The Hangzhou-based company listed 10 new positions online, including two internships focused on large language models. Other roles include deep learning researchers, core systems engineers, front-end developers and full-stack engineers, based in either Hangzhou or Beijing.
The job descriptions were all in Chinese, and the company highlighted its competitive edge from “top-tier GPU [graphics processing unit] clusters and rapid experimental iteration on potential ideas”. Recruits would “collaborate with team members who excel at both research and engineering, focusing on AGI [artificial general intelligence] that balances practical results and academic depth”, according to the listings.
The start-up has also been actively posting roles on its official website and Boss Zhipin, a Chinese job board. As of this week, 18 roles were listed on the company’s own site, including positions marked “urgent” in AGI research and core engineering. Other listings were for lawyers, a chief financial officer, a chief operating officer, and human resources personnel. On Boss Zhipin, DeepSeek had more than 40 listings, with top salaries reaching 90,000 yuan (US$12,560) per month and annual bonuses equivalent to two months’ pay.
Anticipation for DeepSeek’s next-generation models has been high, but so far only incremental updates have been released.
