We are looking for an early-career engineer with deep foundations in distributed systems, AI/ML, or mathematics to join our Beijing engineering team. You will work on Conviva’s real-time analytics platform under direct mentorship from our China R&D leadership, and grow quickly into larger technical ownership.

Join us at the frontier of the agent analytics revolution, where we are defining the future of AI-native platforms.

  • Use AI coding and agentic tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) as a standard part of your workflow, for prototyping, code review, design exploration, and technical documentation.
  • Contribute to AI/agentic capabilities: LLM pipelines, agent observability, intelligent data modeling.
  • Take part in design reviews, and learn from code reviews and design pairing with senior engineers.
  • Write high-quality, well-tested code and follow CI/CD best practices.

  • Good understanding of engine internals (query engines, storage engines, stream processing, distributed systems), or deep mathematical and algorithmic strength (e.g., optimization, probability, statistics, algorithm design) that you can apply to data systems, demonstrated through research, publications, open-source contributions, or hands-on experience with big data stacks such as Spark, ClickHouse, Druid, and Kafka.
  • Familiarity with LLM and AI agent systems, and eagerness to build with them.
  • Proficient in at least one of Python, Go, Java, Scala, or Rust.
  • Actively uses AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot) in daily work.
