It's our second attempt rolling out this program. But the motivation stays the same: Accelerating someone's current software development skillset.

Batch of 2022

Apprenticeship batch of 2022

The Apprentice program is a six-month earn-and-learn training experience for aspiring software developers to gain professional skills working on real projects. Participants receive mentorship, develop technical and professional capabilities, and learn state-of-the-art engineering practices through hands-on work.

Keep learning and growing. We started this team out of software practice advancement.

Culture

We build this company like we build a product. There are roadmaps for growth; there are phases; there are iterations. There might also be bugs, places where the company crashes because of bad organizational design, or cultural oversights.

Life at Dwarves

You will be working closely with a team of talented, kind people and working directly with our clients. There is a lot of freedom to contribute to the quality of the project and improve, or prove yourself

Growth Lead

Since most Dwarves Foundation employees work in Saigon, this section is written with that as the default. Some benefits don't make sense in other countries. We will try our best to provide comparable benefits and perks as it makes sense, though...

Benefits & perks

You will always grow by learning and playing with new and cool technologies. From books to conferences, you’ll get a yearly budget for your learning and development goals.

Continuing education allowance

A consistent on leave process prevents a company from being accidentally disrupted when an employee request to be absent.

Leave request

Submit a leave request

Sometimes the situation calls for realtime payment. Team lunch, device purchase, house cleaning, monthly drinking water. Normally, we pay it forward and claim those expense later. The reimbursement will be included in your payroll of that month.

Reimbursement

If you’re doing creative work, research suggests you’ll want to be surrounded by ambient noise. A café or co-working space is the perfect choice in this case. If you need to focus on a specific task, however, you’re going to want silence as [quiet spaces help us focus on straightforward tasks.

Places to work

How we empower innovation through software craftsmanship and build products that matter

What we stand for

Our core values guide our strategies and individual actions so that we create a company whose character is as radical as our work.

What we value

The Dwarves HQ is in Saigon, Vietnam. Fifty-ish people and two cats have desk space in the Saigon office, but those people also work from home regularly. We expand the office space when the old one is full and people want the new office. Anyone is welcome to visit Saigon and work from the office at any time.

Where we work

Our path with Basecamp didn't cross by accident. Years ago, we embarked on the Slack community and had it applied for internal communication. And project management on another tool, where documents & files are in G-suite.

Adjust The Way We Work In Basecamp Style

Hire people who tell us what to do, not the other way around.

Hiring approach

Operations is a very sensitive area of the company, so be very picky. A great ops person can dramatically improve the way your company works and make your life a lot easier.

Hiring for Operations team

Being office-present keeps you effective. Firms lean on that. It explains why companies are down to invest a fortune on building creative office with other benefit packages. There's nothing wrong about that. I'm just saying there are others ways to keep people.
