Senior / DevOps Engineer

Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

Department: Technology Team

Workplace: hybrid

Employment Type: full

Description

Position Overview

As a Senior/ DevOps Engineer, you will scale, and secure our hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructure across AWS and private bare-metal/virtualized environments. In this role, you will champion an AI-first paradigm—integrating AI tooling into root-cause analysis, proactive observability, automated incident response, and continuous deployment workflows. You will partner closely with engineering teams to streamline delivery pipelines, drive zero-downtime reliability, and ensure our mission-critical custody platforms operate at peak performance and bank-grade security.

Duties & Responsibilities

• Architect, provision, and maintain multi-region AWS cloud environments alongside on-premises virtualized infrastructure using declarative Infrastructure-as-Code (Terragrunt).
• Manage, harden, and scale production-grade Kubernetes clusters, implementing advanced ingress controllers, service mesh, Helm/Kustomize packages, and GitOps pipelines (ArgoCD, Crossplane).
• Deploy, administrate, and maintain dedicated blockchain nodes (RPC, validator, archive, and sentry nodes across multiple Layer 1 and Layer 2 protocols), ensuring data synchronization, high availability, and network health.
• Enforce cloud and container security controls, including fine-grained Kubernetes network policies, IAM least-privilege models, secrets management, Kubernetes, linux and AWS security control and automated vulnerability scanning across delivery pipelines.
• Integrate AI and AIOps tooling into observability suites to deliver intelligent anomaly detection, automated log parsing, and rapid root-cause analysis.
• Performance tune microservices and cloud workloads to handle spikes in high-volume, low-latency financial transactions with high availability.

Requirements

• 6–10 years of experience in Linux/Unix systems engineering, cloud architecture, and modern DevOps/SRE practices.
• Kubernetes Mastery: Production-grade expertise deploying and managing Kubernetes clusters (EKS / bare-metal), Helm, Kustomize, service mesh, and GitOps tooling (ArgoCD).
• Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Deep hands-on experience using Terraform, Terragrunt, following modular, DRY configuration patterns.
• Programming & Automation: Able to understand at least one modern programming language with harness engineering skills.
• Cloud & Hybrid Compute: Extensive production experience in AWS, paired with practical exposure to on-prem virtualization platforms (e.g., Proxmox, VMware ESXi, or KVM).
• Deep Networking Knowledge: Strong grasp of OSI layer fundamentals (TCP/UDP, BGP, DNS, TLS/mTLS, HTTP/gRPC) and comfort debugging live traffic issues on the wire (tcpdump, Wireshark, eBPF).
• Databases & State: Operational familiarity with relational databases and middleware (PostgreSQL, MariaDB/MySQL, Mongodb, Redis, Kafka), including replication, failover strategies, and backup pipelines.
• Eligible to work in Vietnam.

Bonus Experience

• Hands-on experience in cybersecurity practices (e.g., threat modeling, penetration testing remediation, SOC 2/ISO 27001 compliance standards, or managing HSM/KMS cryptographic infrastructure).
• Direct experience running, securing, and maintaining blockchain nodes (e.g., Ethereum, Bitcoin, EVM/Cosmos-based chains, or Solana).
