Gateway Engineer

Role Overview

• You will sit within a high performing engineering team supporting the operation, design and evolution of gateway and network components that underpin some of Australia's most sensitive systems
• Working at SFIA Level 4, you will move between hands on operational support, design work, and incident response, partnering closely with architects, security teams and operations stakeholders
• The role requires equal parts technical depth and disciplined documentation, with the ability to identify risk early and design pragmatic countermeasures
• Maintain and support gateway and network components using agreed architectures, design standards, patterns and methodologies
• Translate logical designs into physical network designs that meet operational requirements for capacity, performance, resilience and security
• Identify and evaluate alternative design options and trade offs, producing detailed design specifications for build
• Contribute to recovery routines, contingency procedures and alternative network architectures and topologies
• Identify technical risks arising from proposed solutions and design countermeasures that manage them
• Review, verify and improve designs against functional, non functional and security requirements
• Investigate suspected attacks and support security incident management activities
• Apply and provide guidance on physical, procedural and technical security controls
• Use infrastructure management tools to monitor load, performance and operational health
• Undertake and supervise complex installations and removal of systems and components, including client handover
• Configure tools and write scripts to automate the provisioning, testing and deployment of new and changed infrastructure
• Investigate and resolve operational issues, providing reports and improvement recommendations to specialists, users and managers

Requirements

• You must hold a current PV security clearance and be an Australian citizen to be considered for this role
• Demonstrated experience maintaining and supporting gateway and network infrastructure in complex enterprise or government environments, equivalent to SFIA Level 4 IT Infrastructure
• Strong systems design capability, including translating logical designs into physical builds, evaluating trade offs, and producing detailed design specifications (SFIA Level 4 Systems Design)
• Practical experience investigating suspected attacks and supporting security incident management, with working knowledge of physical, procedural and technical security controls
• Hands on experience with installation, configuration, automation and handover of complex network systems, including scripting or tooling for provisioning and deployment
