Build agentic systems with us

How we work

Applied Agentic is a Hong Kong-based AI company building institutional-grade multi-agent systems for capital markets. We are a lean team — every person ships to production. We value curiosity, precision, and the ability to learn fast over credentials.

• Ship daily — small commits, fast feedback, production-first thinking
• Learn by doing — no sandboxed "training projects"; you touch the real system from week one
• Explain your work — if you can't write a clear commit message or doc, the code isn't done
• Own the outcome — you build it, you deploy it, you monitor it

Research Engineer Intern

Comp Sci / Math · Recent graduates or 1–2 years experience · Hong Kong

You will work directly on our proprietary analytical systems — researching and developing multi-modal mixture-of-expert tools, building pipelines that transform alternative data into actionable insights, and deploying to our Google Cloud production environment.

• Hands-on work with Kafka, RabbitMQ, and Pub/Sub messaging frameworks
• Build and maintain D3.js and Canvas data visualizations for the browser

What we are looking for

• Strong fundamentals in Python; exposure to Rust, Java, or C++
• Comfort with the command line — git, shell scripting, package management
• CLI and MCP development experience
• Experience with core GenAI concepts (e.g., Large Language Models (LLM), multi-modal, large vision models) and experience with text, image, video, or audio generation
• Hands-on experience with Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Dialogflow
• Desire to build multi-agent enterprise and compliance guardrail harnesses

Nice to have

• Exposure to financial data and quantitative processes
• Alternative and unstructured data processing and signal generation
• Experience with one or more of the following: speech/audio (e.g., technology duplicating and responding to the human voice), reinforcement learning (e.g., sequential decision making), ML infrastructure, or specialization in another ML field
• Aptitude to learn across multiple disciplines spanning mathematics, technology, and finance

Design & Data Intern

Art / Science / Design · Any year · Hong Kong

You will shape how complex financial data is presented to users — research pages, interactive charts, slide decks, and dashboards. This role sits at the intersection of design thinking and data literacy. No prior coding experience required — we will teach you.

What you will do

• Design and iterate on data visualizations — interactive charts, research page layouts, and dashboard interfaces
• Create slide deck layouts and visual templates for equity research output
• Write and edit research summaries — translating analyst output into clear, readable prose
• Build and maintain CSS stylesheets for the public site (we will teach you the basics)
• QA live pages — check layout, typography, colour contrast, mobile responsiveness
• Produce diagrams, infographics, video content, and brand assets for the site and social channels

What we are looking for

• Strong visual sense — you notice when type is misaligned, colours clash, or spacing is inconsistent
• Ability to write clearly and concisely in English; communicate in either English or Cantonese
• Comfort with numbers — you don't need to be a quant, but you should be able to read a financial table and spot errors
• Willingness to learn HTML, CSS, and basic JavaScript on the job
• Willingness to learn cutting-edge LLM and agentic AI related technology on the job
• Interest in design tools and video creation & analysis models

Nice to have

• Exposure to data visualization tools (Tableau, D3, Observable, Flourish)
• Basic understanding of typography, grid systems, or information design
• Experience with Markdown or static site generators
• Interest in finance, economics, or current affairs
