• Agile Working: We empower you to work where you are most productive, blending client site visits, office collaboration, and remote work.

• ESG & Impact: Join a firm committed to being a responsible corporate citizen. Participate in our CSR initiatives and help clients build sustainable, ethical tech ecosystems.

Who We Are Looking For

The Essentials

• Academic: Final year student or recent graduate with a Bachelor’s degree or above.
• Discipline: Ideally majors in Computer Science, Information Systems, Cyber Security, or Engineering are preferred. We also welcome STEM majors or business graduates with a strong passion for technology and a self-taught technical aptitude.

• Work Status: A permanent resident or holder of the right of abode/IANG visa eligibility in Hong Kong.

Consultant Mindset

• Tech-Savvy Storyteller: You can analyze complex technical problems and explain the business impact to a non-technical management.
• Critical Thinker: You don't just accept things as they are. You ask "Why?" and look for smarter, faster ways to solve problems.
• Agile Learner: Technology changes fast. You are excited to learn about new tools (e.g., Generative AI, Python scripting) and apply them to your work.
• Collaborative Leader: You have demonstrated leadership—whether through university societies, sports teams, or internships—and thrive in a diverse, high-energy team environment.
