About this Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE/DevOps) role at Qode
Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE/DevOps)
Location: Vietnam
Workplace Type: Remote
About the Role
We are hiring on behalf of our client, a growing technology company, for a Senior Site Reliability Engineer to help shape their infrastructure strategy, design resilient cloud architectures, and ensure their platforms are secure, scalable, and high-performing. This role is critical to bringing AI systems into production with reliable delivery, strong observability, and operational excellence.
Our client is specifically looking for someone with a genuine SRE mindset - not a traditional DevOps background. Candidates should have hands-on experience optimizing systems for reliability and building zero-downtime production systems, not just automating deployments.
Responsibilities
- Design and operate secure, scalable, high-quality infrastructure supporting modern applications and AI workloads.
- Build and maintain robust automation across CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure provisioning, and operational processes to improve reliability and minimize manual effort.
- Integrate AI-driven solutions into operational workflows to enhance efficiency, detect anomalies, and accelerate delivery.
- Apply strong systems engineering practices: monitoring, incident management, performance optimization, and capacity planning.
- Establish and uphold SRE/DevOps best practices, including reproducibility, testing, documentation, and operational excellence.
- Communicate technical decisions clearly and collaborate cross-functionally to support predictable delivery.
- Provide mentorship and technical leadership, raising the bar on platform engineering and DevOps maturity across the organization.
Requirements
Must-Have
- 6+ years of progressive experience in Site Reliability Engineering, Platform Engineering, or Infrastructure Engineering (SRE background strongly preferred over traditional DevOps).
- Proven track record designing, building, and operating highly reliable, zero-downtime production systems, using patterns such as Blue/Green, Canary, progressive delivery, or Preview Environments.
- Deep, hands-on expertise in Kubernetes (or equivalent container orchestration) running in production.
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, or CloudFormation).
- Solid experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure), including networking, compute, storage, and security.
- Experience building CI/CD pipelines from the ground up (not just using pre-built templates).
- Practical experience with modern observability stacks (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog).
- Some hands-on experience supporting or deploying AI/ML workloads (model inference, vector databases, or GPU workloads).
- Strong background in platform security: secrets management, IAM, and runtime/security hardening.
- Excellent communication skills, with a proven ability to explain complex infrastructure decisions and mentor other engineers.
Nice-to-Have
- Experience with GitOps practices (ArgoCD, Flux).
- True multi-cloud experience across AWS/GCP/Azure.
- Experience with Multi-Cloud API Gateways and Edge Routing.
- Experience building Self-Service Developer Platforms.
- Familiarity with Node.js, NestJS, or Python for extending DevOps tooling.
- Experience collaborating with QA/IT/ISRM teams on vulnerability remediation and incident investigation.
Benefits
- Attractive salary range and open to negotiate for strong fits.
- Hybrid/Remote-friendly culture. Work where you grow best!
- Flexible hours, async teamwork. Focus time is respected.
- Work equipment support.
- Allowance for certification & skill development.
- Year-end bonus & performance-based rewards.
- 22 paid leaves from your 5th year. Take a full month off.
- Career growth with personal coaching sessions.
- Open, collaborative team culture. No micromanagement, only trust.
- Tools & AI-powered workflows that make remote work easier.
