The Position
OPSWAT is transforming how we build and deliver cybersecurity, and Vietnam is at the center of that story. We are looking for an HR Business Partner who will help drive that transformation from the inside.
This role is not traditional HR. You will be the architect of our people strategy for Vietnam's fast-growing Product and Engineering organization, helping our teams hire faster, upskill smarter, lead through change, and build the kind of culture where AI-era talent wants to stay and grow.
You will sit at the intersection of business strategy and people enablement, partnering directly with Engineering leaders to accelerate our AI readiness journey. If you thrive in fast-moving tech environments, get energized by complex people challenges, and want to shape what a modern engineering hub looks like, this role is built for you.

Partner with Engineering leaders to map AI skill gaps, design upskilling roadmaps, and track adoption of AI-assisted workflows across the Vietnam R&D organization.
