About the role
Job Role: Senior Engineer (Level 3)
Benefits
Compensation range: $2,000 AUD - $4,000 AUD / Monthly
Engagement type: Independent Contractor Agreement
Work Schedule: This role follows USA business hours as part of a follow-the-sun support model, providing senior technical coverage during late UK and USA business hours.

As an independent contractor, you’ll have flexibility in how you manage your time while ensuring timely delivery and responsiveness during your scheduled coverage.
About the company
Who We Are: At Hunt St, we help Australian companies hire top remote talent in the Philippines. For this role, you will be engaged directly by the client as an independent contractor. We are not an outsourcing agency. All of our roles are 100% remote, so you’ll be able to work from home.
Who the Client Is: Our client is a rapidly growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) delivering enterprise-grade IT solutions to businesses across Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States. Operating with a global “follow-the-sun” support model, they provide proactive IT management, cloud services, cybersecurity, infrastructure solutions, and strategic technology consulting to ambitious small and mid-sized businesses.
With an experienced international team and a strong culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and technical excellence, the business invests heavily in modern technologies, automation, and well-documented operational processes. They’re looking for a highly capable Senior Engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, mentoring other engineers, and delivering high-quality project implementations that directly impact client success.
Role Overview: We’re looking for an experienced Senior Engineer (Level 3) to become the senior technical escalation point for complex infrastructure, cloud, networking, and cybersecurity issues while supporting the successful delivery of client projects. This is not a project ownership role; instead, you’ll work closely with Project Managers and the wider technical team to execute complex technical implementations, troubleshoot high-level incidents, and mentor junior engineers across the business. The successful candidate will thrive in a fast-paced MSP environment, demonstrate exceptional technical depth across Microsoft technologies, networking, cloud platforms, and security, and be confident making independent technical decisions while supporting clients across multiple time zones.
The ideal candidate has built their career within a small or medium-sized MSP environment, enjoys wearing multiple technical hats, and thrives in a collaborative team where adaptability, initiative, and client ownership are essential.
