Build with us.
We're a small team that stays small on purpose — every hire changes the culture. If you care about the craft and want to work on real products with real stakes, we'd like to talk.
Working at Darse means working directly on client products as part of their team — in their messaging channels, their standups, their sprint planning. You’ll ship real features for real users, not build things that sit in a backlog.
We’re based in Lalitpur and work standard Nepal hours. Some client projects require occasional overlap with Singapore, European, or US time zones, but that’s the exception — not the default. All roles are remote. Engagements are long-term — most of our client partnerships run for years, so you’ll have the time to learn products deeply instead of context-switching every few weeks.
