Build Your Career in Financial Technology

We're looking for people who care about helping Australians make smarter financial decisions. Not just those who want a job, but folks who genuinely want to contribute to something meaningful.

melquintavo started in 2019 when three mates from Tamworth realized that most budgeting tools were either too complicated or too simplistic. We built something different. Something that actually works for real people managing real money.

Since then, we've grown to a team of 28. And yeah, we're hiring again because demand keeps surprising us. Good problem to have, honestly.

Hear From The Team

These are actual quotes from our team members, collected during our January 2025 internal survey.

Lachlan Tierney, Backend Developer at melquintavo

Lachlan Tierney

Backend Developer

I joined in March 2024 after working for a big consultancy in Sydney. The difference is night and day. At melquintavo, I actually know the impact of what I'm building because I can see user feedback within days, not months. Plus, I bought a house here for what my Sydney rent was. That alone changed my life.

Reuben Voss, Product Designer at melquintavo

Reuben Voss

Product Designer

What surprised me most was how much input I have on product direction. In previous roles, designers were just handed specs to make pretty. Here, I'm in planning meetings from day one. Last quarter, I pushed back on a feature that would've added complexity, and the team actually listened. We built something simpler that tested way better with users.
