Software engineering and product design for Perth businesses

An Australian company building product-grade software for Perth teams across resources, oil and gas, marine and defence, healthtech, and B2B SaaS. Melbourne-based, AWST-aware in how we run the work, and honest about the longest timezone gap in the country.

Why Perth teams work with us

The honest version. We are not pretending to have a St Georges Terrace office. We are an Australian engineering and product consultancy with senior staff who travel for the days that matter and run the rest on a deliberate AWST-aware cadence.

AWST-aware cadence

AWST is two hours behind AEST and three behind AEDT — the biggest timezone gap of any region we serve. We run async-first standups, longer mid-morning Perth overlap windows, written-first decision logs, and longer on-site blocks. The cadence is deliberate, not a workaround.

On the ground when it matters

We are based in Melbourne and travel to Perth in two-to-three day blocks — kickoffs, workshops, mine-site or LNG operator sessions, and milestone showcases. Single-day fly-ins do not earn the flight; we plan around blocks that do.

Senior engineers, no body-shopping

Every engagement is staffed by senior engineers and designers who have shipped product before. We do not subcontract, offshore, or rotate junior staff in once the statement of work is signed.

Embedded in your team

We work in your Slack, your Linear, your repos, and your sprint cadence. Our engineers show up to your standups under their own names — not as a vendor pool you have to coordinate around.

You own everything

Code, infrastructure, designs, and documentation are yours from day one. No vendor lock-in, no licensing tail, and no surprise retainers if you choose to bring the work in-house later.

Australian business, on-shore delivery

Eaglum is an Australian company with Australian engineers and Australian invoices. Your work, data, and people stay on-shore — important for resources operators, defence-adjacent yards, and WA Government engagements.

Industries we work with in Perth

Perth concentrates resources, energy, marine, and a real-and-growing B2B SaaS scene. We have shipped product across all of them and we are honest about where our depth ends.

Resources & mining

Rio Tinto, BHP, Fortescue, and Roy Hill run the largest autonomous-fleet and rail operations in the world from Perth. We build operator platforms, fleet integrations, ore-train ops dashboards, and the OT-IT middleware that connects pit to port to ERP.

Oil, gas & energy

Woodside and Chevron LNG anchor an oil-and-gas head-office cluster in the CBD. We work on production reporting, supply-chain platforms, contractor portals, and the regulated reporting that comes with operating offshore facilities.

Marine & defence

Henderson shipbuilding and Austal anchor a defence-adjacent marine cluster south of the city. We build the operational platforms, supplier portals, and quality-management product that surrounds yard work — not classified delivery.

Fintech & financial services

Smaller cluster than the eastern states but real. We work with regional banks, fintechs, and the financial-services tail that shipped product into a market with WA-specific compliance and remoteness constraints.

Healthtech

Fiona Stanley Hospital, Royal Perth, and Telethon Kids concentrate clinical and paediatric research talent. We build clinician-facing tools, patient platforms, and trial systems that respect the data and the workflow.

Universities & research

UWA, Curtin, Murdoch, and Edith Cowan run research and student-facing platforms that need engineering depth. We build admin systems, research-data portals, and student-experience products with public-sector-grade documentation.

B2B SaaS & growing businesses

A real and growing scale-up scene built around resources-services, professional-services tooling, and consumer-facing product. We work alongside teams shipping into ANZ enterprise from a longer flight away than most of their competitors.

How we work

Four steps from first call to running software. The Perth variant runs on async-first cadence, longer on-site blocks, and written-first decisions — the timezone is a real constraint we engineer around, not a marketing footnote.

01

Discovery

Read the system, the dashboards and the on-call history. Talk to your engineers and the people closest to your users.

02

Slice definition

Agree the first slice on a single page — scope, success metric, Definition of Done, risks. Reviewed with your team, not handed to them.

03

Build the slice

Pair, review, test, deploy. The slice goes to production behind a feature flag with the observability and runbook your team will need.

04

Hand it over

Walk your team through the code, infrastructure and runbook. Decide together whether to scope the next slice — no contract pressure either way.

Where work happens in Perth

Perth runs along the river and out to Henderson — a CBD financial core, a north-of-river B2B-SaaS belt, and a marine and defence cluster south of the city. These are the rooms we plan our visits around.

Perth CBD

St Georges Terrace, Brookfield Place, and the head-office cluster for resources, oil, and gas. Where exec presentations and procurement workshops land.

Subiaco

A historically professional-services and creative-tech precinct, increasingly tech-startup adjacent. Comfortable for embedded-team work and longer on-site blocks.

Osborne Park & Joondalup

Industrial, B2B SaaS, and operations density north of the city. Where resources-services tech and the long tail of growing WA businesses tend to base their teams.

Fremantle

Port operations, logistics, and a small but committed creative-tech scene. Where freight, port, and marine-adjacent product gets validated.

Henderson

Defence and marine yards south of the city — Austal, the new defence shipbuilding precinct, and the supplier base around them. We work with the operational and panel-supplier side, not classified delivery.

Murdoch & Fiona Stanley precinct

Health and research density around Fiona Stanley and Murdoch University. Where clinical product gets validated by the people who use it.

Frequently asked questions

Are your engineers based in Perth?

No — we are based in Melbourne and we are honest about that. We travel to Perth for the days that matter (kickoffs, workshops, on-site reviews, mine-site or yard sessions) and run the rest async with deliberate AWST-aware cadence. We have shipped Perth product on this model before; the timezone is a real constraint we plan around, not a marketing line.

How do you handle the AWST timezone gap?

Deliberately. We run async-first standups (written, with a recorded video summary if needed), centre live overlap windows on Perth mid-morning when both ends are fresh, write decisions down before voicing them, and plan longer on-site blocks (two-to-three days) instead of single-coffee fly-ins. The cadence is different from our eastern-states work and we are upfront about it on day one — not a workaround we discover in week three.

How does on-site work happen?

Two-to-three day blocks at the start of an engagement and at major milestones. We come to your office, your end-users, or the precinct that matters — Perth CBD, Subiaco, Henderson, or a Pilbara operations centre. Single-day visits do not earn the flight; we plan blocks that do.

What industries do you work with in Perth?

Resources and mining, oil and gas, marine and defence (operational, non-classified work), healthtech, fintech, universities, and the growing B2B SaaS and scale-up scene. We avoid sectors where we cannot bring real depth.

Can you embed engineers into our Perth team?

Yes. Our engineers join your standup, your repo, and your sprint cadence under their own names. They report to your tech lead, not a vendor account manager. The AWST gap is a constraint we plan around — async-first standups, written decisions, longer overlap windows.

What technologies do you work with?

Laravel, Node.js, and Python on the server. React, TypeScript, and Inertia on the client. Postgres and SQLite where it fits. We meet your stack rather than imposing one — if the platform you have is the right answer, we ship in it. We are also comfortable working alongside the .NET-and-PI-Historian world that resources operators live in.

How fast can you start?

Discovery typically starts within two to three weeks of signing. The Slice — your first piece of shipped product — usually lands four to six weeks after that. We are deliberate about not over-committing; we would rather move the start date than ship a slice with the wrong people on it.

Do you do WA Government and defence-adjacent work?

Yes — the operational, non-classified work that surrounds the primes and state agencies. We are familiar with WA Government cyber-security expectations, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, ISM-aligned controls, and the documentation public-sector buyers expect at handover. We do not undertake classified work directly without a partner-prime arrangement, and we are upfront about that on day one.

Who owns the IP?

You do — code, designs, infrastructure, and documentation, from day one. Repositories live in your GitHub org. Cloud infrastructure runs in your AWS, GCP, or Azure account. There is no vendor lock-in tail, no licensing surprise, and no retainer required to keep using what we built.
