Engineering talent for Australian startups
Local senior engineers cost A$135-175K plus on-costs. Our flexible packages start at $3K/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.
Why Australian startups choose Quesitive
Cost Advantage
A full-time senior costs $9-12K/month all-in locally. Our part-time packages start at $3K/month with medior and senior options.
Strong Timezone Fit
Perth shares our timezone. Sydney and Melbourne overlap our working window for most of the day.
Senior Capability
Medior to senior engineers with experience across unicorns, decacorns, and early-stage product teams.
Month-to-Month
Start with 4 or 6 hours per day. Scale up, down, or stop without a long-term contract.
Australian market questions
How does working with an Australian team happen?
Fully remote with the same tools any distributed team uses: Slack, video calls, GitHub, and a shared project board. Our working window overlaps Australian business hours for most of the day.
Are your prices cheaper than Australian hires?
Yes. A full-time senior locally costs $9-12K/month all-in. Our part-time packages start at $3K/month, and you only pay for the hours you need.
Do you understand the Australian market?
We work with Australian startups across multiple industries and understand the local hiring cost problem, timezone expectations, and delivery norms.
What Australian cities do you serve?
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and regional Australia. The service is remote, so location is not a limitation.
How fast can we start?
We match candidates within 48 hours. You interview directly, then we agree on the working window before you commit.
What if I need more than 6 hours per day?
That moves into managed territory. Our team packages and IT Development run engineering end-to-end with you reviewing results.
