Job Description

【Company Overview】
The company leverages cutting-edge Generative AI and Large Language Model (LLM) technology to drive corporate transformation.

Its primary strength lies in the technical capability to develop domestic LLMs from scratch. In May 2024, the company released a Japanese-specialized LLM with 100 billion parameters, making it one of the largest in Japan.

While many firms limit themselves to fine-tuning overseas models or utilizing open-source software (OSS), the company designs and builds its models from the ground up. The resulting performance is optimized for the Japanese language and business domains, boasting a standard that is among the highest for domestic models. Furthermore, it significantly reduces hallucinations and allows for safe operation under internal management.

Rather than being a mere "user of Generative AI," the company aims to be a "creator of AI," supporting Japan's industrial competitiveness through technology.

Leveraging this technical prowess, the company currently operates two main business lines: a SaaS business providing AI agents for the manufacturing industry, and a new PaaS business serving as a platform to support the implementation of operational AI.

Since its founding, the company has targeted enterprise clients and has already seen adoption by over 300 companies, including 30% of the Nikkei 225. Moving forward, the company plans to expand from manufacturing R&D to domestic enterprises, the broader Japanese market, and eventually global corporations.

In October 2024, the company completed a Series D funding round of 4.5 billion JPY, bringing its total funding to 8.8 billion JPY. With a workforce that has grown to approximately 150 employees, the company is now recruiting new talent to drive further growth.

【Current Challenges】
The company recently completed a 4.5 billion yen Series D funding round. To elevate its products to the next level, it is essential for the organization to accelerate value verification and drive the implementation of new features in close collaboration with product managers and designers.

As the company explores new strategic directions for its products, its user base continues to grow. This has created an urgent need to strengthen the development structure so it can simultaneously handle high-speed feature development, address client improvement requests, ensure stable operations, and enhance the development environment.

Furthermore, following the launch of a new business unit in 2024, multiple enterprise-level PoC projects are currently underway. While the team is working tirelessly toward their success, they are actively tackling ongoing challenges such as defining resource requirements and architecting new interfaces.

【Your Role】
You will be responsible for development across a wide range of areas, from the backend to infrastructure. In addition to core development, based on individual interests and aspirations, there are opportunities to take on architectural design for large-scale and high-complexity systems, development planning, project promotion in collaboration with Research and BizDev teams, and development team management. The company also plans to further drive development utilizing machine learning, with a focus on Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Key Responsibilities
・Developing features that leverage LLMs to summarize user-accumulated information and transform it into actionable insights.
・Feature development and performance optimization to provide high-quality, personalized information recommendations for each user.
・Designing and developing visualization features for insights derived from information shared within an organization.
・Leading the autonomous development of a new service (PaaS) as a founding engineer, driving the process from verification to implementation.
・Defining resource requirements and interfaces in collaboration with machine learning engineers developing document analysis engines.
・Driving development to solve business challenges through close communication with product managers.

You will play a pivotal role in evolving alongside the product by making full use of advanced technology.

【Assigned Teams】
You will be assigned to one of the following divisions:
・SaaS Product Engineering Division
・PaaS SAT Division

【Development Environment】
・Languages & Frameworks: Vue.js, TypeScript, Flutter, Ruby on Rails, Python, Terraform, Node.js, Golang
・Databases: RDB (Amazon Aurora MySQL), Elasticsearch (AWS OpenSearch), DynamoDB
・Infrastructure & Cloud Platforms:
　- Docker, AWS (ECS, Cognito, SQS, SES, Step Functions, IAM, CodeBuild, CodePipeline, CodeDeploy, etc.)
　- Datadog, SendGrid, CircleCI, Azure, etc.
・AI & LLM: Utilizing OpenAI and Azure OpenAI Service for specific features.

【Position Highlights】
■Engage in Advanced Search and Recommendation via LLM × SaaS Development
・The company is actively developing its own proprietary LLM. While its primary product, Anews, is a B2B SaaS, its nature as a news platform requires highly advanced recommendation and search technologies, offering opportunities to tackle high-difficulty development challenges.
・The environment allows engineers to attempt the commercialization of business document analysis—a feat not yet fully achieved by general-purpose LLMs or document analysis services from major cloud providers.
・Gain hands-on experience in bringing LLM and multimodal AI to life within actual, production-level services.

■Team-Based Development in Collaboration with PdM, Design, BizDev, and Research
・The company employs a feature-based development model where engineers interact closely with Product Managers (PdMs), Designers, BizDev, and Research teams.
・This environment enables professionals to focus on solving customer challenges while working alongside diverse roles to refine the product.

■A Flexible Work Environment
・The company supports flexible work styles tailored to individual lifestyles. With a high ratio of engineers, the organization deeply understands the importance of engineering.
・The average age is 36.7, and many members have extensive experience in the enterprise sector. This fosters a professional, composed atmosphere conducive to focused development.
