I know she is a bounty hunter but I had never saw her in that role

This would be interesting. It would be nice to see Samus have a contract with somebody who isn't the Galactic Federation. I think the "bounty hunter" role is just so that we can have her story of doing things alone more plausible. For all intents and purposes she seems to function as if she is part of the Galactic Federation (this is noticeable in Metroid Fusion, especially, where they are very much intertwined.)
