Careers with Leidos Australia
Proud of our purpose
Smart people, doing fascinating work that really matters
At Leidos, we do work that really matters, inspired by our mission to make the world safer, healthier, and more efficient through technology, engineering, and science.
With 25 years of local experience, our 2000+ team members work together to solve Australia’s toughest challenges in government, defence, intelligence and border protection.
We are a trusted partner to some of Australia’s largest government agencies including Defence, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), the Australian Border Force, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). We proudly make a difference by managing huge local and global information systems, enhancing cybersecurity, developing bespoke software, managing complex systems integrations, creating critical mission systems, protecting our borders and saving lives.
Our work is diverse and interesting
- It keeps people safe. Like supplying geospatial and imagery systems to safeguard our military troops in hostile territories and conducting airborne search and rescue operations over land and sea.
- It helps sustain a healthier future. Like hosting the BOM’s historical, current and predictive data so climate scientists, farmers and Australians can make better informed decisions.
- It creates efficiencies. Like managing the ATO’s vast IT system to support 12 million Australian taxpayers and small businesses.
Our people are seriously smart
We are forward-thinkers, who enjoy a challenge. Our leaders empower you to do your best work. You’ll feel inspired by what you can achieve and are supported by an inclusive and flexible culture that genuinely cares for your wellbeing.
As a data scientist, I’m in nerd heaven. Huge data sets. Tech to analyse it. And I’m doing interesting work that has an immediate impact on making jobs easier and Australians safer.

Find Out How We are Tackling The Gender Pay Gap
In February 2024, the Federal Government’s Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) published, for the first time, the gender pay gap (GPG) for private sector employers with 100 or more employees.
Expressed as a percentage or a dollar figure, the GPG shows the difference between the earnings of women and men across organisations. The GPG is not the same as paying women and men the same for performing work that is the same or comparable. This is known as 'equal pay'. To find out more about the GPG click here.
Leidos Australia, excluding Airborne Solutions Australia, reported a median GPG for both base salary and total remuneration of 15.7% in the 2022-23 reporting period. We are committed to reducing our GPG and have published a statement outlining how we will do this. To read our statement click on the link below:
