Build software that actually ships, with people who take the craft seriously.
We are a small, tight-knit team in Adelaide, Australia, working with founders and operators on the systems that need to hold up in production. If you care about your craft and have shipped real software, or you are hungry to, you are the kind of person we look for. We hire when we find someone we want to work with, whatever the title, not when a deck rate needs a body.
- Adelaide, South Australia
- Hired on craft, not titles

What we offer
The shape of working here.
We hire for the long arc, so the conditions are designed around staying. Strong peers, transparent compensation, sane on-call, and time off that we mean.
Strong peers, no rotations
Every project is staffed by people who own their work and have each other's backs. No being thrown onto a project alone, no shifting team every quarter.
Outcome-priced engagements
We sell outcomes, not hours. That means no timesheet pressure on you, and no client conversations dictated by a billable target.
Adelaide hybrid, remote-friendly
Our office is in Adelaide; we keep flexible hours and remote-first delivery. We meet in person when it helps, not because it must.
Four weeks paid leave
Plus a paid week between Christmas and New Year on top, every year, regardless of tenure.
Learning budget
An annual allowance for conferences, courses, or books. Decide for yourself what is worth investing in.
Sane on-call
Tiered rotations, paid for explicitly, never a surprise. The team backs each other up; nobody runs solo at 3am.
Equity for full-timers
Full-time employees receive equity vesting on a four-year schedule with a one-year cliff.
Mac and your own setup
Choose your own development setup. We cover the kit, you pick what works for you.
How we hire
Four steps. About three weeks. No leetcode tournaments.
We hire by working through a small piece of real work together and talking about systems you have shipped. The whole process is usually done in three to four weeks. We tell you fast if it is not a fit.
