We’re MYOB, a business management platform designed to unleash the potential of businesses across Australia and New Zealand! As the #originalstartup, our roots are in finance and accounting software, but today we are so much more. We help our Aussie and Kiwi customers unleash their full potential, giving them the tools to Start, Survive and Succeed: all in the one place.

We’re always on the hunt for those who bring a different perspective, diversity of thought and the drive to make our culture even better. Take your career to a new dimension at MYOB.

Our Tech team are true heroes. They’ve taken our legacy success and transformed it into an extraordinary SaaS platform to support SME and Enterprise businesses in ways they never knew they needed. By joining the Tech team, you’ll be an integral part of building our all-in-one business management platform.

As an Associate Application Security Engineer, you will be technically responsible for securing our products, remaining hands-on by being close to the tools. In this role you will collaborate with everyone from engineers, product managers, and members of multi-functional teams to drive the implementation of innovative security in line with industry standards.

You’ll find ways of identifying and preventing security vulnerabilities, build tools, and mentor developers to help deliver products securely into the market, as well as highlight risks and defects that may cause a threat to our products overall.

Bring your passion for security concepts, software development, and automation. Iteration is fundamental, where you are adept at adapting to change and innovation quickly. You'll constantly be thinking about our customers and users, have the ability to shape and build our culture by bringing security to the forefront of our development and operational processes.

Every day is different in our AppSec team! One day you might help build and develop one of our tools or platforms, the next you might be educating our developers in secure coding practices.

There will be times when you influence a product team to change behavior. Recently we have implemented a breaking build regime with our SAST tool - this required both technical skills and softer human skills. We leaned on strong communications (both written and verbal) and had heaps of empathy with our audience. We are not a blocker security team, so we rely heavily on our ability to influence and empathise.

Other days you may complete an architecture review, you may facilitate and guide a threat model, perform a small penetration test, or provide security advice to product teams.

We work with AWS, Github and Buildkite. We always question why and are not afraid to experiment with ideas. We do build our own tooling, so the successful person will need to have experience in at least one language and known programming principles/patterns. At MYOB, we have a diverse language stack ranging from .NET to Golang.

We strive to deliver results for our key objectives in an agile way of working, and we rely on each other and collaborate every single day to get the job done. We are always learning and growing so coming in with a growth mindset will be key to being successful with us.

Base salary range - 85k - 95k

Our values have stood the test of time. If you want to work and collaborate where opinions are valued, and your ideas can make a difference, come to a place where Your Work Matters.
