Job summary

Shift is seeking a security-focused professional to grow their career in cloud infrastructure and security. You’ll learn hands-on how Shift builds and secures its applications, working alongside engineers who mentor you throughout the journey.

You’ll gain experience across automated deployment pipelines, security testing, and threat awareness while contributing to security policies and controls in a collaborative, flexible environment based in North Sydney.

• A foundational understanding of security concepts (IAM, WAF, vulnerability management).
