Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Design and implement automated patching solutions to remediate security vulnerabilities across enterprise systems and devices. Partner with Product Owners to develop remediation strategies and provide technical leadership on secure system configurations.
Requires extensive experience in systems or security engineering with a strong focus on vulnerability and patch management in complex environments. Proficiency in Windows, Linux, cloud platforms, and scripting languages like PowerShell or Python is essential.
Digital Services enables the technology that powers learning, teaching, research, and the student experience across the University. Our Cybersecurity team plays a critical role in protecting the University's digital ecosystem by delivering modern security capabilities that keep our people, data, and systems secure.
We're embarking on an exciting transformation of how Digital Services and the University approach cybersecurity.
We are on a mission to rapidly and holistically uplift how Digital Services and the University approach, process, and manage patching and vulnerability management. To make this change possible, we've created a brand-new team within our Cybersecurity function dedicated to transforming how patching is delivered across our technology ecosystem through automation and modern engineering practices.
As part of this investment, we are looking to appoint four Senior Systems Security Engineers to help drive this transformation.
These newly created roles will identify, assess, plan, implement, and manage groups of systems, servers, and devices through newly designed workflows that fully leverage automation at every stage of the patching lifecycle. Working across cloud and on-premise environments, you'll help strengthen the University's cyber resilience while improving the efficiency, consistency, and scalability of vulnerability remediation.
These opportunities are best suited to experienced engineers with broad exposure to enterprise technologies, operating systems, cloud platforms, infrastructure, applications, and endpoint management. You'll bring significant hands-on engineering experience together with the ability to solve complex technical challenges, influence stakeholders, and partner closely with Product Owners as they adopt new ways of working.
If you're passionate about automation, security engineering, and building modern solutions that have a lasting impact across a large and diverse technology environment, we'd love to hear from you.
These are full-time, 37.5-hour-per-week roles on a permanent basis. The salary range is $110,700 - $49,800 per annum, depending on experience and qualifications.
For more information, please review the Position Description.
You're an experienced systems or security engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and making enterprise environments more secure.
You thrive in large, diverse technology environments where no two days are the same, and you're comfortable working across operating systems, cloud platforms, infrastructure, enterprise applications, and endpoint technologies. You combine deep technical expertise with a collaborative approach, enabling you to influence stakeholders, mentor others, and support teams through meaningful technical change.
Most importantly, you're passionate about automation and using technology to improve security outcomes at scale. You'll enjoy working in an environment where innovation is encouraged, collaboration is valued, and your expertise will directly influence how the University manages cyber risk.
