Having professional experience is not mandatory to apply for a SE position at OL Vietnam. Fresh graduate are welcome as long as they are passionate, have a good head for problem solving and a good background in software engineering and OOP (having completed interesting personal projects or won awards also helps)

OL Vietnam is from OL global company with headquarters in Irvine, California and English is our primary language for communication. Specifically, software engineers are required to read and produce documentation in english and interact in english with foreign team members (France, US...). Hence, proficiency with english (both verbal and written) is required

Having experience in .NET (our main language) will surely help, but it is not mandatory. We just require proficiency in one backend language (.NET, Java, Python, JS…) and an open mind to learn what you don’t know (yet)

We are looking for software engineers who have a passion for technology and are seeking opportunities to challenge themselves technically and develop their skills, especially in the software architecture field. As for personal traits, we particularly appreciate humbleness, resilience and thoroughness which are essential when you pursue a long term vision. Last but not least, we’re looking to hire people who care—about our customers, about our product, and about each other.

As part of our recruitment process, candidates complete a coding challenge to validate they have the minimum coding skills required for the SE position. After talking with a recruiter, you will receive an invitation to complete it online. The challenge takes ~ 120 minutes and requires you to solve 3 programming problems (algorithms) with the language of your choice. Candidates to other positions (QA, Product...) may be asked to complete a case study

Each step of the process is an opportunity to learn about each other and to confirm the match. It also guarantees that when you join us you will be joining a team of passionate, competent and driven people. Regardless of final result, candidates usually enjoy the process and collect useful insights for their career

Newly hired software engineers dedicate their first 3-4 weeks to complete an initial self-guided training about our technical environment, product and processes. We also team them up with a “buddy”, a more senior team member who volunteered to answer questions and guide newcomers.  But the learning doesn't stop here: Cortex is a huge product that you will discover gradually by completing assignments and joining knowledge sharing sessions

The engineering teams are developing the company core product named Cortex. It is a web application designed to manage large-scale media libraries (photos, videos, files and documents). Engineer's time is shared between the development of new features (we call them enhancements), product stabilization and providing technical support to others teams based in France & US. Watch our videos to learn more about the daily work of a software engineer

Once the initial training is cleared, and depending on their strengths, interests and staffing needs,  new developers are invited to join one of our existing teams (3 to 5 engineers working closely with a technical leader). Team members are strongly encouraged to raise questions,  make suggestions and are given a high level of autonomy to complete their work. Over time and as they complete assignments, teams and engineers naturally develops expertise in some product modules that they fully own

New functionalities are shipped to our clients in packaged releases (3 to 4 times per year). Each release starts with a phase of requirements and prioritization, followed by UXUI design and implementation & tests. For development, we follow an iterative process inspired by SCRUM with sprints and demos

It seems counterintuitive but the biggest challenge with software creation is not mastering programming languages: Ability to grasp complex problems and architect solutions to solve them is far more valuable and difficult to gain.  Our engineers  are exposed to technical challenges that allow them to develop solid problem solving skills that sets careers on fast track anywhere. And they also learn precious soft skills such as efficient time management

Check our videos in the team section to learn what our engineers think about that

Our office in Vietnam was founded in 2017 as a test to expand our engineering teams. 3 years later, the test is definitely passed and today Vietnam plays an essential role in the company development, as most of the software production happens here. For the coming months (and years), we will keep growing  the Vietnamese office while maintaining our high standard for recruitment

Culture is very hard to describe in words. Check our videos to learn what our team says about it!

We organize team activities monthly (karting, dining-out, bowling, pizza day...) And every year, we all go together on a trip to a foreign destination: Taiwan in 2018, Thailand in 2019 and Phu Quoc in 2020

We don’t offer placement on clients sites at the moment. Team members may travel to other locations to complete assignments and meet with other teams (but usually Vietnam is the welcoming office ;)

We are a product company pursuing a long term vision which gives us relative control and flexibility over our deadlines. We don’t encourage overtime (and don’t have a policy to support it) and rely on proper planning and anticipation to prevent last minutes rushes

The OL academy is a program we launched in 2020 to welcome software engineering students so they can earn professional experience working on real projects, complete their education with specific (and practical) trainings delivered by senior engineers and discover the business of a software editor. Internships last ~ 3 months and are paid. Keep in touch to know the next enrollment date

Our external referral allows any individual (like you) to be financially rewarded when they introduce a successful candidate for employment. Contact us to know more about the conditions. We also have an internal referral program for our employees so they can refer their friends (but you will have to join our team first to benefit from it)
