Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Artificial Intelligence (AI) EngineerLocation: Hong Kong (Hybrid)Company: Xircuit AIAbout Xircuit AIXircuit is an infrastructure-focused startup developing high-performance verification engines for code optimization. We solve complex efficiency problems at the intersection of software and hardware, ensuring that mission-critical code runs at peak performance on real-world infrastructure.

The Role

We are looking for an AI Engineer to join our founding team. You will focus on building automated systems that refine and validate code for specialized hardware environments. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy working deep within the stack to solve performance bottleneck challenges.

Core Skill

Requirements

• Hardware-Aware AI: Experience with evolutionary algorithms, search-based optimization, or reinforcement learning applied to systems.GPU & Parallel Computing: Deep technical proficiency in CUDA kernels, GPU memory management, and multi-core CPU tuning.
• Model Efficiency: Practical experience with quantization (INT8/FP16), pruning, and optimizing workloads for edge devices.
• Verification: Familiarity with developing automated test suites to ensure functional equivalence and mathematical correctness.
• Soft Skills & Attitude
• Intellectual Rigor: You value "proven correct" over "probably works" and are obsessed with eliminating hallucinations in engineering output.
• First-Principles Thinker: You are comfortable questioning standard compiler or LLM assumptions to find deeper optimization opportunities.
• Founder’s Mindset: As an early hire, you are proactive, comfortable with ambiguity, and ready to take extreme ownership of the product's technical direction.
• Collaborative Problem-Solver: Ability to bridge the gap between high-level AI research and low-level hardware constraints in a team setting.

What We Offer

Competitive salaryFounding Team Impact: Shape the core architecture of an infrastructure-first product from the ground up.

Top-Tier Pedigree: Work alongside a leadership team that includes serial entrepreneurs and PhDs in Computer Science.

Hybrid Flexibility: A balance of remote work and collaboration in our Hong Kong office.

Hardware Playground: Direct access to diverse hardware infrastructure, from A100/H100 GPUs to specialized edge AI processors.
