Local senior engineers cost A$135-175K plus on-costs. Our flexible packages start at $2.5K/month with strong timezone overlap.

A full-time hire is expensive. A full department is out of reach.

Hiring one senior engineer in Sydney or Melbourne means A$135-175K in salary plus super, payroll, and recruiting time. For a seed or Series A startup, that is a large commitment before you have validated the product.

Australian startups need senior capability, but often for a milestone, not a career. A part-time engineer gives you the skill without the full-time cost.
