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.

- 🏅 Focus on results. We judge the work, not the hours.
- ⏰ Time off when you need it. No tracking, just keep your crew posted.
- 🌎 Work where you're strongest. HCMC, Da Nang, Hanoi, or a quiet forest somewhere.
- 🌿 Health support. Yearly Bao Minh insurance package.
- 🤝 A stake in the hall. Shares based on what you bring to the table.
- ✔️ Extra bucks. A 13th-month paycheck, every year.

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.
Tools for all. Open-source projects like Hidden Bar and Blurred are our gifts to the community (see more at d.foundation/opensource).
Knowledge shared freely. We're deep into Blockchain, AI, and more. Join the chat on Discord or explore Brainery.
Roots in the community. We power Golang Vietnam, WeBuild and projects like Techie Story.

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.
