Perth, Western Australia Xero Full time

Xero is a leading cloud-based accounting platform that helps small businesses and their advisors thrive. Our purpose is to make life better for people in small business, their advisors, and communities around the world.

We are looking for a skilled Cybersecurity Specialist to join our Security Engineering team in Perth, WA. This role requires overlap with both UK and ANZ timezones as you will be part of a cross-regional team.

About the Team

The Defence pod at Xero is responsible for proactive threat defence through detection engineering. The team focuses on designing, developing, and refining detection capabilities to identify potential security threats swiftly and accurately.

Collaborating closely with incident responders, the Detection Engineering Team plays a crucial role in supporting the Response Analyst Team by ensuring that detection systems and workflows are optimized for effective threat identification and streamlined incident handling.

About the Role

A day in the life of a Cybersecurity Specialist is dynamic and mission-critical, focused on maintaining and improving the organization's ability to detect and respond to threats.

The engineering work of a Cybersecurity Specialist revolves around designing and implementing systems and solutions that empower the Security Operations Center (SOC) to identify and mitigate threats effectively.

This role requires a balance of technical expertise, curiosity, and adaptability, as Cybersecurity Specialists continuously refine capabilities to outpace adversaries and strengthen organizational defences.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Developing advanced queries, rules, and signatures for platforms like the SIEM to detect anomalous or malicious activity.
  • Data pipeline management: Ensuring log sources are ingested, normalized, and enriched for maximum visibility, maintaining the integrity and performance of data pipelines.
  • Automation and scripting: Building tools and scripts to automate repetitive tasks, create custom detection mechanisms, and integrate platforms for streamlined workflows.
  • Prototyping and innovation: Experimenting with new technologies, techniques, and machine learning models to advance detection capabilities.
  • Continuous improvement: Iteratively refining detection logic based on attack simulations and post-incident reviews to address gaps and improve resilience.
  • Threat research and intelligence: Staying updated on the latest threat actor tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and incorporating them into detection strategies.
  • Incident support: Collaborating with response teams during investigations by providing insights, creating custom queries, or adjusting detections in real time.
Requirements:
  • Relevant experience building and deploying solutions in a production environment on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
  • Experience with Python programming language.
  • Experience with SOAR tools.
  • Understanding of Security Operations Centre (SOC) principles.
Why Xero?

We offer a generous compensation package, including an estimated salary of $120,000 per year, plus benefits such as paid leave, health insurance, life insurance, and income protection. You'll also have access to wellbeing and sports programs, employee resource groups, and 26 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers. Join us and do the best work of your life at Xero.
