Triskele Labs is one of Australia's last remaining independent cybersecurity MSSPs. We help organisations reduce the risk of cyber compromise through risk-considered controls, and we do it entirely onshore.
We're the largest CREST Registered Penetration Testing company in Melbourne and one of the only cybersecurity firms running a 24x7x365 Security Operations Team without offshoring a single analyst. We build meaningful relationships with our clients — they're not invoice numbers to us.
About the role
As a Security Engineer, you'll be an integral part of our Engineering team — deploying and maintaining security solutions for clients and supporting Triskele Labs' own internal infrastructure. You'll work hands-on with SIEM, EDR, Mail Gateway platforms, and you'll be the person who finds solutions when things get complex and non-standard.
This role reports to the Head of Engineering and works closely with our SOC, Advisory, and Offensive teams, as well as directly with clients onsite
What you'll do
- Deploy SOC services at client sites, including ad-hoc and non-standard configurations
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in SOC environments
- Conduct onsite security assessments and architecture reviews
- Create SOC architecture diagrams for implementation and documentation purposes
- Deploy, manage, and maintain cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, and Microsoft 365
- Support internal systems by providing escalation-level technical assistance
- Deploy internal tools and systems to meet evolving operational needs
- Maintain and secure Triskele Labs infrastructure and SaaS systems
- Drive knowledge sharing and technical uplift within the Engineering team

- Practical experience deploying and administering SIEM platforms (e.g. Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk)
- Hands-on EDR experience (e.g. Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Rapid7 InsightIDR)
- Email security / mail gateway experience (e.g. Mimecast, Microsoft Defender for Office 365)
- Strong cloud skills across Azure and Microsoft 365, with working knowledge of AWS
- A genuine knack for troubleshooting complex, non-standard environments end to end
- The ability to produce clear architecture diagrams and technical documentation
- Confidence working directly with clients — running onsite assessments, reviews, and deployments
Preferred certifications (not mandatory)

Why Triskele Labs
- Competitive salary: $90,000–$120,000 + superannuation, depending on experience
- Full-time, Monday–Friday based at our Collins Street Melbourne office with flexible working arrangements
- Work with genuinely interesting, complex security problems — not cookie-cutter deployments

- Leaders who lead from the front and take responsibility alongside their team
- Occasional travel and client-site work to keep things varied
