The Hangzhou-based company posted 10 positions on the Microsoft Corp.-owned jobs and networking platform over the last week, its first listings for several months.
The jobs, posted in Mandarin along with their descriptions, included three roles focused on artificial general intelligence, or AGI. The positions are based in Beijing and Hangzhou.
DeepSeek didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Similar jobs were posted earlier this year on popular Chinese recruitment sites. In 2021, LinkedIn shuttered a localised version of its platform in China, meaning many potential job candidates viewing the listings would be based outside of the country.
DeepSeek’s rivals in the US like OpenAI and Meta Platforms Inc. have been racing to lure top AI talent in a quest to dominate what could be world-changing technology. Some are trimming their workforces to free up spending for data centers and other initiatives, or splashing out on huge salaries for the best engineers, sometimes poaching talent from competitors.
