AsianFin -- Chinese AI startup DeepSeek is urgently hiring for a key product management and design role, signaling its transition from cutting-edge research to real-world commercialization.

In a job listing shared Tuesday via its official WeChat account, the Hangzhou-based company said it is seeking talent for its Beijing and Hangzhou offices to help build the "next generation of intelligent product experiences" centered on large language models. It remains unclear whether the listing refers to a single position or multiple openings.

The company emphasized the urgency of the hire and noted that ideal candidates should have experience in product management and a strong grasp of both product and visual design.

The move comes after DeepSeek made waves in the AI community earlier this year with its ambitious models and rapid development pace.
