rednote Product Engineer Intern

About the Team

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.
