Join The Software Mill — a bilingual Vietnamese–Australian engineering collective designing scalable cloud platforms, AI-driven products, and enterprise-grade systems.
Work across time zones with elite teams, ship fast, and shape technology used globally. Collaborate in English and Vietnamese, drive cross-border innovation, and accelerate your impact.
We combine Australian clarity, accountability, and design-first thinking with Vietnam's engineering excellence and operational velocity — creating a bilingual, borderless team that builds future-ready systems faster and smarter.
We collaborate in two time zones without friction: product managers, designers, and engineers from both countries deliver with transparency, speed, and clinical attention to quality and compliance.
Craftsmanship (engineered for scale), Empathy (client- and people-first), Curiosity (continuous learning), and Integrity (security by design).
Structured mentorship programs, regular exchange residencies, and shared learning labs let engineers rotate across Queensland and Ho Chi Minh City — fueling creativity and accelerating careers.
