You're not just working a ticket queue. You're owning the platform. This is a senior support role at a specialist credit trading software vendor. Their clients are sophisticated. The product is deep. And because the team is small, what you do actually matters. You'll own core areas of the platform day to day. Trade workflows, fund onboarding, permissions, application consistency. These aren't tasks you pick up and hand off. They're yours. You understand them, you manage them, and when something needs fixing you're the person who sees it through. You'll work directly with clients, not through layers of account management. You'll also work closely with engineering and project teams, which means you're not just reacting to problems. You're part of how the platform evolves. The exposure here is genuinely broad. Rather than supporting one narrow slice of a huge enterprise OMS, you'll get into trade workflows, OMS functionality, fund structures, permissions, financial data and client onboarding across the full investment lifecycle. The company is growing and there are real paths forward inside the business, not just a title change every few years, but genuine growth as the platform scales.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- You'll bring real OMS experience at the L1/L2 level and strong financial knowledge.
- Experience across bonds, loans, CLO or private credit would put you in a strong position.
- You're comfortable owning problems end-to-end without needing someone to hand-hold the process.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- This is fully remote.
Ready to own something rather than just support it? Get in touch. No up-to-date CV required.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as an Application Support Engineer
Verify your degree maps to the role
A bachelor's in computer science, information systems, or software engineering supports an Application Support Engineer E-3 visa petition. A general business or unrelated degree can trigger an LCA challenge, so confirm the match before applying.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Labor Condition Application disclosure data to identify companies that have certified LCAs for application support or systems engineer roles. Prior LCA activity signals a functioning sponsorship process, not just a willingness to consider it.
Frame your CV around specialty occupation evidence
U.S. hiring managers often don't know what 'specialty occupation' means under E-3 rules. Structure your CV to show that your role requires a specific degree, not just general IT experience, which helps your employer's counsel justify the LCA filing.
Negotiate who covers the LCA filing cost
The DOL prohibits employers from passing LCA fees to you, but attorneys' fees for the broader visa process are negotiable. Clarify in writing which costs the employer covers before you sign an offer letter referencing E-3 sponsorship.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end support
Once you have an offer, Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service handles your LCA, DS-160, and consulate preparation from start to finish. This is especially useful when your employer's HR team has no prior E-3 experience and needs a guided process.
Prepare for consulate questions about support scope
Consular officers sometimes question whether an application support role meets specialty occupation standards. Bring documentation showing your role requires degree-level technical knowledge, such as your job description, offer letter, and any relevant system certifications.
E-3 Visa Application Support Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Application Support Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter for Application Support Engineer roles where employers have demonstrated E-3 or H-1B visa sponsorship history, so you're not cold-applying to companies that have never navigated the process. That filtering saves significant time compared to searching general job platforms and manually vetting each employer's immigration track record.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does an Application Support Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for E-3 purposes?
Yes, provided the role genuinely requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a specific technical field such as computer science, information systems, or software engineering. Roles that accept any degree, or where degree requirements are listed as preferred rather than required, can face scrutiny at the LCA stage or during the consulate interview. The job description your employer files must reflect a real degree requirement tied to the work performed.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Application Support Engineers?
For Australian citizens, the E-3 is significantly more practical. The H-1B has an annual cap of 85,000 slots and a lottery that most applicants don't win in a given year. The E-3 has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been exhausted, so there's no lottery and no waiting for a registration cycle. Both require LCA filing and specialty occupation eligibility, so the qualification standards are similar. The difference is timing and certainty.
Can I transfer my E-3 status if I change roles within the same company or move to a new employer?
A role change within the same company requires a new LCA if the job title, duties, wage level, or worksite changes materially. Moving to a new employer always requires a new E-3 petition and a new LCA certified by DOL. Unlike H-1B portability rules, E-3 holders don't have an automatic grace period to begin work for a new employer while the new petition is pending, so timing the transition carefully matters.
