Explanation

G'day! You've found an opportunity that could define your next chapter. Applicants must be Australian citizens and hold or be eligible to obtain an Australian Government Security Clearance with the ability to successfully complete an Organisational Suitability Assessment. More information regarding security clearances can be found at in Melbourne - we offer relocation support for candidates moving other states.

The Mission

You're joining at the defining moment of one of the most significant technology programs Australia has ever undertaken. This program will build and operate the dedicated cloud giving Australia's national security community and its allies the capability to see more, share more, innovate and act faster than ever before.

Your Role

AWS Region Services delivers innovations ranging from foundational services, such as Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), to new products and features that distinguish AWS in the industry. As a member of Region Services, you will contribute to the security and operational management of AWS compute, database, storage, Internet of Things (IoT), platform and productivity application services, including supporting customers that require specialised security solutions for their cloud environments.

Key job responsibilities

• Lead security onboarding and assurance for region-specific cloud services, designing scalable mechanisms that ensure the operational readiness of regional AWS infrastructure.
• Engineer and automate security-control validation for cloud services and data-transfer pathways, including reviews of technical designs, architectures, code, configurations, documentation and structured data schemas (JSON, JSON Schema, XML, XSD, XSLT, XPath).
• Partner with service teams and customers to translate security requirements into technical baselines, control objectives, implementation patterns and measurable acceptance criteria aligned with Australian security frameworks such as the ISM, PSPF and DSPF.
• Develop reusable security tooling, automated evidence collection and reporting mechanisms that reduce manual effort and improve the consistency of service onboarding, assurance and audit engagements across AWS environments.
• Investigate security events and non-conformance, determine root causes, implement durable corrective solutions through automation, and participate in the on-call rotation to support continuous operational readiness.

About the team

Our Region Services security team is responsible for ensuring that every AWS service onboarded into Australia's dedicated sovereign cloud meets the security bar required by the national security community. We work across more than 100 AWS commercial service teams globally, giving you exposure to a breadth of cloud technologies and security challenges that few teams can match.

Requirements

• Knowledge of industry-based security vulnerabilities and remediation techniques
• Experience in scripting, programming, and security code reviewing in a common programming language (non-internship)
• Experience in troubleshooting systems issues, analyzing logs, or automating basic tasks using command line tools (non-internship experience)
• Knowledge of system security vulnerabilities and remediation techniques, including penetration testing and the development of exploits or equivalent
• 3+ years of IT Security experience

Benefits

• Competitive salary (including annual reviews)
