Hobart, Tasmania, Australia Red Apple IT Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Let's be honest, if you're a senior infrastructure engineer, you're probably not short on job offers.

So here's why this one's worth your attention.

You get to live and work in
Hobart
, one of the most beautiful (and underrated) cities in Australia. Short commutes, mountain views, ocean air, and a pace that lets you actually
breathe
without giving up the career growth you'd find in the big smoke.

We're building the next generation of fintech infrastructure — modern, cloud-driven, secure, and scalable. No banking bureaucracy, no "that's how we've always done it" energy. Just a team of capable engineers solving real problems and making the tech better every week.

We're after a
Senior Systems Engineer
who can own the infrastructure end-to-end design, delivery, support, and everything in between. The kind of person who can keep the lights on, spot vulnerabilities before they become outages, and has a few scars from doing it all before.

Yes, there's an on-call roster. No, we don't sugarcoat that part. But we do make sure you've got the tools, automation, and team around you to make it manageable.

What you'll actually be doing:

  • Handling the tough stuff, third-level support, critical incidents, and the "why is this happening again?" moments.
  • Managing servers, networks, VOIP, video conferencing, and cloud infrastructure.
  • Running Microsoft 365 and Azure environments with proper Infrastructure-as-Code.
  • Owning disaster recovery and threat management.
  • Mentoring other techs without the people-management red tape.
  • Researching and implementing new tech that saves time, money, or headaches.

What you bring:

  • Around 10+ years of systems or infrastructure engineering experience.
  • Strong across servers, networks, cloud, and security.
  • Fluent in Microsoft 365, Azure, Veeam, and modern virtual environments.
  • A calm, analytical mindset when everything hits the fan.
  • Solid communication skills, you can explain technical things without the jargon fog.

You'll fit in if you:

  • Care more about solving problems than finding someone to blame.
  • Think "continuous improvement" isn't just something for PowerPoint slides.
  • Value teamwork and knowledge-sharing more than heroics.
  • Like having time outside of work for… you know, life.

This is a chance to do serious engineering in a place that values both technical excellence and quality of life.

You won't just be maintaining legacy systems, you'll be shaping the infrastructure of a growing fintech that's investing heavily in doing things right.

So if you're ready to swap traffic jams for ocean views, and work somewhere your ideas actually matter, hit apply.

We appreciate that your CV might not be up to date. No problem, just send what you've got by applying online or look me up on LinkedIn and message me there; Don St Pierre – redappleit.

Everyone will get a response.
