Job description

About Us

Immutable is a global technology company, powering the leading platform for building games on Ethereum. We are on a mission to build the future of gaming by redefining how games are played and discovered. Founded in 2018, Immutable is one of the fastest Australian companies to hit unicorn status, having raised more than AUD $300M+ and a valuation of AUD $3.5 billion.

Currently, the Immutable Group consists of the Immutable Platform, the leading platform for building games on Ethereum powering successful games like RavenQuest and Immortal Rising 2, and Immutable Games, a global leader in web3 game development and publishing with leading titles Gods Unchained and Guild of Guardians.

Our ambition is to make digital worlds real; we have incredible global growth plans as the fastest growing gaming chain in 2024 with 250+ games signed, more than in all previous years combined.

About The Role

As Immutable scales rapidly, we’re investing in building out a world-class security function. We’re looking for a Senior Security Engineer to join our growing security team to lead the charge in detection engineering, response automation, and adversary simulation.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, deeply understands detection and response, and wants to shape security strategy at the core of a web3 company handling digital asset ownership at scale.

You’ll Be Empowered To

• Own and operate our Security Operations (SecOps) and SOAR platforms, building playbooks and automation to reduce response time and improve signal fidelity.
• Design and implement detection pipelines that surface high-fidelity alerts and enable effective incident triage.
• Lead initiatives to harden our endpoints, SaaS controls, and workforce identity systems.
• Deploy and manage security agents (EDR, device assurance, secrets managers) across our environment.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to integrate security deeply into our SDLC and product architecture.
• Leverage AI, scripting (Python, Golang), and automation to reduce toil and scale our small but mighty security function.
• Operate with a “crown jewels” strategy—prioritising what matters most and moving fast where it counts.

We'd Love You To Bring

• Proven experience in detection and response engineering, security automation, or security operations in a product or platform company.
• Demonstrated ability to align technical actions with strategic security outcomes.
• Experience building pipelines that ingest, enrich and route data to security platforms.
• Curiosity and passion for threat modelling, attack simulation, and adversary behaviour.
• A pragmatic mindset: no cargo culting, just what works—incremental wins over theoretical perfection.

Strong hands-on knowledge of:

• Cloud-native services (AWS/GCP)
• SOAR tools and detection platforms
• Endpoint agents like Kolide, Santa, or Crowdstrike
• Identity protocols (OIDC, SAML), RBAC/least privilege

Bonus Points For : Experience in web3, blockchain, or crypto threat environments. Why You’ll Love It Here

• Shape the future of security in a frontier industry (crypto/web3)
• Work alongside a high-performance team with agency, autonomy, and impact
• Focus on deep work, tooling, and effectiveness—not firefighting
• Partner with passionate engineers and leaders who value security
• Move fast: deliver results in days, not quarters
