Hypebeast - Full Stack Software Engineer

• Backend: Python (FastAPI) • Frontend: TypeScript, JavaScript, React (Next.js and other modern framework) • Ship full stack features across multiple initiatives (design → build → release → operate). • Build and maintain services in Python/FastAPI, with clear API contracts and strong reliability. • Build modern UI in TypeScript/React, with attention to performance and UX quality. • Contribute to our content platform / CMS capabilities and workflows. • Develop AI agents and automation workflows that improve our user product and business operational efficiency. • Develop and iterate on personalisation, discovery and search logic (e.g., rules/strategies, ranking signals, experimentation support) in collaboration with product and data partners. • Build and maintain internal solutions/systems that support teams across the organization. • Own quality: you write tests, validate edge cases, and ensure your changes are production-ready. • Troubleshoot and respond to production issues when needed. • 2+ years shipping production full stack features. • Solid skills in Python (FastAPI or similar) and React with TypeScript (Next.js or similar). • Strong working knowledge of PostgreSQL, Redis or similar (schema design, query performance). • Comfort working across multiple codebases and domains; you ramp up quickly. • Own quality end-to-end: define test plan, implement automated tests, and verify changes before release. • High autonomy: you proactively clarify requirements, propose solutions, and drive delivery with stakeholders. • Strong English communication (spoken and written). Cantonese is a plus. • Experience with search/discovery systems (keyword search, ranking, relevance tuning). • Experience with personalization, experimentation, feature flags, or analytics instrumentation. • Practical experience building AI assistants/agents with guardrails and measurable outcomes. • Experience with cloud platforms and CI/CD. • Effective use of AI coding agents to amplify output while maintaining engineering quality. • The team is lean — successful candidates are highly self-directed. • Outcome-driven: coding is baseline; you’re measured on shipped business impact. • Stakeholder-facing: you’re comfortable collaborating directly with product, editorial, operations, and engineering partners. • Flexible & pragmatic: you choose the right level of engineering rigor based on risk, scope, and timelines.
