About Butler


Butler is an AI infrastructure company building the operating layer for frontline work — starting with property and facility management. Our product sits inside WhatsApp group chats already used by building teams, automatically converting unstructured messages, photos, and voice notes into structured operational records. No new app. No behavior change required.


100+ buildings live. Clients include Henderson Land, Swire Properties, CapitaLand, JLL, RQAM, Hong Kong Housing Authority and more.


About the Role


We're looking for a curious, hungry engineer to join our lean but fast-moving team. You'll work across the full stack — shipping features, fixing bugs, exploring new AI tools, and helping us scale. This is not a ticket-closing role. You'll have real ownership from day one, work directly with the founders, and see your code running inside some of Hong Kong's biggest buildings.


We care as much about attitude as we do about ability. The ideal candidate has solid foundations — clean code habits, good debugging instincts, and an understanding of how real software gets built — but more importantly, brings the right mindset: ownership, curiosity, and a drive to keep getting better. We'll back someone who genuinely wants to grow over someone with years on a CV but nothing to show for it.


If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.


Tech Experience:

Backend: Node.js (Express), Prisma ORM, Python

Frontend: React.js, Vite, Tailwind CSS, Material UI, Ant Design

Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP, AliCloud

Database: PostgreSQL

AI: Multi-LLM orchestration (proprietary)

Note: we do not use TypeScript


Requirements


Must-haves:

  • Strong fundamentals in Node.js and JavaScript — fresh grads with solid project portfolios welcome
  • React.js front-end development
  • Practical Python experience
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving instincts
  • Git and version control fundamentals
  • A genuine hunger to learn — this matters more to us than years on a CV


Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience with AI coding assistants
  • PostgreSQL or relational database experience
  • ORM experience (Prisma or similar)
  • REST API design and integration experience
  • AWS / GCP / Azure / AliCloud familiarity
  • AWS Lambda / GCP Cloud Functions & Cloud Run / AliCloud Function Compute (FC)
  • Serverless architecture experience
  • WhatsApp Business API or messaging platform experience
  • Test-driven development (TDD)
  • ML model training experience (bonus)
  • Chinese language (bonus, not required)


Who you are


This is the part we care about most.

  • You learn fast and don't wait to be told — you figure things out
  • You stay current with tech because you're genuinely curious, not because you have to
  • You take ownership of your work end-to-end
  • You're comfortable with change — priorities shift, scope evolves, and you adapt without losing momentum
  • You communicate clearly and are easy to work with
  • You have integrity and take pride in what you ship
  • We'd rather hire someone with 6 months of experience and the right attitude than 3 years of experience and the wrong one.


What we offer

  • Competitive salary at fresh grad / junior level
  • Basic medical benefits upon confirmation of probation
  • Real technical ownership from day one — not just ticket-closing
  • Work directly with enterprise clients across HK and Singapore
  • AI tools and accounts provided
  • Lean team, fast learning curve, outsized impact
