Senior Cybersecurity Incident Responder

Datacom

Adelaide, South Australia

Hybrid · Senior · Full-time

The Role

This senior position sits within a dedicated incident response team, leading digital forensics and incident response engagements across Australia and New Zealand. Day-to-day work spans reactive incident investigations alongside proactive advisory services such as tabletop exercises, compromise assessments, threat hunting, breach readiness assessments, and threat intelligence briefings.

Skills & Experience

Candidates require extensive hands-on experience investigating and responding to major cybersecurity incidents. Familiarity with DFIR methodologies, threat modelling, and the broader security stack — including SOC, SIEM, EDR, and XDR technologies — is expected. Strong analytical, communication, and problem-solving abilities are essential to this level.

Who It Suits

This role suits an experienced incident responder ready to take ownership of complex engagements and lead others through high-pressure situations. Someone equally comfortable in a reactive crisis and a proactive advisory setting, who thrives working across both commercial and government client environments, will find this opportunity well matched to their background.

Typical advertised salary for Incident Response roles in Australia: A$95,000–A$129,000 (median A$100,000 — from 9 recent listings analysed by Forensic Focus).
