Why Jakarta is becoming Southeast Asia's engineering capital
Talent density, English proficiency, and a culture of ownership are making Indonesian developers the first choice for European scale-ups.

The talent explosion
Indonesia produces over 100,000 computer science graduates each year. Jakarta, as the country's tech hub, has become a magnet for the best of them. Companies like Gojek, Tokopedia, and Traveloka have created a world-class engineering culture that rivals Silicon Valley in ambition, if not in hype.
Why European companies are paying attention
The timezone overlap with Europe is better than India. English proficiency is rising fast. And the cultural emphasis on respect, diligence, and team harmony makes Indonesian developers exceptionally good at long-term client relationships. They don't just write code — they take ownership.
The Oneminded advantage
We've built our Jakarta office to attract and retain top talent. Competitive salaries, modern tooling, AI-assisted workflows, and meaningful projects for European clients. The result is a team that's motivated, skilled, and invested in every project they touch.
