The Sydney market

Where senior engineers actually live.

Sydney is Australia's largest tech hiring market. The deepest pools sit in fintech (Atlassian, Canva, Block, Airwallex, Up), AI scale-ups (Harrison.AI, Cortical Labs, Eucalyptus), enterprise cloud (CBA, Westpac, Macquarie, IAG), and a long tail of Series B-D scale-ups across health, govtech and infrastructure.

Our active Sydney network spans roughly 700 senior engineers. Hybrid is the modal pattern (2-3 days in office) but full-remote is increasingly negotiated as part of total compensation.
