Bring on wonderful careers.

We're on a mission to bring new and uplifting experiences to our guests, transforming flying from simply 'nice', to something wonderful.

Like any good mission, this one starts with our people.

Which is why we encourage our team to embody the fun, laid back, authentic spirit we've become famous for. Because when they're free to be themselves, they're better able to own their personal responsibilities and go the extra mile to help our guests.

Hello. We’re Virgin Australia. And we’re back (in a big way). 

We’re the airline that’s always done things a little different. Our way. The Virgin way. For us, flying is so much more than simply taking off and landing (although we understand that is quite important). It’s about going the extra mile, in the air and on the ground, to create authentic experiences that put our guests firmly at the heart of everything we do.  

Who we’re looking for:

  • Work with the business to define, develop and maintain business-aligned security roadmaps 

  • Work with other Architects, experts, and decision makers to accurately define architectural requirements. 

  • Own the relationship with business stakeholders to ensure fact-based business and information security alignment drives decision making. 

  • Coach, mentor and support the VA architecture community on information security best practice.  

You’ll be great in this role if you have: 

  • Extensive experience of information security architecture and a familiarity with other architecture domains (application, infrastructure, data etc.)  

  • Advanced understanding of solution design frameworks to ensure effective structures and patterns are being utilised to deliver the business requirements 

  • Experience of Risk Management with a focus on information security. 

  • Experience of working in and implementing security in DevSecOps environments.  

  • Strong communications and stakeholder liaison/management skills to engage various business areas in solution design processes 

  • Experience working with business stakeholders to develop functional and executable plans and roadmaps 

  • Understanding of the airline business architecture, software development frameworks eg Springboot and micro-services architecture and management frameworks (eg Istio on Kubernetes) is preferrable. 

  • Security Architect certification (e.g. SABSA or CISSP). 

  • Qualifications in cloud services (e.g. AWS Security Architect, AWS Solution Architect) (desirable).  

What you’ll get from us: 

We’re committed to looking after you, with some of the best benefits and conditions in the industry – including (but not limited to):
