DevOps Platform Eng​/SWE, Infra; Mandarin

Dev Ops Platform Engineer/SWE, Infrastructure (Mandarin Required)

Location:

• Palo Alto, California

• Fluent Mandarin Chinese and professional English are mandatory.
• Candidates must be able to conduct technical discussions and collaborate effectively in Mandarin with engineering teams in China, while also being comfortable operating professionally in English.

• Our client is a rapidly scaling global consumer internet platform serving hundreds of millions of users worldwide.
• The position is for a Platform / Dev Ops Engineer with strong software engineering and infrastructure fundamentals.
• The role focuses on building and scaling engineering platforms to support the company’s international expansion.
• This is not a traditional IT Dev Ops or pipeline maintenance role; instead, it involves working on large-scale engineering infrastructure, including CI/CD, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code, multi-region deployment, High Availability, and Disaster Recovery.
• You will help extend and evolve engineering platforms originally built at massive consumer-internet scale into global cloud and data-centre environments.

• Build and scale global Dev Ops and engineering platforms.
• Develop and improve CI/CD, release, and change‑management systems.
• Build Kubernetes and cloud‑native infrastructure platforms.
• Develop infrastructure automation and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) capabilities.
• Design deployment solutions across public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid environments.
• Build and improve multi‑region deployment infrastructure.
• Design High Availability, Disaster Recovery, and automated failover capabilities.
• Conduct resilience testing and Chaos Engineering.
• Troubleshoot complex production and infrastructure issues and drive Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
• Improve platform observability, reliability, and operational efficiency.
• The underlying platform spans networking, storage, Kubernetes, security, and compliance across different infrastructure environments.

• 3-7 years of experience in Platform Engineering, Dev Ops, SRE, or Cloud Infrastructure Engineering.
• Hands‑on experience building or operating large‑scale production infrastructure.
• Strong Linux, networking, and infrastructure fundamentals.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Kubernetes.
• Experience with Terraform, Helm, or other Infrastructure as Code technologies.
• Programming experience in Go, Java, Python, and/or Shell, with the ability to build automation tooling and debug backend services.
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform: AWS, GCP, Azure, or enterprise private cloud.
• Understanding of multi‑region deployment, networking, IAM, and security isolation.
• Familiarity with observability technologies such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Open Search, and Open Telemetry.
• Strong troubleshooting and production engineering capabilities.
• Ability to independently own and drive complex infrastructure initiatives.

• Engineers who have built or operated internal engineering platforms at large‑scale technology or consumer internet companies, especially in:
• Platform Engineering / Developer Infrastructure
• Dev Ops Platforms
• CI/CD and Release Engineering
• Kubernetes Platforms
• Cloud Infrastructure
• Infrastructure Automation
• Site Reliability Engineering
• Global Infrastructure Deployment
• High Availability / Disaster Recovery

• Experience with international infrastructure deployment, Disaster Recovery, Chaos Engineering, capacity planning, large‑scale incident management, or regional infrastructure/data‑residency requirements.

• Opportunity to work on engineering infrastructure at genuine consumer‑internet scale.
• Solve the additional complexity of taking mature internal platforms global.
• Work across software engineering, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, distributed deployment, and HA/DR, rather than being limited to traditional Dev Ops operations.
