Build Tools That Actually Help People

We're a small team in Canberra working on budgeting software that doesn't make people feel anxious. If you care about thoughtful design and want your work to matter, we should talk.

Get In Touch

Open Positions Starting August 2025

We're expanding our team later this year. These roles are for people who want to work on real problems without the usual corporate theatre.

Product Designer - Budget Tools

We're looking for someone who can turn complex financial workflows into interfaces that feel natural. You'll work on budget tracking screens, expense categorisation systems, and reporting dashboards that thousands use daily.

  • Design end-to-end experiences from rough concepts through final specs
  • Run user research sessions with actual customers, not personas
  • Work directly with our two developers to ship features weekly
  • Help shape product direction based on what you learn from users

Frontend Developer - React

You'll build the interfaces that our customers interact with every day. This means data visualisation charts, form flows, mobile-responsive layouts, and making everything feel fast even when dealing with months of transaction data.

  • Build new features in React with TypeScript
  • Work on performance issues - some users have years of financial data
  • Collaborate with our designer to refine interactions and animations
  • Help improve our component library and development workflow

Customer Success Specialist

You'll be the person who helps customers get value from our software. That means onboarding new users, answering support questions, gathering feedback, and spotting patterns that help us improve the product.

  • Handle support requests via email and live chat
  • Create help documentation and video tutorials
  • Run onboarding calls for new business customers
  • Track common issues and feed insights back to the product team

Backend Engineer - Python

We need someone comfortable working with financial data pipelines, API integrations, and database optimisation. You'll handle bank feed connections, transaction categorisation logic, and the reporting engine that generates insights.

  • Build and maintain integrations with banking APIs
  • Work on our categorisation and budgeting algorithms
  • Optimise database queries for large transaction datasets
  • Help maintain security standards and data protection measures

Real People Working on Real Problems

We're eight people at the moment. No venture capital breathing down our necks, no ridiculous growth targets. Just a group trying to build something genuinely useful for people managing their money.

Most of us came from bigger tech companies or agencies and got tired of the politics. Here, if you have an idea that could help customers, you can just build it. No three-month approval process or committee meetings.

"I joined because I wanted my work to have visible impact. When we ship a feature, I can see customers using it the same day. That feedback loop keeps me motivated in a way corporate projects never did."

— Nessa Thorburn, Head of Product

We work from our Holt office most days but nobody's strict about it. If you need to work from home occasionally, that's fine. We care more about what you build than where you're sitting.

How We Actually Work

No ping-pong tables or free beer. Just a straightforward approach to building software that helps people manage their finances better.

Ship Things Weekly

We release updates every Thursday afternoon. Small improvements add up faster than waiting months for perfect features. You'll see your work go live regularly, not sit in a backlog forever.

Talk To Customers

Everyone on the team does customer support sometimes. You learn more from five support conversations than twenty planning meetings. Understanding actual pain points makes you better at your job.

Make Decisions Fast

We'd rather try something and learn it doesn't work than spend weeks debating. Most decisions are reversible anyway. If you're stuck, ask. Someone will help you unstick quickly.

Our Space

A Quiet Place To Focus

Our office in Holt isn't fancy but it works well. Good desks, decent coffee machine, enough meeting rooms that you're not fighting for space. Natural light through most of the day.

We keep the open-plan area fairly quiet. If you need to take a long call or have a deep work session, grab one of the focus rooms. The kitchen's where most spontaneous conversations happen.

We're not trying to make the office feel like home or convince you to live here. It's just a good place to get work done with people who care about doing it well.

Getting Started

What The Interview Process Looks Like

We're not fans of the traditional tech interview circus. No whiteboard coding under pressure or brain-teaser puzzles. We want to see how you actually work.

First conversation is just getting to know you - what you've built, what frustrated you in past roles, what you're looking for next. If that goes well, we'll send you a small paid project that reflects actual work you'd do here.

Then you'll meet the team, see the office, ask questions about how things really work. We'll be honest about challenges and trade-offs. You should have enough information to decide if this is right for you.
