Yes of course. Just make sure you can learn cantonese and read some chinese and you'll be able to survive in Hong Kong.

Yes, there is a big community of American expatriates living and working in Hong Kong. It is a very open city - anyone can live and work here, as long as they can find someone to employ them and arrange for their working visa. Edit: many people are suggesting you learn Cantonese, the local language. It's totally unnecessary. Very few expats speak any Cantonese, and all the locals you need to speak to will understand English. If you want to learn a language, learn Mandarin Chinese instead, because otherwise you won't be able to venture over the border into Mainland China.

You need a working visa before you start working in Hong Kong, mostly you have to apply a job and the company would help you get the visa.
