Rules change
An ETA is permission to visit, not to work. Employment needs an entry visa arranged by the employer before you travel, then a residence visa after arrival; remote workers have the digital nomad visa. Terms and fees change, so confirm with the Department of Immigration and Emigration before you pay anyone. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Confirm each step with the Department of Immigration and Emigration before you rely on it.
