Are you a versatile engineer who excels at bridging the gap between innovative development and rock-solid operations? We are seeking a high-caliber Senior Full Stack & Operations Engineer to lead the end-to-end lifecycle of our next-generation services. In this role, you will not only architect and build robust frontend and backend systems but also take full ownership of their deployment, scaling, and long-term reliability across global cloud infrastructures. We are looking for a technical polyglot who thrives on learning new technologies, utilizes AI to solve complex engineering challenges, and remains calm under pressure during critical system incidents. If you are a proactive problem-solver who enjoys the intersection of software development and cloud-native orchestration, we want to hear from you.

Description
As a Full Stack Engineer, you will be the cornerstone of our team's technical resilience and service delivery. Your capabilities will span across active development, live system operations, and in-depth problem triaging:

* End-to-End Service Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable frontend and backend systems, ensuring seamless integration, high performance, and exceptional user experiences.、
* Cloud Infrastructure & Deployment: Architect and manage robust deployment pipelines. Leverage your deep expertise in CI/CD, Kubernetes (K8s), and distributed cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, GCP, AliCloud) to ensure smooth, automated rollouts.
* Operational Excellence & Monitoring: Take ownership of system health and operational readiness. Create, manage, and optimize comprehensive monitoring dashboards and alerting systems to proactively identify anomalies before they impact users.
* Incident Response & Emergency Triage: Act as a critical responder during technical escalations. Demonstrate swift analytical skills and unwavering composure to troubleshoot, manage, and mitigate live system emergencies effectively.
* Deep Problem Analysis: Apply a highly proactive mindset to dive deep into system logs and complex, multi-tiered architectures to pinpoint the exact root causes of issues, driving them to permanent systemic fixes.
* AI-Driven Engineering: Proactively integrate AI-powered tools and methodologies to accelerate development, automate repetitive tasks, and perform intelligent root-cause analysis of system anomalies.
* Continuous Learning: Champion a culture of proactive learning, rapidly adapting to new frameworks, infrastructure paradigms, and emerging technologies to keep our tech stack at the cutting edge.
