Are you ready to tackle the toughest security challenges for a global market leader and one of Australia's few product software companies with international reach? Do you like your code to be secure, your influence valued, and your coffee strong? If so, we want to hear from you.

At PaperCut, security isn’t just an afterthought—it’s our obsession. We've been on a multi-year security uplift focus. We are also one of only two Australian software companies registered as a CNA (Certified Numbering Authority). As we see ourselves as "complete stack," this can prove hard, as we have our hands on the whole of our tech stack, and we need experts to do security across all of this.

• Tackling the big risks: Lead risk assessments and create proactive solutions to mitigate vulnerabilities, address emerging threats, and anticipate evolving attack vectors.

• Setting the standard: Design and implement security policies and standards that foster secure coding, robust testing, and early detection of vulnerabilities.

• Leading the charge on incidents: When things go sideways (rare, but it happens), you’ll help us lead the charge, from containment to root cause analysis, ensuring we come back stronger every time.

• Mentoring and inspiring: Be the security specialist, mentoring engineers and fostering a security-first culture. 

• Collaborating globally: Work with external globally recognised security researchers as part of our pen-test, bounty, research, and uplift programs. Security doesn’t stop at our walls—it’s a team sport, and you’ll be helping us connect with the industry to ensure we're a team player.
