We are looking for Senior Software Engineers to build and operate the data platform behind VinFast’s ADAS and autonomous driving programme — the system our AI, testing and fleet teams use every day to find, version and consume driving data.
This is a fullstack role. You will work across backend services, data storage and the web applications on top of them. We do not divide the team into narrow specialists: every engineer is expected to own a feature end to end, from the database to the screen, and to grow across the whole platform over time. Work is assigned according to what the programme needs at that moment, not by a fixed job boundary — so we are looking for people who want breadth, not a single lane.
Tech stack: Python for backend and data services, TypeScript with React for the frontend, PostgreSQL, object storage, Docker and Kubernetes.
What the Platform Covers
- You will contribute across all of the following over time. We do not expect one person to master every part on day one, but we do expect you to be willing to work in any of them.
- Data catalog, metadata and search over large volumes of recorded data
- Dataset versioning and delivery of data to compute environments
- Internal web applications used daily by engineering and operations teams
- Dashboards and reporting on progress, quality and cost
Key Responsibilities
Backend & Data
- Design, build and operate backend services and APIs that serve data to internal engineering teams
- Model and manage large volumes of data: storage, indexing, versioning and lifecycle
- Ensure the performance, reliability and observability of the services you own
Web Applications
- Build internal web applications used daily by engineering and operations teams
- Develop dashboards and reporting views that make progress, quality and cost visible
- Design interfaces that non-technical users can operate without training
Engineering Practice
- Own features end to end — design, implementation, deployment and operation
- Write API specifications and documentation so other teams can self-serve
- Review code, set technical standards, and mentor less experienced engineers
- Work directly with AI, testing and operations teams to turn their needs into platform capabilities
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional software engineering with production ownership — you have operated what you built, not only shipped it
- Strong Python for backend and data services
- Solid experience with PostgreSQL, REST API design and object storage
- Comfortable with Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD
- Experience building systems that handle large data volumes
- Farmiliar TypeScript and React for frontend work
- Willingness to work fullstack rather than within a single specialty, and to move between areas as priorities change
- Good communication in English — technical documentation and working with international partners
Nice to Have
- Experience with data catalog, metadata management or data versioning
- Experience with workflow orchestration (Airflow or similar)
- Experience building internal tools used by operations teams
- Background in autonomous driving, robotics or another sensor-heavy domain
- Experience mentoring engineers or leading a small technical area
Benefits
- Competitive salary
Premium healthcare package, including PVI insurance & annual health check-ups - 13th-month salary & performance bonuses to reward your contributions
- Enjoy preferential pricing for services within the Vingroup ecosystem including Vinmec, Vinpearl, and Vinschool...
- Opportunity to collaborate with and learn from industry-leading professionals in the automotive domain
