Job description

rednote is a lifestyle and content community platform serving hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Our Singapore engineering team is the local core force behind our international business, driving the evolution of rednote's global architecture — from distributed backend services to a wide range of technical platforms. This is not the kind of big-company seat where "you just tighten one screw." We're a small team taking on hard problems, and our way of working is deeply integrated with AI: AI-assisted coding, AI-powered data analysis, AI-built internal tools... If you believe in the vision of "One World, One App", come join us — and let people across the globe share the same way of life because of the code you write.

What You'll Do

• Get hands-on with our international backend architecture and technical platforms, writing code that actually ships
• Own a module end-to-end under your mentor's guidance — from the database all the way to the frontend page, turning ideas into something people can click
• Use AI to accelerate delivery: hand the repetitive work to AI, and save your brain for the truly hard problems
• Have a seat at the system design table, learning how senior engineers make trade-offs under "large scale + fast pace"\
• Work alongside product and cross-border teams to understand real business needs and compliance challenges across different markets

What We're Looking For

• Undergraduate or Master's student in Computer Science or a related field; juniors and above, or graduate students, preferred
• Solid programming fundamentals, proficient in at least one backend language (Go / Java / C++)
• A good grasp of core data structures, algorithms, and operating system / networking principles
• Familiarity with both relational and non-relational databases (MySQL, Redis, etc.), including their underlying principles
• Strong problem-decomposition skills and self-drive, with a genuine willingness to see things through end-to-end

Bonus Points

• Full-stack project experience — you've independently built a complete application or tool with a UI
• Experience with distributed systems, high-concurrency services, or platform / middle-office projects
• Open-source contributions, ACM / competition achievements, or personal technical projects

What We Offer

• A dedicated 1-on-1 senior engineer mentor, with real platform-project experience
• Deep involvement in the frontline technical scenarios of rednote's global architecture
• Priority access to a return offer / full-time conversion for top performers
