About the role

We’re all about helping our members make the most of their money. And while they go after their goals, you can too. As the Technical Lead – Security, you will play a pivotal role in uplifting ART’s DevSecOps capability by embedding secure‑by‑design practices across engineering delivery. Working closely with Security, Threat Management, Architecture, Cloud & Infrastructure and delivery squads, you will provide hands‑on technical leadership to improve security outcomes without compromising developer experience.

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead the implementation and adoption of DevSecOps practices across CI/CD pipelines, ensuring security is built into the SDLC from design through to deployment
• Operationalise vulnerability remediation across tools such as Qualys, GitHub Advanced Security, Veracode and Sonatype, translating findings into actionable backlog items
• Embed security automation into CI/CD pipelines, including SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, dependency management and release gating
• Establish secure defaults and guardrails during GitHub Enterprise Cloud migrations, including repository policies, branch protections and secure workflows
• Drive adoption of Azure Minimum Security Baseline controls across build, release and cloud infrastructure environments
• Partner with engineering squads to coach, pair and unblock teams, improving security capability while reducing friction and toil through automation
• Champion policy‑as‑code and configuration scanning (e.g. Terraform/Bicep) to prevent misconfigurations before deployment
• Collaborate with Security and Threat Management to improve security observability, reporting, and incident readiness across build and code environments

This role is a permanent opportunity. 

📍 Location: Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.
