VIC - Melbourne - 655 Collins St
Service Stream is looking for a hands-on Systems Engineer to help maintain and continuously improve our infrastructure, cloud platforms and Microsoft 365 environment.
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety. One day you might be hardening servers, remediating vulnerabilities or managing certificates; the next you're troubleshooting cloud services, automating repetitive tasks, or improving the way we manage our environments.
You'll be joining a team that values ownership, collaboration and practical problem solving. We need someone who doesn't wait for problems to become incidents, but actively looks for ways to make systems more secure, reliable and efficient.

Working across Windows and Linux infrastructure, AWS and Azure cloud environments, Microsoft 365 and enterprise networking, you'll help ensure our systems remain secure, patched, available and ready to support the business.
This is a true run-and-improve role. You'll focus on operational excellence, automation, security uplift and keeping the lights on, while continually finding smarter ways to do things.
You'll work closely with application teams, service providers and technology stakeholders across the business to maintain a reliable and modern technology environment.
