Full description
VINFAST is a pioneering electric vehicle (EV) company committed to revolutionizing the automotive industry with sustainable and innovative mobility solutions. As a leading player in the EV market, VinFast is dedicated to delivering high-quality, cutting-edge electric vehicles that redefine the driving experience. Our team consists of passionate professionals driven by a shared vision of creating a greener and more sustainable future through innovation, technology, and excellence.
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 ResponsibilitiesBackend & 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
