The Missing Link is a leading Australian IT and Cyber Security services provider. We’re seeking an experienced Principal Security Engineer / Cyber Security Advisor for a 12-month contract engagement in Melbourne, with potential for extension.
This is a senior, consulting-led role combining security engineering, architecture, cloud security and cyber risk advisory within a complex enterprise environment.
You’ll act as a trusted technical security advisor, working across engineering, architecture and business teams to deliver secure-by-design solutions and pragmatic, risk-based security controls.
The environment spans AWS/GCP, application security, IAM, DevSecOps, network security, threat modelling and governance, with a strong focus on Australian financial services regulation.
You’re an experienced security practitioner with broad capability across security engineering, architecture and risk, rather than a specialist in only one security technology.
CISSP, CISM, CCSP, AWS Security Specialty or Google Professional Cloud Security Engineer certifications will be highly regarded but are not mandatory.
If you’re a senior Security Engineer, Security Architect or Cyber Security Advisor looking for a long-term Melbourne contract where you can combine hands-on security expertise with strategic advisory and risk, we’d like to hear from you.
