About us - We create digital permaculture

Ologist are a digital transformation agency working with large institutions to solve big problems.

Ologist was founded by Sarah-Jane and Josh Finch in 2020, after years of frustrations with the startup sector, with the goal of rejecting trend-chasing, disposable technology, and persuing our goal of Digital Permaculture.

We work with large institutions - government departments, universities, local councils - to build long-term solutions to real problems. We're not here to push "trendy" tech-stacks or "magic" methodologies, just solid, proven engineering practices.

We're also a great place to work. From our progressive compensation, flexible working and industry- leading training and development; we try to foster a culture brings out the best in engineers.

Our culture - Happiness first; Growth second

Ologist was founded with the goal of designing a place that we would want to work. No hustle, no grind, no trends, no BS; We build sustainable solutions to actual problems - all AM, no FM.

  • Work on what fascinates you. We don't hire titles, we hire talent; our teams are free to work on the projects that make sense for their skillset.
  • No lies; no pretending. No egos. No bums on seats. No warm bodies. Only teams of skilled people making great things. Everyone is an engineer.
  • Work to live, from anywhere. We keep limited core hours and work async where possible, because what's the point of remote work if you're stuck at home?
