Join us as our next Domain Architect – Security and amplify your impact. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity based at our Newstead Office in Brisbane.
Your opportunity:
As a Domain Architect – Security, you’re key to shaping and securing EQL’s digital landscape. Sitting within the Domain Architecture team, you define and maintain, in close collaboration with the Cyber and Information Security Group, our cyber security architecture – ensuring our systems, data, and digital assets remain protected in an increasingly complex threat environment.
Working across a dynamic ICT and OT environment, you assist the Cybersecurity function to identify and prioritise our cyber security needs and lead the development and implementation of reference architectures and patterns. You guide architectural decisions through an expert security lens, support the secure design of enterprise and solution architectures, and collaborate closely with architects, security specialists, delivery teams, and senior leaders to embed security across everything we do.
Here’s what your day-to-day looks like:
- Developing security reference architectures and patterns to guide technology adoption, solution design, and implementation.
- Participating in Cybersecurity led risk assessments and threat modelling to proactively identify and address security threats.
- Working alongside architecture, cyber security risk and operations professionals to provide expert security guidance and leadership across solution designs, ensuring architecture solutions are practical, scalable, aligned with business needs and commensurate with EQL’s cyber security risk appetite, policies, and standards.
- Driving innovation by evaluating emerging technologies and ensuring their secure adoption – particularly in areas like cloud and AI – to support EQL’s digital strategy.
This is an ideal opportunity to step into an architectural leadership role and shape how security underpins our systems, strategy, and services – both today and into the future.
Your remuneration starts from $184k per annum + 14.75% super for a 9-day fortnight, and from $208k per annum + 14.75% super for a 10-day fortnight.
