Join the Dwarves

We're forging a band of craftspeople to shape the future: one well-crafted line of code, design, or idea at a time. Think of it like building a sturdy longhouse; it starts with skilled hands, a clear purpose, and a team that thrives together. If you're ready to wield your talents and join our woodland crew, here's what you need to know.

Why we're here

We believe the future isn't stumbled upon, it's built, piece by piece, with care and grit. Software's changing the world, and we're here to make sure it's done right. Our purpose? To craft innovative tools, solve real problems, and leave things better than we found them. Since 2013, our 50+ strong team has been hammering away at that vision, and we'd love for you to grab a hammer too.

Here's the heart of it: we're looking for folks who live for tech, ship quality work fast, and bring a bit of kindness to the table. Sound like you? Let's dig into the details.

Open roles at the forge

We've got spots open for engineers, designers, marketers, and learners ready to grow. Whether you're a seasoned smith or just sharpening your skills, there's a place for you in our woodland.

What you'll gain

We're not just about shipping great software; we want you to thrive while doing it. Joining the Dwarves means you're part of our greatest treasure: our people. Here's what we offer to keep your fire burning bright:

  • ๐Ÿ’ธ Fair pay. Your role, skills, and experience set the rate.
  • ๐Ÿ… Focus on results. We judge the work, not the hours.
  • โฐ Time off when you need it. No tracking, just keep your crew posted.
  • ๐ŸŒŽ Work where you're strongest. HCMC, Da Lat, Hanoi, or a quiet forest somewhere.
  • ๐ŸŒฟ Health support. Yearly Bao Minh insurance package.
  • ๐Ÿค A stake in the hall. Shares based on what you bring to the table.
  • โœ”๏ธ Extra bucks. A 13th-month paycheck, every year.
  • ๐Ÿซ‚ Bonuses for big wins. Projects, R&D, referralsโ€”we celebrate it all.
  • ๐Ÿ“– Learning fuel. Yearly budget for books, courses, whatever sharpens your axe.
  • ๐Ÿ”† Shared bounty. Profit-sharing based on your time with us.

No one's hovering over your shoulder here. We trust you to craft great stuff, and we measure success by what you build, not how long you sit at the workbench.

What we craft together

Our days are filled with meaningful work that echoes through the tech world. Here's a glimpse:

Software that lasts. We've worked for Setel, Momos, and Chotot, helping them grow strong.

Who we seek

We're a fast-moving clan with endless trails to blaze. We need Dwarves who:

  • Ship with speed. You tackle challenges and deliver, no dawdling.
  • Love the craft. New tech and tough problems light your fire.
  • Master their tools. You know your code (or designs) inside out and can explain it clear as day.
  • Strengthen the hall. Calm, kind, and ready to lead when it's time.

Our Manifesto dives deeper into why craftsmanship is our north star.

Tales from the woodland

Here's what some Dwarves say about life in our hall:

  • "Learning's woven into everything here. You'll grow in ways you didn't expect."
    • Thanh Pham, Engineering manager (LinkedIn)
  • "I moved to a client's team, and Dwarves cheered me on. It's about your path."
  • "Challenges are chances to level up. This place thrives on that."
    • Minh Luu, Full-stack engineer (LinkedIn)

How to step into the hall

Send us a message. Email team@d.foundation with:

  • Your skills, experience, and what role you're eyeing.
  • Links to your work (GitHub, portfolio, anything you've crafted).
  • A nod from someone who's seen you shine, if you've got it.

What happens next.

  • A 60-minute chat to swap tales: your skills, our vision.
  • A quick check to see if we're a fit for each other.
  • Two milestones: a paid probation review, then a six-month look-back.

No role catching your eye? Stick around on Discord; we'll holler when something opens up.

Building software is like crafting a fine axe; it takes skill, purpose, and a steady hand. At Dwarves, you'll wield all three alongside a crew that's got your back. Let's forge something great: reach out today.
