Small team,
long
horizon.

We are a small studio in Sydney and Melbourne building eight products with university, TAFE and not-for-profit partners. We hire slowly, keep teams small, and expect people to work directly with the practitioners who use what we make.

Open roles

Who we’re looking for.

If none of these fit but the work does, write to us anyway. Half our team arrived that way.

Senior product engineer

Front-of-stack work across SimChoices and Strategy Spaces. You will sit in on partner sessions, watch people use what you built, and change it accordingly. Comfortable owning a product surface end to end.

More Senior product engineer

Learning designer

Turning practitioner cases into branching scenarios. Suits someone from teaching, vocational education or clinical training who wants to work on the tooling rather than only inside it.

Research engineer, methods

Statistical and qualitative method work across Quanti and Quali: validating implementations against reference libraries, writing the methods notes, and keeping our claims honest.

Partnerships lead

Holding relationships with universities, TAFEs and not-for-profits. Less business development than shared problem-finding, and it involves a lot of listening in rooms you did not organise.

Everyone here spends time in the settings we build for. It is the difference between a guess and a decision.

How we hire

Three conversations, no take-homes.

We do not set unpaid work. If a task is genuinely needed, it is scoped, timeboxed and paid at a contractor rate.

A conversation

Forty-five minutes about your work and ours. No whiteboard, no puzzles. We will tell you honestly whether the fit looks real before asking for more of your time.

Working session

Two hours on a real problem from a current partnership, with two of the team. Paid. You keep whatever you produce.

Meet a partner

A conversation with one of the practitioners we build for. They get a say, because you will be working with them directly.
