Careers
Build software that real businesses run on
Whale Task is a Chiang Mai software house behind ERP systems, mobile apps, and data platforms like WhaleScope. We hire for craft and ownership — people who want to see their work used, not shelved.
How we treat people
No time clock, and a few other things we do differently
Most of these exist because someone here disliked the alternative at a previous job. They are how we work, not perks we advertise and quietly ignore.
No clock-in, no clock-out
We don't track attendance. We look at what you shipped and whether the team could rely on you — not what time you appeared.
Hours that fit your life
Start early or start late. What matters is a few overlapping hours with the team and telling people when you'll be away.
Growth you can see
A written path with the skills each level expects, reviewed twice a year — so promotion is a checklist, not a favour.
Budget to keep learning
Courses, books, and conference tickets are on us when they connect to work you're doing or about to do.
Paid for skill, reviewed openly
Salary is tied to the level you're at, and we tell you exactly what the next level needs before you ask.
Pick your own machine
Choose the laptop and screens you work fastest on. Slow tools cost far more than they save.
Social security and real leave
Full statutory cover plus leave you're expected to actually take — including when you're sick, without proving it.
Hybrid, for everyone
The whole team is hybrid — office days for the work that goes better face to face, home days for deep focus. Nobody asks permission.
Your hours are yours to arrange
Nobody counts the minutes you spend at a desk. Work from the office, from home, or from a café on Nimman — as long as the team knows where you are and the work lands when you said it would.
Career path
Four levels, written down before you join
Growth here is not a vague promise. Each level says what you own and what moves you to the next one, and we review it with you twice a year.
- 01
Junior
What you own
You own well-defined tasks end to end, with a senior reviewing your work closely.
Moves up when your work ships without rework
- 02
Mid-level
What you own
You own a whole feature — its design, its edge cases, and what happens after release.
Moves up when others start asking for your review
- 03
Senior
What you own
You own a system and the people learning it — you shape decisions and make teammates better.
Moves up when your judgement changes what we build
- 04
Lead
What you own
You own outcomes across projects — the client relationship, the architecture, and the team's direction.
Where technical depth and business judgement meet
Seniors who teach, not just review
Small teams only work when knowledge moves. Every project pairs people at different levels deliberately, so the person learning has someone to ask and the person teaching sharpens their own thinking.
Internships
Trainees are paid, and treated like the team
We take students and career-changers every intake. If you are still studying, this is the part worth reading — an internship here is a paid job with a mentor, not free labour dressed up as experience.
Apply as a traineePaid, every month
Our internships carry a monthly allowance. We don't ask anyone to work for exposure.
Same benefits as the team
Equipment, the learning budget, hybrid days, and leave work the same way for trainees as for everyone else.
Real work, with a mentor
You are assigned a mentor and real tickets on a live project — not filing, and not a throwaway practice task.
A route to a full-time seat
Trainees who fit are offered a junior seat first, entering the same career path on day one.
How we work
Ship real products
Everything we build serves real businesses — ERP, apps, and data platforms in daily production use.
Small team, full ownership
You see the whole picture — talk to customers, design the system, ship it, and watch it get used.
Modern stack, no legacy drag
Next.js, Go, Flutter, and Google Cloud — we choose tools for speed and quality, and keep improving them.
Chiang Mai based, hybrid by default
A Chiang Mai team that values focus, craft, and a sustainable pace — splitting the week between office and home.
