How Airtasker Scaled Their Engineering Team with Global Talent

How Airtasker built a high-performing remote engineering team in Vietnam through a trusted, people-first partnership.

“The main difference with Sharesource is that they really care. They took the time to understand not just the technical skills we needed, but what a good culture fit looked like.”

About the Partner: Airtasker

Airtasker is one of Australia’s most iconic household brands, connecting people who need tasks done with skilled individuals who can complete them. With a strong focus on product innovation and engineering excellence, Airtasker continues to scale its technology teams to support global growth.

Challenges Encountered

As Airtasker continued to grow, the team needed to scale its engineering capability beyond Australia. However, finding highly skilled engineers locally became increasingly challenging due to talent shortages and growing competition.

The team needed a way to expand quickly while maintaining quality, strong collaboration, and alignment with their engineering culture. There were also initial considerations around time zone differences and ensuring seamless communication across global teams.

Innovative Solutions

Sharesource partnered with Airtasker to build a dedicated remote engineering team in Hanoi, Vietnam. Together, we successfully hired 10 high-quality Software Engineers to support Airtasker’s product development at scale.

Our approach focused on more than just hiring:

  • Understanding the right fit: aligning on both technical requirements and cultural fit
  • Targeted recruitment: sourcing top-tier engineering talent in Vietnam
  • Rigorous screening: ensuring candidates met high technical and communication standards
  • Structured onboarding: enabling smooth integration into Airtasker’s workflows
  • Ongoing support: providing continuous guidance, coaching, and engagement

This ensured Airtasker could build a team that was not only technically strong, but also aligned with their values and ways of working.
