Cyber Operations is a critical and expanding element of DSD’s dual mission to provide the Australian Government with foreign intelligence and protect our networks. It is exciting and demanding work in a unique and rapidly changing environment. We need people with the passion and expertise to meet these challenges.

We’re looking to employ talented people to work in the following areas:

  • Programming in high and low level languages
  • Responding to incidents on critical networks
  • Computer forensics including disk, network and memory analysis
  • System administration to support our specialist networks
  • Penetration testing, including tool and exploit development
  • Software reverse engineering for malware analysis
  • Computer and network vulnerability analysis and discovery
  • Secure system and network architecture design and risk management

Though we value contemporary experience, you don’t need to be an expert. Your knowledge, interest and passion for technology are most important. Tertiary qualifications, ideally in software engineering, systems engineering, computer science or information technology, are also highly desirable.

Due to the classified nature of our work you will need to be an Australian citizen and have 10 years of checkable background.
