Benefits

Things you might want to know about us:

• We offer a warm and collaborative work culture with big time vision. Our aim is to create an environment in which everyone is included in decisions and opportunities, regardless of your role, age, or how long you've been with the company. Everyone's opinion is welcome, and we're firm believers in discussions and radical candor.
• Equity package as a valued member of the company.
• We trust our people. This means we focus on outcomes and provide a truly flexible workplace. So if you need some time to go to the gym during quiet times, want to break up your day to look after your kids, or feel like going for a walk around that 3pm slump, it's all fine. We have team members around the globe, so you may need to attend an early morning or early evening meeting occasionally.
• You will work alongside an experienced team who will challenge you everyday (and expect you to challenge them back).
• We're big fans of learning new things, which is why we give you the support and professional development to help you achieve your career goals, learn and grow. We offer time and support to take courses, read books, or attend events, and we have a career development framework in place.
• We value flexible work and healthy boundaries. That's why we support the right to disconnect. While some after-hours availability may occasionally be required - for example, to respond to critical system issues, urgent client queries, or time-sensitive project needs - we aim to keep this to a minimum and always prioritise balance.
• We offer a hybrid working model, with time split between remote work and regular days together in our CBD-based office. These in-person moments are a key part of how we stay connected, collaborate well and build a strong team.
