01
Local matters.
Australian developers, Australian timezones, Australian contracts. ABNs, GST, AU privacy and IP. Built here, supported here. If a brief is going to a developer, that developer is in Australia. Full stop.
Why we exist
Hiring developers in Australia is broken.
Job boards bury you in mismatched applicants. Agencies push pre-baked scope and bill you for the salesperson. Freelance marketplaces race to the bottom on price and quietly ship the work overseas. Founders, tradies, cafe owners, real estate agents, anyone with a real business and a real budget, get burnt, ghosted, or talked down to.
We started FindDevs because the middle was missing. The bit where a non-technical person writes down what they need in plain English, hands it to someone who actually knows the Australian developer market, and gets back three serious quotes from people they can trust.
That's all we do. Three vetted Australian developers. Hand-picked to your brief. Written quotes you can compare side-by-side. Free for the client, always. Developers cover our cut from their winning fee.
We exist so that anyone with an idea or a business can find the right Aussie to build it, without the chase, the cringe, or the gamble.
What we believe
Six things we won't budge on.
Read these like a contract. If we ever stop doing one of them, we've stopped being FindDevs.
02
Hand-picked beats algorithmic.
Software can match keywords. It can't match judgement. Every brief is shortlisted by a human who reads it, understands it, and picks three developers from memory. No "smart matching" black box. No mystery.
03
Trust is the product.
The platform is just the wrapper. What we actually sell is the confidence that the developer on the other end is the real deal: vetted, available, and worth your time. Everything else is decoration.
04
Free should mean free.
No subscription. No commission inflated into the quote. No upsell. The developer pays our cut from their winning fee. The client never pays us a cent. If that ever changes, we'll have changed too.
05
Quality is a filter, not a tagline.
12% acceptance rate. Portfolio review, technical conversation, two Australian client references. Every developer is checked before they ever see a brief. Membership is earned, not bought.
06
No one gets left stranded.
If a matched developer drops the ball mid-project, we step in. Find a replacement, smooth the handover, protect your timeline. That's the Service Guarantee, and we've never had to break it.
Who we're for
The people building real things.
Not the tech press, not the rate-shoppers. The people who actually need software to work.
-
Founders with an idea: who don't know where to start and don't want to get fleeced on their first build.
-
Small business owners: cafes, tradies, retailers, real estate agents, needing a website, online store, or booking system that actually works.
-
Operators with a problem: that software could fix, but who can't tell a Shopify dev from a SaaS architect (and shouldn't have to).
-
Non-technical decision makers: at growing companies who need to commission work without being held hostage by their lack of jargon.
Who we're not for
The network is premium. We protect it.
If you're after a $500 offshore build or a marketplace where you can underbid by half, this isn't the place. The developers who'd accept it aren't here either.
-
Tyre-kickers comparing 17 quotes before deciding.
-
Rate-shoppers looking for the cheapest pixel pusher.
-
$500 offshore builds. We are explicitly not that.
-
Anyone who needs a "ninja", "guru", or "rockstar".

CEO, FindDevs
The team
A small Aussie team, deliberately.
FindDevs is run out of Australia by a tight team that talks to clients and developers every day. We don't have a sales floor. We don't have a "growth team". We have people who match briefs, talk to founders, vet developers, and answer the support inbox, often the same person, in the same week.
We work this way because matching is judgement work, and judgement doesn't scale through layers. Every brief that comes in is read by a human who knows the network. That's the whole job.
How we operate
-
Read every brief.No auto-routing. A human reads each new submission and matches from memory.
-
Talk to every developer.Network developers go through a real conversation, not a form. We know their work, their style, and what they'll happily pass on.
-
Stay close to the project.After the match, we check in. If something's off, we hear it before it becomes a crisis.
