Software Engineering Company · Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam · Founded 2024
Software development,
built to last beyond
the handoff.
Linnoedge is a software engineering company built on one principle: delivery shouldn't depend on any single person. Development runs in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Project management is handled by our AI-augmented PM team (IT-Director) — structured, always visible, from kickoff through release and beyond. Our average engagement runs 24 months — a figure that includes client relationships carried over from before Linnoedge was incorporated in 2024 — the clearest evidence that delivery isn't where we stop.
Who We Are
Mission, Vision & Philosophy
Three principles that define why we exist and how we work.
Create a world where anyone, from anywhere, can achieve outstanding results with the right team.
The highest creativity is building something that works — no matter who's doing it.
"Built it together" is the strongest trust you can build with a client.
"The highest creativity is building something that works —no matter who's doing it."
What We Do
Software Development Services
We handle the full software development lifecycle — from design and build through QA, deployment, and ongoing maintenance.
System Development
Web applications, internal tools, APIs, and data pipelines. Built to spec, documented to hand off — so your team can own what we deliver.
AI Integration
Embedding AI into existing workflows — LLM APIs, automation pipelines, intelligent data processing. Practical and production-ready, not experimental.
Project Management
Project management runs through our AI-augmented PM team (IT-Director) — using structured processes across every sprint. Status is always visible. "Where are we?" always gets an honest answer.
Quality Assurance
A dedicated QA phase before anything touches production. Test plans in writing. Regression checks built into every release cycle.
Ongoing Maintenance
Monthly retainers for system monitoring, updates, and continued development. We stay accountable through release and beyond — not just at handoff.
How We Work
Company Values
Reliable Communication
"Sort of understood" is where projects break. We put the actual goal into words before we start — what we decided, why we decided it, what we assumed. If we can't answer right away, we say when we will. That's all it takes to keep trust intact.
Growth with Pride
Every person on the team should be able to answer: what's expected of me, and where am I going? We make the path visible. Knowledge is shared — because one person's growth becomes the whole team's growth.
Win with Systems
When one person has to be the hero to save a project, the system isn't strong enough yet. We convert people-dependent processes into documented, repeatable ones — through structure, AI tools, and accountability frameworks. Delivery becomes reliable because the system makes it reliable, not because someone works heroic hours.
Borderless Thinking
Different nationalities and cultures — one team. We don't stop at "that's how it's done here." The difference in perspective is what lets us see things others miss. Country and language are context, not constraints.
Freedom and Responsibility
Where and when you work is yours to decide. What you committed to deliver is not optional. Freedom only works when there is trust behind it — and trust only works when people own their outcomes.
Honest Positioning
We're probably not the right fit if…
We turn down projects that aren't a good match. Not as a filter — as honest practice. Better to say it here than find out mid-build.
Cost is the only criterion
Our engineer rates run roughly half of Tokyo rates, and the realistic total-cost saving is about 35% once overhead is included — that's real. But if the only goal is the lowest possible quote, the match won't hold. We optimize for outcome, not just price.
Offshore means lower priority
Our team is in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. If that means "less important" in how you'd treat the relationship, we're not the right partner. Respect is not negotiable across offices.
Specs must be locked from day one
We work best with clients who treat the first milestone as a hypothesis and stay engaged through the build. Fully fixed specs with no revision process usually means surprises at delivery.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SYSTEM
The Linnoedge team
Ho Chi Minh City. Twenty-five people, different roles, one delivery standard.
FAQ
Common Questions
Q01What kind of companies do you work with?
Primarily Japanese companies building or maintaining web applications, internal systems, or AI-integrated products. Company size ranges from 20-person teams to 300-person organizations. What they have in common: they want a development partner who stays involved past release, not someone who delivers code and disappears.
Q02How is project management handled across time zones?
Project management is handled by our PM team in English and Japanese. Ho Chi Minh City runs 2 hours behind Japan — overlap hours work well for daily standups and reviews. In-person meetings in Tokyo are possible with advance notice. Written status is always available; you won't need to ask where things stand.
Q03Where is the development team located?
Development is in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Project management is handled by our PM team. In-person meetings in Tokyo are possible with advance notice. Our engineer rates run roughly half of an equivalent Tokyo team, and once ramp-up and communication overhead are included the realistic total-cost saving is about 35% — and the PM stays accountable through release and beyond, not just at handoff.
Q04What does pricing look like?
System development starts from ¥400,000/month (~$2,600 USD) per engineer. AI consulting and integration projects vary by scope, with a minimum of US$5,000 per project — a per-project floor, separate from the monthly per-engineer rate. This floor covers AI integration and development; our separately bookable training sessions are priced on their own and are not subject to it. The free session is where we figure out a realistic team structure and rough estimate for your specific situation.
Q05What happens when something goes wrong mid-project?
We've been in that room. "Where are you on this?" gets an honest answer, not a delay and a polished status update. We document what happened, show you what we're doing about it, and stay until it's resolved. Three concrete things that make this more than a promise: milestone plan in writing before we start, QA checkpoint before anything touches production, and ongoing monitoring available from month one after release.
Q06How do we get started?
Book a free 30-minute session, or send a message through the contact form. The first conversation is a direct exchange — no deck, no pitch. We talk about your situation, figure out if we're the right fit, and if we are, we outline a realistic scope and timeline together.
