About The Team

The Service Stability Engineering Team envisions service stability as one of the core competitive strengths of the company's products. By building end-to-end, link-level risk management capabilities, the team aims to achieve sustainable automatic identification and analysis of stability risks, transforming from "reactive governance" to "proactive governance." This approach shifts more stability-related matters forward and addresses them early, preventing issues before they arise and enhancing user experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Oversee non-functional aspects of relevant business lines, closely collaborate with business units to ensure service stability.
  • Based on data analysis, identify stability risks throughout the entire chain, detect unreasonable architectural designs in advance, uncover root causes of issues, and systematically address problems;
  • Explore new technologies, tools, and architectural patterns, and promote the implementation of best practices in application architecture.

What We Look For In You

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or a related field, with over 7 years of experience in development and architecture.
  • Proficiency in Java, hands-on experience with the Spring Cloud microservices technology stack, solid computer science fundamentals, and a grasp of Linux, storage, and network I/O principles.
  • Possess experience in high-concurrency distributed system architecture or high-concurrency scenario component design and development, with an understanding of Java concurrency libraries.
  • Understanding of core Middleware technologies like Nginx, Redis, ElasticSearch, Kafka, MySQL, Docker and Kubernetes.
  • In-depth understanding of the business architecture currently managed, along with a strong methodology for architectural design.
  • Capable of rationalizing architectural designs for new business lines and providing targeted optimization suggestions.

Nice-To-Haves

  • Proficiency in speaking, reading and writing in both English and Mandarin to collaborate effectively with global and cross-functional team members.

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive total compensation package
  • L&D programs and Education subsidy for employees' growth and development
  • Various team building programs and company events
  • Wellness and meal allowances
  • Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependents
  • More that we love to tell you along the process!
