CortexBit

Careers

Build characters
that feel alive.

We are a small team building proprietary AI character technology in Hong Kong. Memory systems that grow. Models that hold personality. Characters that people want to talk to. If that sounds like something you want to be part of, we should talk.

Why CortexBit

Reasons to join.

Work on real IP

Not a wrapper around an API. You will work on proprietary memory systems, character models, and platform architecture that are genuinely hard to build.

Small team, direct impact

Every person who joins shapes the product. No corporate layers, no diluted ownership, no meaningless meetings. Your work ships.

Asia-first mission

We are building for Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and China. If you are excited about APAC markets and their unique chat culture, this is where it happens.

Remote-friendly

Hong Kong is our home base, but we hire across the APAC region. Work from where you do your best work, with regular team syncs.

Creative and technical

CortexBit sits at the intersection of deep engineering and creative character design. If you love both, you will find your people here.

Early stage, high upside

We are pre-launch with production-ready technology. Join now and help define what the company becomes.
