Are you a Cyber Security Solution Architect who thrives on complexity, demands excellence in security, and wants to make a tangible impact on a federal government client mission?
You could be the driving force behind our client's critical Cyber Security initiatives. This isn't just a design role; it's a chance to build the resilient, scalable, and secure technology landscape that powers national innovation and research.
You'll be working across multiple high-impact projects, ensuring our technology solutions are robust, cost-effective, and perfectly aligned with enterprise standards. You'll bridge the gap between business strategy and technical reality, acting as the crucial link between stakeholders, architects, and delivery teams.
The Core of the Architecture:
- Cyber Security Focus: Design integrated, end-to-end solutions that elevate our security posture across all initiatives and infrastructure modernisation efforts.
- Design & Documentation: Produce explicit, high-quality architectural artifacts (solution overviews, interface diagrams, security analysis) that guide successful implementation.
- Project Leadership: Provide architectural oversight from inception through to delivery, collaborating closely with BAs, PMs, and technical teams to ensure designs are understood and implemented correctly.
- Trusted Advisor: Engage with business stakeholders, translating strategic goals into technical roadmaps and advising on technology direction.
- Governance Champion: Ensure all solutions meet stringent security, data, and operational standards, contributing to our overall architecture governance.
Your Mandatory Toolkit:
- Security Architecture & Frameworks: Deep expertise in Reference Architectures, control mapping, TOGAF, and NIST CSF alignment.
- Threat & Risk: Proven ability in Threat Modelling, defining trust boundaries, implementing compensating controls, and documenting residual risk.
- Compliance & Assurance: Strong knowledge of ACSC Essential Eight, Australian Government ISM, ISO 27001, and NIST 800-53/171. IRAP awareness and experience in design reviews are essential.
Bonus Points: Your Specialised Experience (One or More):
- System Security: Zero Trust, Micro-segmentation, WAF/API gateways, DoS/CDN patterns.
- Cloud Security Architecture (Azure-First): Landing zones, Defender for Cloud, Key Vault, and multi-cloud (AWS/GCP) awareness.
- Platform Security: Kubernetes/OpenShift security (RBAC, image signing, workload hardening).
- Application & DevSecOps: SAST/DAST/IAST, API Security, and IaC security in pipelines.
- Data/Identity Security: Entra ID/AAD patterns, OAuth2/OIDC, Purview classification, and secrets management (PAM, Vault).
- Detection & Response: SIEM/SOAR Engineering (Sentinel/Splunk), KQL/SPL, and containment runbooks.
You must be an Australia Citizen with an eligible NV1 federal government clearance to apply.
