Work routine

Aarrr Framework In A Nutshell

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

We organize our work in 8-week cycles with a focus on autonomy and craftsmanship. This framework helps us deliver high-quality software while maintaining flexibility and work-life balance.

How we work

Discover how Dwarves embraces hybrid working, blending flexibility with in-person connections. Learn how our office space fosters productivity, learning, and real collaboration, even if it’s just for a day or two a week.
