We are looking for an experienced Cybersecurity Systems Engineer to help maintain the reliability, security, and performance of internal IT systems. This role suits someone who is equally comfortable managing enterprise infrastructure, strengthening cyber defences, and mentoring junior staff.

About the Role

As part of a high-performing technology team, you'll take ownership of enterprise systems and security operations. You'll act as a senior escalation point, lead improvement initiatives, and play a key role in delivering secure, resilient, and user-friendly technology experiences.

  • Lead or support IT and security projects such as SaaS rollouts and new tooling
  • Maintain accurate documentation of processes, configurations, and incidents
  • Deliver tier-3 support and communicate effectively with stakeholders

What We're Looking For

  • 7+ years' experience in systems administration, IT operations, or cybersecurity
  • Strong knowledge of Windows/Linux servers, identity platforms, and endpoint management
  • Hands-on experience with security technologies such as EDR, MDM, and SIEM
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as ISO 27001 or Essential Eight
  • Excellent problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills

Desirable Skills

  • Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or cloud security qualifications
  • Experience with scripting and automation (PowerShell, Python, etc.)
  • Knowledge of zero trust and modern security architectures
  • Experience working in regulated or compliance-heavy environments

Why Join Us?

  • Flexible work arrangements with genuine support for work-life balance
  • A collaborative team environment with opportunities to mentor and learn
  • Exposure to diverse systems, security, and project-based work
  • Ongoing opportunities to develop technical and leadership capabilities

Please Note: Due to the high volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
