**Tēnei tūranga - About the Role**:
CERT NZ is New Zealand's national Computer Emergency Response Team. We investigate cyber security incident reports, track cyber security incidents and attacks, and provide advice to all New Zealanders (businesses, organisations and individuals) on how to respond to and prevent further attacks. We work closely with our international counterparts across more than 100 other national CERTs to prevent and respond to cyber security incidents.

CERT NZ's primary goal is to improve cyber security resilience in New Zealand, which means:

- Increased comprehension of the threat landscape
- Better avoidance of incidents, and
- Reducing the impact of incidents.

CERT NZ is looking for a Team Leader, Systems & Security (Team Leader - IT Infrastructure) to join a small team of highly skilled and motivated Sys Admins / Network Engineers to lead the team that is responsible for the development, design, configuration, maintenance, and reliable operation of the specialist network supporting software and systems.

Along with the rest of the team, you'll build and maintain the systems used by CERT NZ to receive and analyse security incidents. You will have a high degree of input and ownership of the infrastructure platform and will have the opportunity to drive improvement in the tools, technology, and processes used at CERT NZ. The security of our network and data is of paramount importance, and the Systems team are the front line in maintaining that security.
