Cyber Security Engineer

The Company

At EBOS Group, our portfolio of businesses is built on the trusted role our 5700+ people play in supporting the health and wellbeing of people and pets across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia and Hong Kong across 133 locations.

We are the largest and most diversified Australasian marketer, wholesaler and distributor of healthcare, medical and pharmaceutical products and a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of Animal Care brands.

From remote rural towns to global cities, in times of emergency and when experience matters, we aim to be there - keeping essential products moving and backing better outcomes for millions.

EBOS Group is publicly listed on the New Zealand and Australian stock exchanges.

Why this role

At EBOS Group, cyber security is no longer just about protecting technology — it is about enabling a complex, growing and essential business to operate safely, confidently and at scale. As we continue to strengthen our Group-wide security capability, this role will help protect the systems, data and digital foundations that keep critical healthcare, pharmaceutical, medical and animal care products moving across our network.

This is not a narrow monitoring role. As Security Engineer, you will work across cyber engineering, identity and access management, incident response and continuous improvement, combining hands-on technical investigation with the practical judgement needed to improve how security risks are identified, managed and remediated.

You will move between operational security activity, complex incident analysis, platform support, control improvement and stakeholder advice — while contributing to a more mature, intelligent and scalable cyber security model across EBOS Group.

This role will suit someone who wants to build, not just monitor. You will combine hands-on security engineering, incident response, identity operations and continuous improvement to solve practical cyber security problems and help shape a function with visible business impact.

You will work across a broad technology environment that supports an essential, highly diverse organisation, playing a visible role in protecting the systems and information that support our customers, partners and communities.

The work

This is a hands-on cyber engineering role focused on designing, implementing and continuously improving security controls across a diverse enterprise environment. As Cyber Security Engineer, you will work across identity security, email security, web application security, data protection and cloud security, partnering with technical teams to strengthen controls, reduce risk and improve security maturity across the Group.

You will:

• Lead the implementation, administration and continuous improvement of key cyber security platforms and controls across the enterprise.

• Support and enhance security technologies including email security, secure web gateways, web application firewalls (WAF), data loss prevention (DLP), identity platforms and cloud security controls.

• Design, configure and optimise security controls that protect critical business systems, users and sensitive information.

• Manage and improve cyber security platforms including Okta, Netskope, Proofpoint and Cloudflare.Work with infrastructure, applications and project teams to embed security requirements into new and existing technology solutions.

• Develop and maintain security policies, standards, technical documentation and operational processes.

• Support identity governance activities, access control improvements and authentication security initiatives.

• Analyse control effectiveness and recommend enhancements that strengthen protection, improve user experience and reduce operational risk.

• Improve automation, monitoring, reporting and operational processes to increase the efficiency and maturity of cyber security services.

• Collaborate with vendors and internal stakeholders to evaluate new capabilities, resolve technical issues and support the delivery of security initiatives.

• Contribute to security architecture discussions and provide practical security guidance that aligns with business objectives.

What you will bring

You are a security professional who thrives in the detail but is motivated by more than closing tickets. You bring the curiosity to investigate issues properly, the judgement to understand risk in context, and the confidence to work across technical and business stakeholders to improve how security work is delivered. You are comfortable with pace, ambiguity and change, and you can balance practical incident response with the opportunity to help build a more mature cyber security function.

• Strong experience in security operations, cyber engineering, IAM, incident response or a related technical security role.

• Demonstrated analytical capability, including experience investigating security events, identifying indicators of compromise and assessing incident impact.

• Exposure to enterprise security and identity platforms such as Okta, Netskope, Proofpoint and Cloudflare, or equivalent technologies.

• Confidence translating technical findings into practical recommendations for engineering, infrastructure, operations and security leadership audiences.

• A continuous improvement mindset, with the ability to shape better process, documentation, detection capability and operational security maturity by doing the work.

• Current knowledge of security threats, tooling and frameworks, supported by ongoing learning, relevant certification or equivalent practical experience.
