IT Security Analyst

Description

At Diraq, we're building scalable quantum computers using silicon quantum dot technology. Operating across Australia and the United States, our teams work at the intersection of advanced research, engineering, export-controlled technology and commercialisation. Protecting source code, research environments, technical data and intellectual property is critical to our success. 
We're looking for an IT Security Analyst to help protect the systems, R&D environments and technology that underpin our quantum computing mission.
This is not a policy-writing or governance-heavy role. It's an opportunity to work alongside engineers, researchers and technology specialists to implement, operate and improve security controls in a highly technical environment.
If you're the type of person who likes digging into logs, hardening systems, improving security controls, responding to incidents and finding practical ways to strengthen security, we'd love to hear from you.

Requirements

You'll likely bring:

• Experience in IT security, security operations, infrastructure security, systems administration or cyber security
• Hands-on experience supporting Linux and/or Windows environments
• Exposure to security monitoring, SIEM, logging or alerting platforms
• Knowledge of vulnerability management, patching and system hardening
• Understanding of identity and access management principles
• Strong troubleshooting skills across infrastructure, cloud, networks or endpoints
• The ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Bonus points if you have experience in:

• Deep-tech, semiconductor, defence, aerospace, R&D or other highly technical environments
• Cloud security, DevOps or secure engineering platforms
• ISO 27001, NIST, Essential Eight or similar security frameworks
• Protecting sensitive intellectual property or working in regulated environments
