We are working exclusively with a world-leading business whose products are used in high-end, large-scale events.

About the Role

This is a Sydney-based, senior technical role supporting APAC customers on complex IP networking issues within broadcast and live event technology, spanning TCP/UDP, VLANs, multicast and PTP.

• Mentor and support engineers across the APAC team, sharing technical expertise and helping resolve escalated issues.
• Step in on sensitive customer relationship matters, such as billing disputes or SLA concerns, as they arise.
• Build familiarity with the team's case follow-up discipline and customer engagement processes through Salesforce.
• Travel periodically to regional offices and training events

Requirements

• Strong, hands-on foundation in IT/IP networking, including TCP/UDP, VLANs, multicast and PTP; Cisco knowledge highly regarded.
• Background in broadcast, pro-audio or media/OT technology.
• A Principal Engineer, Senior Engineer or Technical Lead background, with genuine mentoring experience valued; a formal "Manager" title is not required.
• Comfortable working within a team spread across different cultural contexts, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region, with openness to growing into people leadership over time.
• A hands-on, proactive approach.
• CRM experience, particularly Salesforce, is an advantage
• Full working rights in Australia
