  • Knowledge of security, privacy, accessibility, performance and resilience

  • A strong understanding of software engineering and delivery practices

  • Experience working alongside Agile product and engineering teams

You don’t need to have every answer on day one. What matters is your ability to navigate complexity, ask the right questions and bring people together around solutions that can genuinely be delivered.

About you

You’re pragmatic, curious and comfortable working beyond the diagrams.

You can move between strategic architecture conversations and detailed technical discussions without losing sight of the customer outcome. You enjoy collaborating with engineers and product teams, explain complex ideas clearly, and know when to challenge, influence or find a practical way forward.

Most importantly, you’ll be motivated by the opportunity to shape connected digital experiences within an environment where your decisions and contribution will be visible.

  • Support the development and improvement of SOAR processes and playbooks
  • Mentor analysts and promote effective knowledge sharing
  • Contribute to detection engineering and broader SOC capability uplift
  • Communicate incident impact, risk and recommended actions to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Identify opportunities to improve operational processes and response effectiveness

What you will bring

  • At least five years of dedicated Security Operations Centre experience

  • Advanced experience with SIEM platforms such as Microsoft Sentinel or Splunk
  • Strong knowledge of EDR/XDR technologies such as Microsoft Defender
  • Demonstrated ownership of complex security incident response
  • Practical threat-hunting experience
  • Strong understanding of network analysis and intrusion detection
  • Experience working with SOAR technologies and security playbooks
  • The ability to remain calm and make pragmatic decisions under pressure
  • Clear communication skills across technical and business audiences
  • A genuine interest in mentoring others and sharing knowledge

Experience improving SOC processes, detection capability, playbooks or team maturity would be particularly valuable.

What is on offer

  • Hybrid working with two days per week in the Auckland CBD office
  • No on-call requirement
  • Southern Cross UltraCare 400 health insurance
  • Life, trauma, income protection and permanent disability insurance
  • Employer KiwiSaver contribution grossed up so eligible employees receive the full 3%
  • Monthly fitness reimbursement of up to $100
  • Additional wellbeing initiatives and employee benefits
  • A supportive culture with flexible working arrangements
  • Genuine influence over SOC processes and capability development

Earlier-career SOC opportunities

We are also interested in hearing from developing SOC Analysts with approximately one to three years of relevant, hands-on Security Operations and incident-response experience. If you are earlier in your SOC career but have practical SIEM and security investigation experience, we encourage you to apply.

Apply now

If you are an experienced SOC professional who wants to remain technically hands-on while leading incidents, mentoring others and improving operational capability, we would like to hear from you.

  • Support security monitoring, dashboards, detection use cases, automation triggers and forensics-ready logging.

  • Design automation for firewall requests, policy lifecycle management and broader network security operations.

What you’ll bring

  • At least eight years’ experience in security architecture or senior network security engineering.

  • Five or more years working with enterprise network security, ZTNA, segmentation, firewalls, proxies, DNS or cloud networking.

  • Experience producing reusable architecture patterns, standards and implementation guardrails.

  • The ability to translate strategy and regulatory requirements into practical technical controls and measurable outcomes.

  • Hands-on experience with Terraform, policy as code or network security automation.

  • Strong consultation and communication skills across engineering, cyber, risk, operations and executive stakeholders.

  • A pragmatic “yes, if” mindset that enables delivery while keeping solutions within risk appetite.

  • The confidence to sign off designs, defend recommendations at architecture review and manage exceptions pragmatically.

Certifications

Relevant certifications may include:

  • CISSP, CCSP, SABSA or equivalent security architecture experience

  • AWS Advanced Networking – Specialty

  • Microsoft Azure Network Engineer Associate

  • Google Professional Cloud Network Engineer

  • Check Point CCSE

  • Cisco security or networking certifications

  • Netskope, Illumio, F5 or Akamai certifications
