Devops Engineer (Japanese speaking)

About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Senior DevOps Engineer to strengthen our platform engineering team. In this role you will design, build, and operate cloud infrastructure, drive CI/CD automation, and embed GitOps practices that let product teams ship with confidence. You will work closely with infrastructure, security, and application teams - translating complex technical solutions into measurable business outcomes while raising the DevOps bar across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

Infrastructure & Cloud

• Design, develop, and manage cloud infrastructure using an IaC tool such as Terraform, Bicep, or CloudFormation.

• Administer and harden Linux servers for DevOps and application workloads, ensuring security and operational stability.

• Manage containerized workloads with Kubernetes and Docker, including cluster configuration, scaling, and lifecycle management.

CI/CD & Automation

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines using one or more tools such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

• Implement GitOps workflows using a tool such as FluxCD with Helm charts to enable automated, declarative delivery.

• Develop automation scripts in Bash and/or Python to drive operational efficiency and environment management.

Observability & Reliability

• Operate and optimize a monitoring and observability stack - such as Grafana/Prometheus, ELK/OpenSearch, Dynatrace, or Datadog.

• Implement and support robust logging, alerting, and incident response strategies.

Collaboration & Leadership

• Collaborate cross-functionally with infrastructure, security, and other internal teams to deliver reliable, scalable services.

• Communicate clearly with internal stakeholders and customers, translating technical solutions into business value.

• Lead or contribute to technical decision-making, best practice definition, and DevOps knowledge sharing within the team.

Must Have

Experience

• 2-7 years of professional experience in a DevOps or Infrastructure Engineering role.

• Professional-level hands-on experience with AWS, Azure or GCP (deep expertise in one is required).

Infrastructure as Code

• Proficiency in at least one IaC tool: Terraform (preferred), Bicep, or CloudFormation.

• Strong grasp of IaC best practices: state management, module design, drift detection, and GitOps workflows.

CI/CD & GitOps

• Hands-on experience with at least one CI/CD platform: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.

• Experience with GitOps tooling - FluxCD preferred - using Helm charts for declarative delivery.

• Familiarity with version control systems: Git or Azure DevOps Git.

Platform & Systems

• Strong Linux system administration and troubleshooting experience.

• Skilled in scripting and automation using Bash and/or Python.

• Experience managing containerized workloads on Kubernetes and/or Docker.

Observability

• Solid knowledge of at least one monitoring/logging stack: Prometheus/Grafana, ELK, OpenSearch, Dynatrace, or Datadog.

• Strong understanding of DevOps best practices including security, reliability, and scalability.

Communication

• Good communication skills in Japanese and Vietnamese; English is an advantage

• Proven ability to document, present, and advocate technical decisions clearly.

What Seniority Means in This Role

We are not just looking for someone who can execute tasks - we expect a Senior DevOps Engineer to operate with a high degree of autonomy, ownership, and technical leadership. Here is what that looks like day-to-day:

Ownership & Autonomy

• You take end-to-end ownership of infrastructure domains - from design through delivery and ongoing operations - without needing close supervision.

• You proactively identify gaps in reliability, security, or scalability and drive improvements rather than waiting to be assigned work.

Technical Depth & Judgement

• You make sound architectural decisions independently, weighing trade-offs between tooling choices, cost, maintainability, and risk.

• You are the go-to person for complex infrastructure problems, debugging production incidents, and designing resilient systems.

• You stay current with the DevOps ecosystem and can evaluate new tools or practices critically before adopting them.

Influence & Mentorship

• You actively raise the team’s technical bar - through code reviews, pairing sessions, internal workshops, or written documentation.

• You mentor junior and mid-level engineers, providing constructive feedback and helping them grow into independent contributors.

• You contribute to defining team standards, best practices, and DevOps culture within the engineering organization.

Stakeholder Communication

• You communicate infrastructure decisions, risks, and trade-offs clearly to both technical peers and non-technical stakeholders.

• You translate platform work into business value - uptime, velocity, cost savings - and advocate for platform investment when needed.

Nice to Have

• Relevant DevOps certifications: CKA, Terraform Associate, or Azure DevOps Expert.

• BSc / MSc in Computer Science, Engineering, or an equivalent technical discipline.

• Working experience at an IT services or managed services provider.

• Experience with multi-cloud or hybrid cloud deployments.

• Awareness of security and compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or CIS Benchmarks - hands-on experience is a plus.

• Exposure to SRE practices and site reliability concepts.
