Careers at Avanis AI

Build the research workspace for Asia’s funds

Internships for students and recent graduates in Hong Kong.

Analysts at hedge funds and family offices spend hours on the first pass of research: reading filings and earnings calls, checking what management promised, and updating models. Avanis AI is building the tools that do that first pass, so investment teams can cover more companies and spend their time on judgment.

We are an early-stage startup based at HKUST. We have a working prototype and are starting to test it with analysts. This is a chance to join before the product is finished and shape what it becomes.

Pay. Current students are unpaid for the first eight weeks, then paid hourly at the statutory minimum wage. Recent graduates are paid hourly at the statutory minimum wage from the start.

How we work

Accuracy first.

Our users make investment decisions, so we check our work before we claim it works.

Small team, real ownership.

You will own real parts of the product from your first week, not side tasks.

Close to the user.

We build alongside analysts and fund managers and change course based on what they tell us.

Hybrid.

We meet in person at HKUST at least once a week. The rest is flexible around your classes or other commitments.
