About Us

TECHCOOP is at the forefront of digital innovation in agriculture, offering a B2B platform that provides end-to-end solutions tailored for export-oriented supply chains. The platform empowers Agri-MSMEs and farmer clubs — critical stakeholders in Vietnam's agriculture sector — through comprehensive services such as technology enablement, product traceability, flexible payment terms, and enhanced market access for commercialising agricultural goods.

Earlier this year, we had successfully closed a landmark $70 million Series A funding round, one of the largest Series A investments in Southeast Asia's agricultural technology sector to date. 

We are a passionate, fast-moving startup backed by leading investors, and we're building a platform from the ground up. We believe in empowering our people to do their best work, and we're looking for foundational members to join us on this incredible journey.

The Role

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will be a cornerstone of our engineering team and the architect of our core platform. You won't just be another cog in the machine; you'll be responsible for designing, building, and running the critical systems that power our product. This is a role for someone who loves to take initiative, solve complex problems, and wants to see their work have a direct and immediate impact on our business and customers. You will have a high degree of autonomy and the opportunity to shape our technical direction.

What You'll Do

  • Architect & Build:

Design, develop, and deploy scalable, secure, and highly-available backend services using a microservices architecture.
- Take Full Ownership:

Own the entire software development lifecycle for your services—from initial brainstorming and technical design to implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance.
- Champion DevOps & CI/CD:

Build, maintain, and improve our CI/CD pipelines to ensure our team can ship high-quality code quickly and reliably. You'll live and breathe DevOps principles to enhance automation and system observability.
- Collaborate & Influence:

Work closely with product managers, frontend engineers, designers, and other business leaders to translate product requirements into technical realities. You'll be expected to communicate technical concepts and decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Mentor & Lead:

Foster a culture of technical excellence by mentoring other engineers, championing best practices, and leading by example.
- Ensure Reliability:

Troubleshoot and debug complex issues across our stack, and take part in an on-call rotation to keep our services running smoothly.

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves:

  • 5+ years of professional experience in backend software development.
  • Demonstrable experience designing, building, and operating applications based on a
    microservices architecture

.
- Strong proficiency in one or more backend programming languages (e.g., Go, Python, Rust, Java, ).
- Hands-on experience building and managing
CI/CD pipelines

.
- Solid experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and databases (SQL and NoSQL).
- A profound sense of
ownership

. You're accountable, proactive, and committed to seeing projects through to completion.
- Excellent communication skills with proven experience in
stakeholder management

, capable of articulating complex technical ideas to diverse audiences.
