The field

What the work is.

A software placement puts you on a working engineering team: a desk, a repository, a sprint, and a problem the people around you need solved.

We place students in back-end and front-end engineering, applied machine learning, data work, and product design. Every seat is arranged after a call about what you can already build and what you want to learn.

The teams are small enough that your work is visible. You review pull requests with senior engineers, sit in on architecture calls, and leave with code in production and a reference from the engineer who reviewed it.

You won't fetch coffee or watch from the side. The placement is built around something you own, a feature, a model or a dataset, scoped so it ships in the time you have.


Who we place

What an engineering team asks of you.

i.
Working fluency in code. You can read a codebase you didn't write, and your commits don't need rescuing.
ii.
Something built and shipped. A side project, a contribution, a previous internship. Something people other than you have used.
iii.
A tolerance for ambiguity. Tickets here are rarely complete. You ask the right question instead of waiting.
iv.
A reason to be in Asia. Some curiosity about how software gets built and used here, beyond the line on your CV.
A note on fit

A computer science degree helps but isn't required. Self-taught engineers and students from other fields do fine if they can show working code.

We find that out on a call and from something you've built. We don't ask for a transcript.


The work

The kinds of work.

Every seat is arranged after the call. These are the shapes the work usually takes, not open positions.


Where

By city.

Hong Kong

HK · 香港

Hong Kong is finance infrastructure and fintech, plus the technology teams of long-established firms. Good if you like systems where reliability is the whole job.

Shanghai

SH · 上海

Shanghai is consumer technology at scale. Mobile-first products, fast release cycles, and user numbers that turn small features into big lessons.

Singapore

SG · 新加坡

Singapore is Southeast Asia's technology hub: regional engineering offices, deep tech, AI teams building for a dozen markets at once. English throughout.

Bangkok

BKK · กรุงเทพฯ

Bangkok is a growing startup scene with lean teams. You touch more of the stack than you would somewhere bigger.
