Ko wai mātou – About us
Kia ora. We’re Foodies. You know New World, PAK’nSAVE and Four Square right? That’s us!
With 300+ stores and over 24,000 Foodies across Te Ika-a-Maui, our North Island Co-op has the privilege of helping New Zealanders get more out of life. Locally owned, we reflect the communities we serve, and we celebrate our people - our taonga, every day for being uniquely them.
Our Support Centre is 1,000+ people strong, which includes 300+ IT employees, who all play a vital role in ensuring the cogs of our Co-op stay turning and our systems stay ‘byte’-sized and ‘bug’-free.”.
Te Tūranga – About the role
As a Senior Security Engineer, you will be part of a key team within a customer focused, high performing IT Operations team. You’ll contribute to all aspects of IT security, including Foodies’ hybrid multi-cloud environment, across the breadth of our Co-op.
What You’ll Be Doing
Shape and advance our security strategy across Zero Trust, cloud security architecture, threat‑informed defence, and continuous assurance.
Drive continuous threat intelligence, vulnerability management, and attack‑surface reduction using automation and AI‑enabled tooling.
Lead and enhance security incident response while running threat‑informed exercises to strengthen organisational readiness.
Oversee vendor and SaaS security requirements, including supply‑chain controls, SBOM validation, and vendor assurance processes.
Champion DevSecOps practices across secure CI/CD, container security, IaC validation, and policy‑as‑code enforcement.
Participate in a roster to provide an on call security response as and when necessary.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role where your expertise will embed security into everything we do. If you’re passionate about cybersecurity, love solving problems, and want to be part of a team that’s serious about making a difference, this is your opportunity to lead, influence, and innovate.

He kōrero mōu - About you
You’re a detail-driven security professional with a sharp mind for risk and a passion for protecting systems. With a strong hands-on track record in enterprise security engineering, within hybrid or multi-cloud environments, you will have a sound understanding of the digital landscape, security technologies and modern policies and practices around cyber security.
What You Bring
Expertise in Zero Trust, cloud security, identity governance, API security, and modern security architectures.
Strong technical background across SIEM, SOAR, EDR, vulnerability management, container security, and automation.
Demonstrated ability to influence architecture and development teams in secure design.
Experience with IaC, CI/CD pipelines, and secure cloud deployment patterns.
Strong analytical, investigative, and forensic abilities across cloud and on‑prem environments.

You thrive in collaborative settings but are equally comfortable taking initiative and owning outcomes. Curious by nature and driven by continuous improvement, you bring energy, expertise, and a growth mindset to everything you do.
We’re interested in your diverse experiences, your strengths and how adaptable you are to learn and grow. If you don't meet every requirement, but feel this role could be for you, we’d still love to hear from you!
