Job Description

We are seeking a mid-to-senior level Backend Software Engineer to join our Vehicle Manager Cloud team in Ho Chi Minh City. In this role, you will be a key contributor to our Modern Event Processing Platform, focusing on high-performance data ingestion, horizontal scalability, and cloud-native architecture. You will design and implement services that handle large-scale data processing pipelines and integrate AI-driven insights into our core products.

Responsibilities include:

• Design and implement high-performance backend microservices within a modern cloud-native architecture.

• Directly collaborate with US-based engineering teams on a daily basis, contributing to global product roadmaps and architectural decisions.

• Develop cloud-native event processing systems that ensure low-latency data flow and high availability.

• Optimize data streaming and ingestion using technologies like Kafka or Azure Event Hubs to process high volumes of real-time events.

• Architect high-performance data solutions utilizing Redis for caching and SQL Server or Postgres for relational data management.

• Integrate AI-driven services to enhance raw data with advanced attributes and intelligence.

• Deploy and manage containerized services using Kubernetes (K8s) and Docker to maintain a stateless and scalable environment.

• Leverage AI-assisted engineering tools (such as GitHub Copilot or Cursor) to accelerate development, debugging, and code quality.

​

Preferred Skills:

• Experience leveraging AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor) for engineering and testing.

• Strong commitment to code quality with experience in high unit test coverage and TDD.
