Systems Engineer

Salary: $90,000 – $120,000 per year

About Us

Binary Evolution is a Brisbane-born managed IT services provider, looking after Australian businesses since 2008. We don't do break-fix. We partner with small and medium businesses: medical, legal, accounting, manufacturing, construction and more and take real ownership of how their technology runs. Our tagline is "We care. Technology redefined," and our clients stay because we mean it: the first client we signed in 2008 is still with us today.

We're a tight, senior team that punches well above our weight, and we're growing. That's where you come in.

About The Role

As our Systems Engineer, you'll design, implement and manage the IT infrastructure our clients depend on: servers, networks, storage, security and everything in between. Reporting to the Engineering Team Lead, you'll be the technical expert our clients lean on: the person who sees problems coming and fixes them before they feel the impact.

This is a hands-on, client-facing engineering role. You won't be ticket-burning in a basement: you'll be solving real problems for real businesses and seeing the results of your work.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing and implementing IT infrastructure solutions tailored to client needs: servers, networks and storage

• Designing, configuring and maintaining network infrastructure: switches, routers and firewalls

• Implementing and monitoring cybersecurity measures that protect client data and systems

• Building and maintaining backup and disaster recovery plans that keep businesses running when it matters

• Providing expert support and troubleshooting to keep client systems highly available and performing

• Working directly with clients to understand their business and recommend the right solutions: not the over-engineered ones

• Monitoring client environments to catch and fix issues proactively, before they bite

• Performing regular security and performance audits, and keeping documentation sharp and current

What You'll Bring

• Proven experience in a systems engineering, senior support or MSP role

• Strong hands-on skills across Windows Server, Microsoft 365/Azure and virtualisation (Hyper-V/VMware)

• Solid networking knowledge: switching, routing and firewalls

• Real-world experience with backup/DR solutions and cybersecurity tooling (EDR, patching, monitoring)

• The ability to explain technical things to non-technical people, plainly and respectfully

• A proactive mindset: you fix the thing nobody else noticed, and you document it

• MSP experience and familiarity with RMM/PSA platforms

• Australian working rights and a current driver's licence

Nice To Have

• Certifications such as Microsoft, Fortinet NSE, CompTIA or Cisco

• Experience with hosted infrastructure, data centres and cloud migration projects

What We Offer

• $90K–$120K per year, commensurate with experience

• A genuine senior team with decades of combined experience: you'll learn from people worth learning from

• Real client responsibility from day one, not grunt work

• Modern tooling: Huntress, Cove, NinjaOne and a modern Microsoft-centric stack

• Career growth as we grow: national expansion is on the roadmap, and early engineers will lead it

• A culture with zero bullshit: honest, direct, and genuinely supportive
