Senior AI engineers from China, remote.
Senior AI engineers based in China, available remote. AI agent / MCP server / RAG / video generation (Sora / Runway / Kling) / prompt engineering — all with shipped production deployments. Async-friendly with US daytime overlap.
Why brands struggle with this category today
Engineers sign up, accept briefs, and negotiate scope in Mandarin. Technical interviews can run in English, Mandarin, or both. No language gate cutting your candidate pool by 90%.
Payouts via Wise, Stripe Connect HK, or digital RMB. Each engineer's preferred path is configured at onboarding. You pay one invoice in USD; we handle the cross-border routing.
China standard time gives 4–6 hours of overlap with US daytime depending on coast. We match on schedule compatibility at brief time — no "will they wake up for standup" surprises.
