Vietnam

Feeny is tracking about 292 open tech roles in Vietnam, from roughly 49 companies hiring. Each one comes from a company's own careers page, so a listing means a role that's live rather than a repost. The work splits mostly between Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi. Filter by city or discipline to narrow the set.

Ho Chi Minh City leads as the commercial and tech center, and it's where most of the openings sit. Hanoi is the clear second hub, with its own base of engineering and product work. Between the two, the country's tech activity is fairly concentrated. Across the 2 Vietnam cities we index, these two carry the bulk of the roles.

Vietnam is one of Asia's fastest-growing tech economies, with real strength in gaming, fintech, and software outsourcing. A young, digital-native population feeds a steady pipeline of engineering talent that companies are hiring against. That gives the market a mix of homegrown product firms and outsourcing shops working for clients abroad. Feeny lists roles from about 49 companies, so the current openings are worth a direct look.

Gaming is a standout category, with a strong local studio scene producing games and the backends behind them. Fintech and e-commerce are close behind, riding a fast-digitizing consumer base. Software outsourcing remains a large employer, with teams building and maintaining products for companies overseas. The common thread is a young workforce doing a lot of both product and services work.

Vietnam is growing fast, and Ho Chi Minh City in particular has the energy of a market on the rise, with a young and ambitious engineering base. Cost of living is low, which stretches a salary a long way. The scene leans toward gaming, fintech, and outsourcing rather than frontier research, so expectations should match that. The honest trade is momentum and affordability against a market that's still maturing.

You'll need a work permit paired with a business visa, both sponsored by a specific employer. In practice the market hires mostly from its large and growing local talent pool, so foreign relocation is less common. Where it does happen, it tends to be for senior roles or positions at multinationals rather than junior hires. Be honest that this is primarily a local-hire market, and plan accordingly.
