• Partner closely with local and global technology teams across networking, cloud infrastructure, and application development to assess vulnerabilities and implement practical remediation strategies
• Design, implement, and optimise robust security controls and architectures across multi-cloud environments (AWS, Google Cloud) and CI/CD pipelines
• Evaluate complex cyber threats and translate technical investigations into clear, balanced risk assessments for both technical leads and business stakeholders
• Conduct vulnerability assessments, support penetration testing initiatives, and ensure security compliance alignment across systems and platforms
• Balance strategic security engineering projects with dynamic, day-to-day operational troubleshooting and security advisory support

• Solid understanding of networking principles, application security, and vulnerability management practices
• Scripting proficiency (particularly in Python) for automation and operational tooling
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the demonstrated ability to articulate technical risk and business impact to stakeholders without causing unnecessary alarm

Preferred

• Tertiary qualifications in Computer Science, Information Security, or a related discipline
