Two ways we get you a team in Vietnam.
Hire with a safety net.
The commitments we put in writing on day one — before you sign anything.
5-day shortlist
An interview-ready shortlist within five business days — or we keep sourcing free.
30-day replacement
If a hire isn't the right fit in the first 30 days, we re-source a replacement at no cost.
Back-to-back IP assignment
Every engineer assigns IP to AppTuring, which assigns it onward to your US entity.
100% Labor-Code compliant
Employment through licensed local entities — zero misclassification exposure.
Senior engineers who've built at
scale — ready on day one.
Skip the overhead of training junior talent. Our engineers are seasoned product veterans from Vietnam's leading tech companies, seamlessly integrated into global architectures, and fully autonomous from Sprint 1.
Built by Visionaries. Proven at Scale.
Your product is built by the minds that scaled Vietnam's most critical infrastructures. We connect you with elite engineering leads who have architected billion-dollar payment networks, pioneered the country's first video KYC systems, and developed AI models compliant with ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 2. Proven on high-velocity OTT platforms and 20M+ user applications, our talent brings the strategic product mindset that junior ticket-pushers lack.
60%+ lower TCO
Salary, benefits, and management — less than half a comparable US engineer. Model it →

Answers before you ask.
The questions US engineering and legal teams ask us most.
An EOR is a company that legally employs workers on your behalf in a country where you have no entity. AppTuring hires the engineers in Vietnam through our licensed local entities, runs their payroll, taxes, and benefits, and handles full local compliance — while you direct their day-to-day work.
