Benefits

Simple Machines isn’t your typical tech company. Rather, we’re a firm of passionate and talented expert consultants that are as much a community as a company.

When we set out to make a difference nearly 10 years ago, we did so because we weren’t happy with the status quo of technology consultancies. We wanted to build a company we would want to hire ourselves. And we’ve done just that.

At the core of our company is a team of talented individuals, many of whom are at the top of their field. We regularly present at local and international conferences, committing to many of the open-source projects we utilise in our day-to-day engagements and release many other projects back to the broader technology community.
