• Develop high-performance APIs (REST/gRPC) and service integrations across internal systems and platforms.
• Contribute to building core platform services, integration layers, and backend capabilities supporting multiple digital products.
• Optimize system performance including latency, throughput, concurrency, and scalability.
• Work closely with Product, Data, DevOps, and Frontend/Mobile teams to deliver reliable end-to-end solutions.
• Ensure system reliability through logging, monitoring, alerting, and distributed tracing.
• Participate in architecture discussions, system design reviews, and code reviews.
• Troubleshoot production issues and implement long-term system improvements through root cause analysis.
• Contribute to engineering best practices across CI/CD, automated testing, and deployment processes.

Your skills and experience

• Experience with event-driven architectures and messaging systems such as Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, Git workflows, and modern DevOps practices.
• Knowledge of observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or ELK/EFK.
• Strong understanding of concurrency, performance optimization, and scalable system design.

Nice to have

• Experience building large-scale digital platforms or enterprise systems.
• Knowledge of Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and clean architecture.
• Experience in retail, FMCG, supply chain, or digital commerce ecosystems.
• Experience integrating with data platforms, analytics systems, or customer platforms.

Why you’ll love working here

• Build large-scale digital platforms powering one of Vietnam’s largest retail and consumer ecosystems.
