Software Engineer AI Pets / 软件工程师虚拟 AI 宠物教练

Our studio is building a family of AI virtual pets—companions that grow, learn, and interact with users in real time. We’re at the 0→1 stage and need an engineer who can own both robust backend systems and delightful frontend experiences.

Responsibilities

• Design and build a scalable full-stack architecture (Python/TypeScript backend, React/Next.js frontend)

• Implement real-time pet simulation: feeding, mood, growth, and event loops

• Develop and optimize REST / WebSocket APIs, microservices, and PostgreSQL schemas

• Integrate AI behavior trees, voice synthesis, and conversational models to give pets personality

• Write clean, maintainable code with comprehensive tests; lead code reviews and mentor juniors

• Work closely with product, design, and game-play teams to iterate on core pet interactions

• Drive best practices in performance, security, observability, and CI/CD on Docker/Kubernetes

• Research and introduce new tech (FastAPI, tRPC, edge functions) to boost velocity and capability

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software development, with strong backend focus

• Proficiency in Python, TypeScript, React/Next.js

• Experience with FastAPI, Django, or Flask, and modern frontend tooling

• Solid grasp of REST design, microservice architecture, and PostgreSQL data modeling

• Familiarity with AWS/GCP/Azure, containerization, and automated pipelines

• Bonus: exposure to AI/ML APIs, real-time game or simulation systems, or voice/chat integrations

• Strong problem-solving and communication skills; passion for pets, games, or virtual companionship is a plus

我们的使命是打造最具沉浸感、最有情感连接的 AI 虚拟宠物，让用户随时随地与心爱的数码伙伴互动、培养、成长。团队正处于产品 0→1 关键阶段，期待一位既擅长后端系统又懂前端体验的工程师加入，一起把想象中的宠物世界变成现实。

职责

• 设计并实现可水平扩展的全栈架构（后端 Python/TypeScript，前端 React/Next.js）。

• 构建实时宠物模拟与状态同步服务，包括喂养、情绪、成长等核心循环。

• 设计并优化 REST / WebSocket API、微服务与 PostgreSQL 模式。

• 集成并调优 AI 行为树、语音合成及情感对话模型，为宠物赋予灵魂。

• 编写干净、可维护的代码与完备测试；进行代码评审、指导初级工程师。

• 与产品、设计和游戏策划紧密协作，持续迭代宠物交互体验。

• 推动性能、安全性与可观察性最佳实践；维护 CI/CD 与容器化部署流程。

• 探索并引入新技术（如 FastAPI、tRPC、Edge Functions）提升开发效率与产品能力。

任职要求

• 5 年以上专业软件开发经验，后端功底扎实。

• 熟练掌握 Python、TypeScript、React/Next.js。

• 熟悉 FastAPI、Django 或 Flask 等后端框架与前端现代工具链。

• 扎实的 REST 设计、微服务架构与 PostgreSQL 数据建模能力。

• 了解云平台（AWS/GCP/Azure）、Docker/Kubernetes 与 CI/CD。

• 有 AI/机器学习 API 或实时游戏/模拟系统集成经验者优先。

• 具备出色的问题分析与团队沟通能力，热爱宠物、游戏或虚拟陪伴生态更佳。
