Work on fleets that actually matter
We are a small, senior team in Canberra running mobility and endpoint platforms for Australian government, defence and enterprise. If you want depth rather than ticket volume, this is that kind of shop.
No roles advertised right now
We hire when we find the right person more often than we hire to fill a requisition. If you are the right person, that is worth an email regardless of what is listed here.
Send a speculative application
Tell us what you have run, at what scale, and what you would rather be doing. Someone technical reads every one of these — if there is a fit now or in six months, we will say so honestly either way.
What the job is actually like
An honest description beats a benefits list nobody believes.
Work on real fleets
Tens of thousands of managed devices across Australian government and defence. Not a lab, and not somebody else’s abstraction over it.
A small, senior team
No tier-one script and no ticket-mill. The people who design the environment are the people who run it, and that includes you.
Vendor certification, paid
Ivanti, Microsoft, Jamf, Apple and Zimperium training and certification funded, with time set aside to actually do it.
Clearance sponsorship
For roles that need it, we sponsor and support the security clearance process rather than filtering for people who already hold one.
Canberra-based, genuinely
Our work is performed onshore by Australian-based staff. Hybrid arrangements, with an office in Bruce rather than a mailing address.
Indigenous-owned
A 100% Indigenous-owned business. We particularly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Four steps, no take-home project
We think a hiring process should respect your time as much as ours. This is the whole of it.
A conversation
Thirty minutes with someone technical, not a recruiter reading a keyword list. We will tell you what the role actually involves, including the parts that are tedious.
A practical discussion
We talk through a real scenario from our environment — a migration that went sideways, a fleet with no owner. No whiteboard algorithms, no take-home project on your weekend.
Meet the team
You meet the people you would work with day to day, and get to ask them the questions you would rather not ask a hiring manager.
Offer and clearance
A written offer with the salary in it. Where a role requires a clearance, we start that process and support you through it.
We are an equal opportunity employer. We particularly encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. If you need an adjustment at any stage of the process, tell us and we will make it.
Proudly Indigenous-owned

Think you should be working here?
Even with nothing advertised, we would rather hear from the right person early than miss them entirely.
