Operations & DevOps Engineer

Role Datago's products run on a large-scale data processing platform, with infrastructure hosted across public cloud and on-premises environments.

Parts of the codebase were developed by former team members, and documentation is being progressively updated. Engineers are expected to review existing code before modifying it and to address root causes rather than symptoms. AI assistants are in the workflow but responsibility for all delivered code remains with the submitting engineer.

• Maintain cloud infrastructure, covering instances, networking, access control and resource management.
• Perform backups, secrets rotation and system upgrades, and provide incident response for pipeline outages.
• Work closely with other teams to safeguard collection quality.

• Fluent Cantonese, working proficiency in English for documentation and code, ability to read both Traditional and Simplified Chinese.
• Strong command-line and bash proficiency, with a track record of diagnosing issues through log analysis rather than trial-and-error restarts.
• Daily hands-on experience with Docker; exposure to Kubernetes, which is deployed in production, is an advantage. Proficiency with Git in team workflows.
