Hire Kotlin Developers in Vietnam | Save Up to 70% on Staffing Costs

Kotlin Developers are essential for modern mobile and server-side development. Kotlin, Google’s preferred language for Android apps, offers concise syntax, interoperability with Java, and faster development cycles. Beyond mobile apps, Kotlin is increasingly used for back-end development and cross-platform frameworks like Ktor and Kotlin Multiplatform. Without skilled Kotlin Developers, businesses risk inefficient development, higher costs, and less competitive applications. However, hiring experienced Kotlin talent locally can be costly and highly competitive.
Vietnam offers a strong pool of Kotlin Developers with expertise in Android, back-end, and cross-platform app development. THIENTU BPO helps companies build dedicated offshore Kotlin teams in Vietnam—scalable, affordable, and fully integrated into your product lifecycle.
