We are seeking a Technical Business Analyst with deep DevSecOps experience for an initial 6-month contract in Sydney to bridge the gap between application security, software engineering squads, and enterprise governance.

In this high-visibility delivery role, you will work embedded within engineering and security teams to translate enterprise security requirements into clear, actionable technical specifications. You will play a key role in integrating security controls, code scanning standards, and automated compliance directly into modern CI/CD software delivery pipelines.

Key Responsibilities

DevSecOps Process Mapping: Analyze current software development workflows to identify security bottlenecks, gaps, and opportunities to "shift left" security controls into the SDLC.

Requirements & User Stories: Translate complex application security policies, vulnerability management SLAs, and compliance standards into technical user stories, engineering epics, and acceptance criteria.

Security Tooling Integration: Partner with DevSecOps Engineers to scope and support the implementation of automated code scanning (SAST, SCA, DAST) and pipeline security gatekeepers.

Governance & Runbooks: Document DevSecOps frameworks, technical runbooks, operational support models, and developer guidance materials to ensure seamless platform adoption.

Stakeholder Alignment: Facilitate workshops between Security Architects, DevOps leads, Product Owners, and engineering squads to align delivery roadmaps with security posture goals.

Technical BA Background: Proven track record as a Business Analyst working within complex software engineering, cloud, or cybersecurity environments.

DevSecOps Knowledge: Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and software security concepts.

AppSec Exposure: Practical familiarity with application security standards (e.g., OWASP Top 10) and code security scanning tools (SAST, SCA, DAST).

Agile Delivery: Experience writing technical user stories, managing backlogs, and working inside cross-functional Agile/Scrum delivery squads.

Communication & Collaboration: Outstanding stakeholder management skills with the ability to articulate technical security risks to non-technical business partners.
