AI/ML Engineer hiring in Vietnam is being driven by domestic tech champions such as VinAI Research and Sky Mavis scaling AI product teams in Ho Chi Minh City, alongside Japanese and South Korean firms opening AI-focused delivery centers to tap Vietnam's deep engineering talent pool at a fraction of Tokyo or Seoul cost. FPT Software's push into AI services and VinAI Research's continued expansion have both added senior openings through 2025 into 2026, and Vietnam's growing reputation as a nearshore AI engineering hub for Japan and South Korea is pulling in roles that would previously have gone to India or the Philippines.

What percentage of AI/ML Engineer roles in New Zealand offer remote work?
Around 58% of active New Zealand listings advertise some remote or hybrid flexibility, though model-building and data-pipeline work is largely asynchronous and tool-driven, and New Zealand's small local talent pool means employers routinely hire remote specialists across the country or accept candidates returning from OE (Overseas Experience) in the UK or Australia.
