No new app. No behavior change required.100+ buildings live. Clients include Henderson Land, Swire Properties, CapitaLand, JLL, RQAM, Hong Kong Housing Authority and more.About the RoleWe're looking for a curious, hungry engineer to join our lean but fast-moving team. You'll work across the full stack — shipping features, fixing bugs, exploring new AI tools, and helping us scale. This is not a ticket-closing role. You'll have real ownership from day one, work directly with the founders, and see your code running inside some of Hong Kong's biggest buildings.We care as much about attitude as we do about ability. The ideal candidate has solid foundations — clean code habits, good debugging instincts, and an understanding of how real software gets built — but more importantly, brings the right mindset: ownership, curiosity, and a drive to keep getting better. We'll back someone who genuinely wants to grow over someone with years on a CV but nothing to show for it.If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.Tech Experience:Backend: Node.js (Express), Prisma ORM, PythonFrontend: React.js, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Material UI, Ant DesignCloud: AWS, Azure, GCP, AliCloudDatabase: PostgreSQLAI: Multi-LLM orchestration (proprietary)Note: we do not use TypeScriptRequirementsMust-haves:Strong fundamentals in Node.js and JavaScript — fresh grads with solid project portfolios welcomeReact.js front-end developmentPractical Python experienceStrong debugging and problem-solving instinctsGit and version control fundamentalsA genuine hunger to learn — this matters more to us than years on a CVNice-to-haves:Experience with AI coding assistantsPostgreSQL or relational database experienceORM experience (Prisma or similar)REST API design and integration experienceAWS / GCP / Azure / AliCloud familiarityAWS Lambda / GCP Cloud Functions & Cloud Run / AliCloud Function Compute (FC)Serverless architecture experienceWhatsApp Business API or messaging platform experienceTest-driven development (TDD)ML model training experience (bonus)Chinese language (bonus, not required)Who you areThis is the part we care about most.You learn fast and don't wait to be told — you figure things outYou stay current with tech because you're genuinely curious, not because you have toYou take ownership of your work end-to-endYou're comfortable with change — priorities shift, scope evolves, and you adapt without losing momentumYou communicate clearly and are easy to work withYou have integrity and take pride in what you shipWe'd rather hire someone with 6 months of experience and the right attitude than 3 years of experience and the wrong one.What we offerCompetitive salary at fresh grad / junior levelBasic medical benefits upon confirmation of probationReal technical ownership from day one — not just ticket-closingWork directly with enterprise clients across HK and SingaporeAI tools and accounts providedLean team, fast learning curve, outsized impactInterested?
