Our Why

Datacom works with organisations and communities across Australia and New Zealand to make a difference in people’s lives and help them to use the power of tech to innovate and grow.

About the Role (Your Why)

As a Cybersecurity DevOps Engineer, you will play a key role in delivering Datacom's cybersecurity uplift programme by embedding security controls into our software development and infrastructure delivery platforms.

Working at the intersection of cybersecurity, software engineering and platform operations, you will design and implement secure-by-default practices across our GitHub ecosystem, CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) platforms and cloud environments.

This role is focused on automation, security engineering and continuous improvement. You will help build the security guardrails that enable development teams to deliver quickly and safely while ensuring compliance with organisational policies and security standards.

You will work closely with developers, architects, platform engineers, system administrators and security specialists to uplift our DevSecOps capabilities, automate compliance activities and improve the security posture of both cloud and on-premises environments.

Our offices are based in Brisbane. We like to bring people together in person when we can, but we are mindful of the benefits of working from home for work/life balance. We therefore leave it to you and the team you join to decide what works best.

What You'll Do

At the moment, as a Cybersecurity DevOps Engineer, you will be focused on:

• Designing, implementing and improving enterprise DevSecOps practices across development and infrastructure teams
• Building and maintaining secure CI/CD pipelines that incorporate automated security controls and quality gates

• Designing and delivering automation workflows using tools such as GitHub Actions, n8n and other orchestration platforms
• Automating security assurance activities including peer review enforcement, repository governance, branch protections and security review processes
• Supporting developers and delivery teams to adopt secure software development lifecycle (SSDLC) practices
• Working with security and governance teams to translate security requirements into automated technical controls
• Participating in architecture reviews, code reviews and solution design activities
• Supporting cybersecurity governance, risk management and continuous improvement initiatives
• Contributing to security uplift projects and operational excellence programmes across the organisation

We are an agile organisation and continuously evolve to meet customer, technology and business needs. This means the role will continue to grow alongside our platforms, services and security capabilities.
