DroneShield (ASX:DRO) develops market-leading counter-drone solutions used by military organisations, government agencies, airports, critical infrastructure operators, and law enforcement operating in some of the most challenging and high-stakes environments in the world. Employees work at the forefront of innovation, solving complex technical problems and delivering mission-critical capabilities where performance, reliability, and speed matter. \nAs an ASX200-listed company and the world's only publicly listed pure-play counter-drone business, DroneShield is experiencing rapid growth. Revenue increased from A$57 million in 2024 to more than A$217 million in 2025, supported by record profitability, a global sales pipeline exceeding A$2.5 billion, and annual R&D investment of over A$50 million. \nSince 2017, DroneShield has grown from 11 employees to more than 550 globally, with operations across Australia, the United States, Europe, and the Middle East, supporting customers in over 70 countries. \nThe role is based at DroneShield's Sydney headquarters, which houses corporate, commercial, engineering, and operational teams supporting the company's global growth and customer base. \nAbout the role \nDroneShield is seeking an Enterprise Security Engineer to join the Enterprise Security (EntSec) team in Sydney. This is a mid-level, hands-on engineering role for someone with a few years in IT or security who is ready to take ownership of real systems and grow within the team.\nEntSec is a small team inside the wider Security function. It sits alongside Detection & Response (DnR) and Product Security, and works closely with IT. EntSec owns the security of DroneShield's corporate environment: identity, endpoints, patching and vulnerability management, remote access, and the technical controls that back our ISO 27001, Essential Eight and CMMC obligations. The team today is the Team Lead, a Junior Enterprise Security Engineer and a DISP / Physical Security Officer.\nOur adversaries are sophisticated and well resourced. To protect DroneShield we focus on the biggest risks, remove whole classes of threat where we can, automate so that a small team can cover a growing company, and continually raise the cost for the attacker.\nThe partnership model matters here. IT builds and runs the foundational platforms. EntSec deploys and enforces security controls on them and makes sure the right telemetry exists. DnR turns that telemetry into detections and response playbooks. You will be working across all three every week.\nYou will inherit real platforms on day one and be expected to run them, not just assist. In return you get a lot of scope, direct exposure to the Team Lead and CISO, and a clear path to further career development.\nStrong communication skills and being a hands-on engineer are a must.\nResponsibilities, Duties and Expectations \nOwn and improve security controls across the corporate fleet: Windows via Intune, macOS via Jamf, Linux via Landscape\nAdminister and harden identity: Entra ID, Conditional Access, privileged access, phishing-resistant MFA\nRun vulnerability management across the corporate environment: scanning, prioritisation, patch deployment and chasing remediation to closure\nKeep up to date with vulnerabilities and CVEs relevant to our stack and drive their mitigation\nOperate and tune endpoint protection (Defender for Endpoint, application control) and work with DnR on telemetry and detection coverage\nRespond to security incidents involving the corporate environment, and contribute to post-incident fixes\nBuild and maintain the technical evidence for ISO 27001, Essential Eight and CMMC controls that EntSec owns\nReview and assess new software, SaaS and third-party integrations before they are approved for use\nAutomate repeatable work with scripts and platform-native tooling, and document what you build\nCollect metrics on control coverage and posture, identify patterns and turn them into actions\nContribute to the Enterprise Security roadmap and take ownership of initiatives within it\nManage concurrent tasks and work with IT, DnR and the wider business to solve problems\nQualifications, Experience and Skills \nBachelor degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or a similar technical field, or equivalent practical experience\n3 to 5 years in hands-on IT or security engineering roles. Backgrounds that fit well include:Systems or endpoint engineer in a Microsoft 365 / Entra environment\nIT engineer or systems administrator with a security focus\nSecurity engineer supporting corporate infrastructure\n\nOn-the-tools engineering experience. This is not a governance-only role\nExcellent communication skills, able to explain technical risk to non-technical stakeholders\nStrong problem-solving and analytical skills\nEssential\nEntra ID administration, including Conditional Access and identity governance\nEndpoint management with Intune and/or Jamf, including configuration profiles, compliance and app deployment\nEndpoint hardening and attack surface reduction (CIS benchmarks, Essential Eight, application control)\nVulnerability management and patch deployment across Windows and macOS\nScripting for automation in PowerShell, Python, Go or bash\nComfortable in a mixed Windows, macOS and Linux environment\nSystems thinking: designing fixes that improve the system rather than patching the symptom\nDesirable\nMicrosoft Defender for Endpoint / XDR administration\nLinux endpoint management (Canonical Landscape) and secure remote access approaches\nExperience gathering or presenting evidence for ISO 27001, Essential Eight or CMMC\nThird-party or SaaS security assessment experience\nInfrastructure as Code and hybrid cloud environments\nExperimentation with LLM tooling to automate security operations\nAn existing AGSVA clearance or the ability to obtain one.\nGrowth Path\nThis role is designed for someone who already brings a degree of autonomy and can take real ownership of initiatives. Working directly with the Enterprise Security Team Lead, the right candidate will take on the corporate security platforms end to end, deepen their technical depth across identity and endpoint security, and broaden their strategic view across the Enterprise Security program. Progression will be recognised and rewarded as capability and contribution are demonstrated.\nNote for recruitment agencies: We do not accept unsolicited candidates from external recruiters unless specifically instructed.\nData Privacy\nDroneShield Group Pty Ltd collects and processes personal information for recruitment and hiring purposes.
