Senior Systems Engineer – MSP (AU) Night Shift

Full-time | Remote (Philippines) | After Hours Support (AU) - Night Shift Schedule

Join a growing Australian managed IT services provider, specializing in cloud, cyber security and automation, in a fully remote after-hours role with real room to grow as one of the team's first offshore engineers. Working overnight in the Australian time zone, you will take over ticket handovers from the onshore team, respond to client incidents as they arise, and use the quieter periods to drive proactive optimization across the environments you support.

Day to day you will work across the full support lifecycle, from triaging and resolving tickets through to Microsoft 365 administration, basic cloud and security tasks, and keeping documentation accurate, with the chance to take on more technical project work over time. The ideal person is a proactive, technically switched on support engineer who is comfortable working independently overnight and stays calm when a client incident lands on their desk.
