Stake is looking for a Security Engineer to join our team either fully remotely in Australia, or at our Bondi Junction HQ if you prefer working from an office.

We’re an Australian investment platform with a mission to provide a seamless and immersive experience that breaks barriers for ambitious investors. We serve a global customer base of 500,000+ investors, with more than A$3 billion in assets under administration.

More than a digital brokerage, Stake is a brand that stands for ambition. This is true for our customers as well as our team members. Our working environment is energetic, collaborative and supportive – everyone is encouraged to take ownership and challenged to deliver high-quality execution.

Our internal mantra is ‘never settle’ and we all share an ambition to grow this business. This is your opportunity to join a scaleup rocketing upward to become a robust financial services company.

About this role

If you have a passion for security and a drive to make a real impact, this role is for you. As a Security Engineer, you'll be a crucial part of our team, safeguarding our organisation and customers from ever-evolving threats. Leveraging your strong software engineering or DevOps background, you'll identify and mitigate security risks, design and implement robust security solutions, and work collaboratively with the engineering team to elevate our overall security posture.

On a day to day you will:

• Proactively identify and mitigate security risks to protect the organisation and its customers
• Participate in incident response during business hours
• Advise, design and implement robust security solutions, leveraging software engineering or DevOps expertise
• Collaborate with the engineering team to enhance the overall security posture of the company
• May occasionally assist with CorpSec/SecOps tasks, enhancing internal IT and governance practices

A bit about you

• You’re a security enthusiast, probably attended hacker cons, meetups or participate in online cybersecurity-related communities
• Ideally you'll have a background in software engineering
• You're diligent, a great written communicator, and are autonomous
• You've got a good eye for business risk, and you're comfortable with raising the alarm when you see something

Nice to haves, but not must-haves:

• Familiarity with threat modelling frameworks, like STRIDE
• Implemented or worked with automated tooling to catch bugs during development
• Experience securing Go or Java services and APIs

At Stake, we value hustle over honours degrees, so we’re more interested in you than your resume. If you believe this is a role you want to jump into head first and be part of our mission, please apply and let us know why in your cover letter!
