​​Looking for Philippines-based candidates

Job Role: Automation & Integration Engineer

Compensation range: $2,500 - $4,000 AUD Monthly

Engagement type: Full-time, Independent Contractor Agreement

Work Schedule: Australian business hours, Monday to Friday, with availability to collaborate closely with the client and their Office Manager.

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:

The client is an Australian roofing business developing an AI-first operations platform to streamline business processes and support future growth. The platform will connect key business systems, including ServiceM8, Xero, GoHighLevel, and roof-measurement tools, into a unified and automated operational ecosystem.

Role Overview:

This is not a typical automation or integration role. We are looking for a resourceful, commercially minded Automation & Integration Engineer who combines strong technical integration expertise, business acumen, and an understanding of operational workflows.

The core focus of this role is building and maintaining reliable two-way integrations between ServiceM8, Xero, GoHighLevel, roof-measurement tools, and other business applications. You will develop robust API integrations, configure webhooks, prevent duplicate records, implement error handling and recovery mechanisms, and ensure data flows accurately and reliably across the business's systems.

GoHighLevel is one component of the wider technology stack. The Office Manager will manage its day-to-day operations, while you will be responsible for connecting it with other business systems, supporting relevant automations, and ensuring information flows correctly across the operational ecosystem.

A key requirement of this role is developing systems transparently within the client's own Mac-based environment and AI workspace powered by Claude. The goal is to ensure that the company's AI learns its business processes, system architecture, and implementation decisions as the work progresses, so the business can understand, maintain, and troubleshoot its systems independently.

You will work closely with the Office Manager to ensure that the systems you build reflect real operational needs and improve how the business operates.

This is a long-term, full-time contractor engagement for someone who wants to take ownership of business systems, contribute to operational and financial performance, and grow into a broader business operations role over time.
