Hong Kong Full Stack Engineer (AI/Robotics)

Job Description

We are looking for a Contract-to-Hire Engineer with solid full-stack development skills and a strong interest in AI and robotics technology.

You will participate in the design and development of robot-related software platforms, AI applications, and internal engineering systems, taking charge of the complete technical lifecycle from front-end interaction, back-end services, and data management, to AI model inference service integration and system deployment.

We hope candidates not only possess traditional software engineering skills, but also understand the basic training and inference workflows of modern AI models. You should be proficient in using AI agent coding tools such as Codex and Claude Code to boost development efficiency and adapt to an AI-native software development paradigm.

This position requires participation in overseas client project delivery and on-site R&D support.

Understand basic model training, fine-tuning, LoRA, model evaluation, and inference workflows. Be able to handle model service deployment, API encapsulation, inference performance analysis, and troubleshooting of common issues.

6. Data & Infrastructure Construction

Participate in the collection, storage, retrieval, and management of robot data, training data, and operational data, building reliable data processing pipelines.

7. System Deployment & Operations

Responsible for service containerization, deployment, logging, monitoring, and troubleshooting to improve system stability, maintainability, and development efficiency.

8. AI Agent Coding Workflow Construction

Proficiently use AI agent coding tools such as Codex and Claude Code for code development, refactoring, testing, debugging, code review, and documentation generation, while exploring more efficient agentic software engineering workflows.

9. Overseas On-Site Delivery & Technical Support

Participate in on-site deployment, system integration, debugging, and troubleshooting for client projects in Europe, the United States, and other regions. Be capable of independently analyzing software, network, robot system, and AI service issues on-site, and collaborating with clients and internal R&D teams to drive problem resolution.

10. Cross-Team Collaboration

Work closely with robotics, algorithms, model training, and on-site engineering teams to translate algorithmic and robotic capabilities into stable, user-friendly software products.

11. Technical Documentation & Engineering Standards

Write clear design documents, API documentation, and technical proposals, driving code quality, testing, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

1. Professional Background

Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Robotics, or related fields.

2. Programming Skills

Proficient in Python and familiar with TypeScript/JavaScript; strong foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software engineering.

3. Front-End Development

Familiar with at least one modern Web front-end technology stack such as React, Next.js, or Vue, with the ability to independently develop complex Web applications.

4. Back-End Development

Familiar with at least one back-end technology stack such as FastAPI, Django, Flask, Node.js, or Go, with sound ability in designing REST API / WebSocket services.

6. Linux & Engineering Environment

Familiar with Linux development environments, Git, and Docker; able to independently handle service deployment, log analysis, and online troubleshooting.

7. AI Fundamentals

Basic understanding of deep learning and large-scale models, with familiarity with fundamental concepts such as model training, fine-tuning, LoRA, checkpoints, inference, and quantization.

8. Model Inference Skills

Familiar with common deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, able to read model training and inference code, and complete model loading, inference service encapsulation, and basic performance analysis.

9. AI Agent Coding Skills

Proficient in using at least one AI agent coding tool (e.g., Codex, Claude Code), and capable of applying it genuinely to daily engineering development rather than just simple code completion.

10. Independent Problem-Solving

Ability to quickly understand unfamiliar codebases and complex systems, independently driving requirements analysis, architecture design, development, testing, deployment, and troubleshooting.

11. Overseas Travel & On-Site Capability

Willing and able to accept long-term overseas business trips and client on-site residency in Europe, the United States, and other regions, with cumulative travel time of approximately 6–9 months per year; strong environmental adaptability, on-site communication skills, hands-on ability, and resilience under pressure.

12. English Proficiency

12. Experience in independently designing and delivering complete software products or platforms from 0 to 1.

13. Prior experience in on-site delivery, long-term residency, or multinational R&D collaboration with overseas clients in Europe or the US is a plus.

What We Value Most

We do not require candidates to be professional AI algorithm researchers, but we expect you to be able to:

• Understand model training and inference code;

• Comprehend the general workflow of a model from data and training to deployment and production;

• Independently encapsulate models into services and integrate them into actual products;

• Analyze common issues related to GPUs, VRAM, latency, and throughput;

• Utilize AI agents to efficiently understand and modify large codebases;

• Independently review, debug, and verify the correctness of code generated by AI agents;

• Adapt to long-term overseas project environments and independently drive problem-solving and software delivery at client sites.

We are looking for an AI Native Full Stack Engineer who can leverage AI to significantly boost individual engineering output, combined with strong on-site engineering and overseas project delivery capabilities, rather than just a traditional Web front-end/back-end engineer.
