Doghouse is changing.
We’ve been building digital platforms for government and enterprise for nearly two decades. That work stays.
What changes is how we do it.
Every role is now AI first. Workflows are being rebuilt, not optimised. The expectation is simple: automate the repeatable parts so more time goes into thinking, judgment and craft.

- FOCUS

Who we're looking for.
Curious by default.
You've used AI tools beyond the novelty stage. You've built something productive with them.
Your workflow has been turned upside down and you've come out the other side faster, not slower.
Entrepreneurial.
You don't wait for someone to hand you a process. You see a broken workflow and you fix it.
With code, with automation, with a prompt, with a new approach entirely.
Rewired.
You ask "should this even exist as a task?" before you ask "how do I do this task?" A job done manually today might not need a human touching it next quarter.
You find that freeing.
You ship.
You lean into the unknown. You'd rather try something and learn than plan forever.
The fastest path to knowing whether an idea works is to build a rough version and see what happens.
You care about the craft.
Government and enterprise clients trust us with high stakes platforms.
AI first is how we go faster. It's not a licence to go sloppy. The craft still matters.
What we don't want.
Being direct about this saves everyone's time.
Engineers who only want to build with the tools they learned five years ago.
People who treat AI as a threat to route around rather than a capability to embrace.
Anyone looking for a stable, predictable career ladder. We don't have one, and we're not sure anyone does anymore.
People who see automation and think "that's not my job." At Doghouse, it is now.
The roles we're watching for.
Engineers
AI and automation.
Product.
Platform and DevOps.
Delivery.

Tell us anyway if the shoe fits.
Some of the best people we've hired didn't fit a category we'd already written down.
Expectations.
A few things to know before you send anything through.
We don't always get to read every resume. Don't worry if you don't hear back. We'd love to respond to everyone, but we're a small team and the volume doesn't always allow it.
We keep your details on file. When the right fit comes along, we go to what we've already got first. Applying now is genuinely worth it, even if nothing's advertised.
We're not doing internships at the moment. We have in the past, and we may again. For now we're focused on experienced people who can move fast with us.
We hire in Perth and Melbourne and we work distributed. Where you're based matters less than how you work.
