience. This is essential.
• A solid background in Infrastructure Engineering, Systems Administration or Platform Engineering.
• Strong networking fundamentals, including TCP/IP, DNS, firewalls and connectivity troubleshooting.
• Experience configuring, maintaining and troubleshooting enterprise infrastructure and applications.
• Experience with automation and scripting, ideally PowerShell, Python or similar.
• An understanding of infrastructure security, access controls, hardening and vulnerability management.
• Exposure to cloud infrastructure, ideally AWS or Azure.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to investigate unfamiliar technical problems independently.
• Experience working with vendors and supporting business-critical production environments.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.

Experience with CyberArk, SailPoint, Splunk, SentinelOne, Mimecast or Microsoft security technologies would be beneficial, but isn't essential.

We're looking for someone with strong infrastructure fundamentals first, who is motivated to develop their cyber security knowledge.

Why join? This is an opportunity to build a career in Cyber Security Engineering without moving away from hands-on infrastructure work.

You'll join an experienced team of Engineers and Architects within a large enterprise environment, with significant investment in security platforms, automation and technical improvement.

You'll have ownership of your platforms, exposure to a broad security technology stack and the opportunity to develop skills across infrastructure, automation and cyber security.

Benefits include:

• Hybrid working, with just 2 days per week
• 2 additional annual leave days.
• Approximately $1,000 towards devices
• Salary sacrifice options on eligible devices.
• Exposure to a broad range of enterprise security technologies.
• Genuine career development into Cyber Security Engineering.
