Senior Security Engineer

Sydney Melbourne, Australia SafetyCulture Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year
Why join us? We're a global tech company,  just not the kind you're picturing. Sure, we've got catered lunches, team events, cool merch, and yes... dogs in the office. But that's not why people join.
Our team of nearly a thousand people wakes up every day to make our product and our customers' lives better. At SafetyCulture, you'll hear "yes, let's give it a shot" more often than "that's not how we do things here."
People join because we're building tools that make work better for the 3 billion people who keep the world moving - factory floor operators, baggage handlers, truck drivers, servers, store assistants. The ones who make things happen. We've got the scale and innovation you'd expect from big tech. The difference? No endless layers of sign-off. No corporate theatre. Just smart, experienced people solving real problems fast .
The scale is big. But the ownership's personal. Every full-time team member gets equity - real skin in the game. When we grow, you do too. We're not perfect, no company is. But this next chapter of our growth is about scaling with intelligence, not just size - fueled by operational maturity, a clear vision, and a strong focus on AI. 
This is big tech impact, without the big tech ick. If that excites you more than it scares you, you'll fit right in.
About the Role
As a Senior Security Engineer, you'll shape the evolution of SafetyCulture's cloud security foundation - automating protection, detection, and response across AWS environments serving millions of users. You'll partner closely with software, platform, and data engineers to uplift our security maturity and embed secure design into every layer of our platform. You'll lead initiatives that ensure every line of code and every deployment contributes to a secure, resilient system.
About You
You're a versatile engineer whose domain is the AWS Cloud. You understand how to architect and secure AWS-based infrastructure and have strong coding experience in Golang, NodeJS, or Python. Security is foundational to how you build from vulnerability management and system hardening to security automation and architecture. You're a self-starter who can take projects from idea to completion and thrive in collaborative, fast-paced environments. You bring curiosity, pragmatism, and a drive to make security scalable through elegant automation. How you will spend your time
  • Embed cloud security into CI/CD pipelines, developer tooling, and infrastructure-as-code practices.
  • Identify and correct security misconfigurations across AWS accounts through automation and architecture improvements.
  • Lead assessments of networks, systems, and applications; turning findings into action and measurable posture uplift.
  • Build automated security controls, monitoring, and reporting systems (vulnerability management, logging, integrity, honeypots, etc.)
  • Mentor engineers and act as a trusted security partner across squads, influencing design and implementation decisions.
  • Improve observability and detection across environments, ensuring rapid response and continuous assurance.
  • Present security insights and outcomes across the engineering org and leadership teams.
Some experience that's nice to have
  • Experience working with the CrowdStrike suite of tools
  • Experience securing corporate IT systems such as Okta, GSuite, Kandji & InTune
  • Experience with configuration management tools like Terraform and Cloudformation
  • System administration and/or Network Engineering.
At SafetyCulture, we care about people and growing the team, through
  • Equity with high growth potential, and a competitive salary,
  • Flexible working arrangements, we encourage you to create the best work blend while working from your home and the local SafetyCulture office;
  • Access to professional and personal training and development opportunities; Hackathons, Workshops, Lunch & Learns;
  • We encourage involvement in the community, open source work, attending talks and events, and experimenting with new technologies.
You'll Also Receive Other Perks Such As

  • Wellbeing initiatives such as subsidised fitness programs, EAP services and generous parental leave policy
  • Quarterly celebrations and team events, including the annual Shiplt global offsite
  • Table tennis, board games, gym sessions, book club, and pet-friendly offices.
We're committed to building inclusive teams and cultivating a sense of belonging so our people can bring their whole authentic selves to work each day.
