The job search notice posted on Tuesday said candidates are expected to help build a “next-generation intelligent product experience” based on large language model (LLM) technology, according to its official WeChat account. LLM is the technology underpinning generative AI services like ChatGPT and DeepSeek’s eponymous chatbot app.
This marks the first time that DeepSeek, which was established by tech entrepreneur Liang Wenfeng in 2023, has published job openings for product manager, product design and visual design. The Hangzhou-based firm has largely focused on fundamental AI model research.
The recruitment drive appears to indicate that DeepSeek is evolving into proper corporate entity.
The company is also in the process of hiring a chief financial officer and chief operating officer, as well as four types of jobs in the fields of research and engineering, according to its recruitment website.
Despite massive interest in the company and its founder, DeepSeek has not engaged with the public beyond releasing a few product updates and publishing research papers. The firm’s last LLM upgrade came nearly a month ago, when it released the improved capabilities of its open-source V3 model.
