The Job

About the job

BE is Vietnam's home-grown ride-hailing and super-app, serving millions of riders and drivers every day. We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer to own the architecture of the systems at the core of our marketplace — and to set the technical bar for how we build them.

This is a deeply hands-on role with broad technical leadership scope. You'll define long-term technical direction across squads, make the hard architectural calls, and stay hands-on in the code — that's a must here, not a nice-to-have.

Our tech stack

• Hundreds of Golang microservices in a domain-oriented, event-driven architecture, running on GCP, GKE, and Istio with autoscaling, resiliency, a chaos-engineering mindset, and full end-to-end observability.
• Mobile on Flutter (component-based, composable). Web on TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind, with an in-house composable design system.
• A real DevOps culture: you design, build, and operate your own services, with SRE and Platform support when you need it.
• Open-source lovers and contributors — our tooling is built in-house on top of the best of open source.

The platform you'll architect

You'll own the architecture of the systems at the core of the BE marketplace — dispatch, dynamic pricing and surge, the promotion and incentive engine, and the experimentation / A/B platform. These are among the highest-leverage, hardest real-time problems in the company. If these are the problems you want to spend the next few years on, this is the seat.

Your impact

• You work with engineering leadership and Other staff engineers to define the long-term technical vision for this domain together, and align the squads around durable, business-driven solutions.
• You own the architecture and technical strategy, and you bring deep domain expertise and real business sense to shape roadmap priorities and investment decisions across teams.
• You advise technical leaders on technical strategy for the org, balancing engineering and business priorities to land On the right long-term bets.

What you'll do

• Set a high technical bar across the group through deep technical insight, architecture and design reviews, and the standards you hold for code quality and system design.
• Review and evolve the dispatch, pricing, promotion, and experimentation systems — making pragmatic, high-impact improvements to availability, performance, and security, rather than rebuilding for its own sake.
• Work across Product, Design, and Engineering to solve BE's hardest technical challenges for our riders and drivers.
• Drive quality, operational readiness, and engineering excellence across squads, and define the governance and review protocols for major technical decisions.
• Plan and run load, stress, and chaos testing to validate reliability and scalability before our users find the limits for us.
• Partner with Product to ship features with a data-driven approach, and measure impact through our A/B and experimentation platform

Your Skills and Experience

• 8+ years in software engineering, with a track record of driving technical direction that spans multiple teams and/or services.
• Proven experience building and scaling complex, high-impact, high-availability systems in production.
• Deep system design skill, especially for distributed, real-time, and high-throughput systems.
• Strong command Of system performance and scaling, with solid knowledge Of MySQL or PostgreSQL. Experience with NOSQL stores such as Cassandra or Elasticsearch is a strong plus.
• Experience with chaos engineering is a strong plus. • You write GO, or you're a strong backend engineer eager to — most Of our stack is Golang, and we're happy to talk to strong candidates with Java, Node.js, or any similar languages.
• You engage directly in the code when it accelerates a critical outcome, and you hold a high standard for quality, design, and architectural decisions across the group.
• You communicate clearly, collaborate well while owning your decisions independently, and you're genuinely driven to make systems better.
