Working at Patient Zero


We’re passionate about delivering working applications for clients, and have built a community of people who love working in cross functional delivery teams that actually work.

If you love being challenged by interesting development problems and working across a range of technology, we’d love to hear from you.


Our primary engineering hub is in Brisbane. Learn more about our Brisbane software development capability.

More Tech Company Than Consultancy


Despite what the name might imply, we aren’t medical researchers (though we do build software for them). We are a passionate collective of engineers, designers, and product leaders who believe that better decisions come from diverse viewpoints and rigorous debate.


At Patient Zero, we don’t just "resource" projects; we embed high-functioning teams to solve complex problems. We are tech-agnostic and full-stack, meaning your day-to-day could cover everything from TypeScript, C#, and React to .NET Core, Kotlin, and Azure.


If you love leaning into best practices and have a soft spot for zombie culture, you’ll fit right in.

Small Teams, No Hierarchy


Forget the "command and control" management style. At Patient Zero, we operate with a flat structure that empowers the people actually doing the work.

Technology

We trust our teams to make architectural decisions and drive software design (when the customer will allow us).

Agile

We don't just say we do Agile; we practice it. Expect automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and peer reviews to be standard.

Team

You will typically work in a cross-functional team of ~5 people, including a Product Owner and experienced technical mentors.

Delivery

Whether you are a Junior or a Principal, you will be surrounded by people you can learn from (and teach).

The "Learn Anything" Philosophy


In an industry that changes every week, standing still is moving backward. That’s why we put our money where our mouth is when it comes to your growth.

Learn Anything Budget

Every employee gets an annual budget to spend on courses, conferences, books, or events. If it helps you grow, we support it.

Certember

A dedicated month where we band together to smash out certifications and upskill in new technologies.

Hackathons & Red Teams

We regularly run internal CTF (Capture The Flag) security challenges and hackathons. It’s a chance to break things, build things, and sharpen your skills in a low-stakes, high-fun environment.
