Cipher Projects helps small and medium business owners adopt AI with custom builds of automations and software. A written scope and a price come before anyone builds. A month-to-month offshore developer starts at USD $5,500 if they want one. Headquarters are in Canberra. Engineers are in Australia and Vietnam. Clients are worldwide, with a deep focus in Australia and Singapore.
Quick facts
What we build
Four engineering capabilities, one delivery model.
AI Engineering
Production AI products and agents — LLM apps, RAG, evals, private AI, inference and MLOps — designed to ship and operate in real environments.
Cloud & Platform Engineering
AWS architecture, migration, serverless and containers, cost and reliability, plus platform engineering (CI/CD, IaC, developer platforms) so teams can ship safely at scale.
Software & Security Engineering
Product MVPs, APIs and modern web systems, with security engineered in — IAM, secrets, detection and secure delivery. Compliance readiness is a leaf: we prepare environments for external assessors; we are not the assessor.
Dedicated Engineering Teams
A delivery model, not the product. After architecture, AI or product work begins, we embed fully-managed senior engineers into your roadmap — typically within 14 days when capacity is available.
