DeepSeek is recruiting about 150 senior backend and server-side engineers to upgrade, maintain and rewrite backend systems. A company technical lead said those systems are straining under growth in users, requests and compute-heavy agent workloads. The technical lead cited many new directions, systems and requirements. The openings are aimed at senior backend and server-side engineers.[1], [2]
Cui Tianyi, who leads DeepSeek's Harness team, said the existing infrastructure had been reaching its limits and must be extensively upgraded, maintained and rewritten. Cui said that in computing, once anything scales up in quantity, complexity also rises sharply. He listed fast growth in data volumes, machine counts, training workloads and active users.[1]
DeepSeek in June announced a plan to at least double every department across 33 distinct roles. This round follows that plan and concentrates on the infrastructure side. The hiring follows a rise in the price of DeepSeek's API access while Chinese model developers compete on price.[1]
