Senior Cyber Security Engineer

Eightcap is a dynamic online trading provider committed to delivering exceptional trading tools and professional insights that empower smarter trading decisions. Headquartered in Melbourne, Australia, with a global footprint across the UK, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and the Bahamas, we blend the agility of a fintech innovator with the stability of a regulated financial institution.

We are looking for a Senior Cyber Security Engineer to join our ‘engineering-only’ security team. Working as a collaborative, cross-functional team, our engineers share responsibilities across SOC, GRC, and Architecture. We prioritise reducing manual effort through automation, sophisticated tooling, and scalable engineering.

Reporting directly to the CISO, you will be central to protecting our trading platforms, client data, and global operations. This is a role for a builder, someone who wants to design and implement security controls that support innovation and growth. 

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and improve security capabilities across cloud, corporate, and identity environments.
• Deliver security tooling, automations, and engineering improvements that reduce manual effort and improve scale.
• Contribute to security operations, including incident response, investigations, detection engineering, alert tuning, and operational uplift.
• Strengthen cloud and corporate security controls across endpoints, SaaS, networks, and business systems.
• Improve identity and access controls across users, systems, and privileged access.
• Support shared security responsibilities across GRC, security operations, and general security support to the business.
• Partner with stakeholders across engineering and the wider business to deliver practical, effective security outcomes.

• Proven experience in a senior security role within a modern enterprise, with hands-on skills in building security tooling and automations.
• Comfortable in development environments using Git, CI/CD pipelines, and controlled release practices.
• Strong experience securing corporate technology environments, including endpoints, productivity platforms (particularly Google Workspace), SaaS applications, device management, corporate networks, wireless, and third party application security.
• Demonstrated experience in incident response, alert tuning, and the use of SIEM/XDR/SOAR tooling (Sentinel and Defender experience is a major plus).
• Strong judgement, autonomy, and bias for action, with the ability to work effectively in ambiguity and build trusted, collaborative relationships with stakeholders across the business.
• Ideally, you have worked within financial services, fintech, or other regulated trading environments.

At Eightcap, we’re committed to creating an inclusive workplace where people feel empowered to be themselves and supported to reach their full potential.

Working here means operating in a real-time global environment, where decisions matter and impact is visible. But it also means being part of a culture that values collaboration, growth and balance.

A rewarding career is about more than daily tasks. It’s about feeling valued, supported and challenged in the right ways.

We offer a number of benefits, including:

• Ongoing investment in your career development. 
• Wellness and lifestyle perks like monthly corporate massages.
• Parental leave. 
• Employee-purchased leave. 
• Annual flu vaccinations.
• Multicultural environment.
• A dynamic and collaborative team culture.
• Great CBD location with easy access to public transport.
• Regular social activities.
