Gateway Engineer

Orro Group

Not all gateway engineering roles are created equal. This one places you inside one of Australia's most sensitive national security environments, supporting the gateway and network components that protect highly classified systems. Working with the Australian Signals Directorate, you will translate logical designs into resilient physical builds, contribute to incident response and recovery, and apply layered security controls across complex infrastructure.

If you bring sharp design instincts, deep network engineering experience and thrive in mission critical environments, this role is built for you.
