  • Production experience on AWS (e.g., EKS / ECS, Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, S3, RDS / Aurora or DynamoDB, ElastiCache / Redis) and Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform or CloudFormation); containerization with Docker / Kubernetes.
  • Solid data and messaging skills : relational & NoSQL stores (PostgreSQL / MySQL, MongoDB / DynamoDB), caching (Redis), and streaming / queues (Kafka / MSK or RabbitMQ / Kinesis).
  • Reliability, performance, and security mindset : SLO / SLA design, observability (OpenTelemetry; logs / metrics / traces), secure design (OAuth2 / OIDC, secrets / KMS), and automated testing (JUnit, Test containers; contract / load testing).
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Professional working proficiency Bilingual Mandarin Chinese.
  • Platform domains : payments (e.g., Stripe / Adyen), identity & access (OAuth2 / OIDC, RBAC; Cognito / Okta / Keycloak), OTD orchestration, API gateway & rate-limiting.
  • Architecture & tooling : microservices patterns (sagas / outbox, resilience4j), service discovery / mesh (Nacos / Eureka / ZooKeeper; Istio / Linkerd), gRPC; Dubbo is a plus.
