A small, opinionated, deeply technical company.
Filix Pty Ltd is an Australian legacy-modernisation consultancy headquartered in Coffs Harbour, New South Wales. We build the Cobra Modernisation Platform — a real COBOL runtime, a metadata server, and an opinionated AI methodology — for organisations that need a credible path off the mainframe.
Who we are
Filix is led by engineers who have spent their careers in and around the COBOL systems the rest of the industry now wants to modernise. We bring decades of accumulated experience to a fresh platform and a fresh methodology — both designed for the way the work is actually done in 2026.
What we believe
Generic AI-and-COBOL pitches collapse on contact with a real mainframe. The work is not about replacing the runtime; it is about preserving the institutional knowledge embedded in millions of lines of code, in a form that survives the retirement of the people who wrote it. Our methodology is the operating system for doing that safely.
We prefer compact teams to big ones, real runtimes to simulated ones, decisions written down to decisions in heads, and concrete claims to adjectival ones.
Where we are
HQ is in Coffs Harbour — a coastal town between Sydney and Brisbane on the New South Wales mid-north coast. The team is remote-friendly. Engineering happens wherever the engineer is.
