About the role
You will turn architecture into working production paths: implement integrations, automate quality and operations, harden day-2 operability, and help grow internal engineering capacity. You will be a key technical counterpart to architects, security, and external partners throughout design, delivery, and run.
Your role
- Design, implement, and maintain platform foundations (integration layers, identity hooks, environments, automation)
- Improve reliability through CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code, monitoring, alerting, and operational runbooks
- Build reusable engineering assets (templates, test harnesses, smoke/E2E checks, quality gates) that reduce manual effort and create repeatable evidence of readiness
- Partner with architects and vendors to harden production paths, clarify acceptance standards, and improve day-2 operability
- Troubleshoot complex cross-component issues spanning applications, APIs, data services, and cloud infrastructure
- Contribute to secure-by-default engineering practices (secrets management, access control, auditability).
- Support environment readiness and production handover for platforms delivered with external partners.
- Coach junior engineers/interns and help grow internal engineering capacity.
Who you are
- Solid experience (typically 6+ years) in platform, backend, and cloud engineering
- Hands-on experience with China cloud providers is required
- Practical skills with cloud services, APIs, automation, and observability tooling
- Experience with identity/access integration and secure service-to-service communication
A production mindset
- quality gates, incident readiness, maintainability, and clear run documentation
- Strong debugging and collaboration skills with architects, security, and external partners
- Comfortable working in a global–local matrix; English and Mandarin required.

We believe that this variety drives excellence and innovation, strengthening our ability to lead in science and technology. We are committed to creating access and opportunities for all to develop and grow at your own pace.
