Cloud Security Engineer
Reports to: Security Operations Lead
Team: Cyber & Technology Risk
Stakeholders: 90% Internal, 10% External
Direct Reports: None

The Opportunity:
Over 445,000 Australians use this award winning digital platform daily to help take control of their finances before payday. Under the hood is a modern, cloud-first environment where security isn’t bolted on - it’s built in from the start.

We’re looking for a Cloud Security Engineer who doesn’t just monitor dashboards but builds systems that stop incidents before they start. You'll sit at the intersection of detection engineering, automation, and secure design - protecting a national fintech product growing fast.

What You'll Be Working On:

• Design and maintain detection logic in Microsoft Sentinel to surface real threats and reduce noise
• Own and manage the entire cloud security toolchain: Sentinel, Defender XDR/EDR, CSPM, DLP, PAM, and Identity Governance
• Automate manual workflows using Power Automate, Logic Apps, and SOAR integrations
• Tune and harden SIEM/SOAR pipelines to tighten MTTR and catch advanced threats earlier
• Collaborate with the SOC, threat analysts, and dev teams on incident response and threat hunting
• Build in controls (Zero Trust, Conditional Access, Insider Risk) across Microsoft 365 and Azure
• Maintain high availability and SLA adherence across all security tools
• Get close to the infrastructure — know where the risks live, before they become incidents

The Stack:

• Microsoft Sentinel (SIEM), Defender XDR, Purview DLP, CSPM, EDR
• Azure, Microsoft 365, Oracle Cloud
• KQL/SQL, Power Automate, Logic Apps, CrowdStrike, Qualys, WAFs
• Frameworks: MITRE ATT&CK, ISO 27001, NIST, ACSC Essential Eight
• CI/CD with SAST, DAST, and secure DevOps practices

About You:

• 3+ years working in real-world security ops: responding to incidents, managing vulnerabilities, and fine-tuning the stack
• Comfortable working across multiple platforms and tooling - you’ve built and run secure cloud environments, not just followed runbooks.
• Deep knowledge of Sentinel, Defender, DLP, and policy enforcement across Microsoft 365
• Strong with KQL/SQL for threat detection and advanced log analysis
• Experience implementing security frameworks and aligning controls at scale
• Able to automate and scale response workflows without adding complexity
• Confident in communicating risk clearly and working across teams to close gaps
• Certified? Great (AZ-900, ISC2, etc. - but it’s the work that speaks loudest.

What’s On Offer:

• Base Salary: Up to $170,000
• Bonus: Discretionary
• Super: 11.5%
• Flexibility: 2–3 days onsite, rest remote
