The platform learns from real-world usage patterns to optimize scent experiences that support focus, calm, and energy, much like a “Spotify for scent” that improves with continued use. Founded in Hong Kong and incubated through HKU and HKSTP, Aiome operates across consumer, enterprise, and automotive sectors. Current applications range from desktop companions for professionals to fleet safety solutions deployed across more than 130 vehicles.

You will help develop scent libraries and contribute to content that educates users on how to integrate personalized scents into their work, rest, and daily routines. This is a contract, hybrid role based in Hong Kong, with a mix of on-site collaboration and work-from-home flexibility.
