In an ever-changing environment, Lendi Group is leading the charge in developing industry-first technology designed to offer Australian homeowners transparency, simplicity, and convenience in their home loan experience.

The Security Engineer partners with engineering teams to evaluate planned changes, minimise security risk, and continuously improve our security posture.

Job Description

• Working closely with the Cyber Security team to ensure security principles are consistently applied across the engineering environment.
• Collaborating and coding with engineering teams to uplift secure development practices and reduce recurring security findings.
• Designing, building, and maintaining secure cloud and microservice solutions.
• Improving security posture through effective use of COTS products, platform controls, and network infrastructure.
• Vulnerability and Threat Management — monitoring and assessing assets including cloud infrastructure, containers, packages, APIs, and requests, with a focus on remediation and measurable risk reduction.
• Supporting the secure design and operation of AI-enabled systems, including LLM integrations, automation agents, and MCP-based architectures.

Strong communication skills are essential. We value engineers who can clearly communicate risk, trade-offs, and remediation paths, and who approach collaboration with empathy for engineering challenges.

Key Skills

• Strong understanding of networking, infrastructure, and applications from a DevOps perspective with a security focus.
• Hands-on experience implementing and maintaining security controls across cloud environments (particularly AWS) and access management solutions (e.g. Auth0).
• Experience with security logging, monitoring, and vulnerability assessment, with a demonstrated ability to drive findings down and improve baseline security standards.
• Passion for secure coding practices and identifying common implementation and operational security risks.

Desirable Experience

• AWS technologies such as CloudFormation, Terraform, IAM, WAF, Node.js and/or TypeScript.
• Docker, containerised environments, serverless architectures, and Kubernetes.
• Event-driven systems.
• Securing AI platforms, including LLM integrations, MCP implementations, AI guardrails, and automation/build agents.
