Anime IP value chains span rights, channels, overseas licensing, categories, and handoffs to production and marketing. We build AI products that make repetitive, error-prone, cross-functional work manageable, traceable, and scalable.
This is not a “code-only” role: you break down real business problems and ship solutions end to end—from architecture and data flow through full-stack implementation and iteration—with sustained interest in anime and IP commercialization. Strong preference for candidates who can show anime-related personal or side projects with real users and usage—not demos alone.
Responsibilities
- Map pain points across IP commercialization (licensing, rights/compliance, categories/channels, production/marketing), turn them into product work, and articulate customer value.
- With BizDev, translate customer needs into roadmaps and milestones; prioritize under constraints; deliver from alignment to release.
- Own evolving core architecture and full-stack delivery with quality from requirements through release.
- Run interviews, metrics, and feedback loops for measurable improvement.
- As we grow, help run a small product team and transition from senior IC–led, hands-on phases—scope discussed in interviews.
Requirements
- 5+ years shipping AI-related products 0→1 or 1→N (e.g., eng-led product, Tech Lead, full-stack; “AI” need not appear in your title).
- AI-native delivery: iterate from model capabilities; use eval/data flywheels, prompting/tooling, and engineering—not AI layered on traditional software delivery alone.
- Full-stack end to end: design/architecture, front and back end, deploy, iteration (stack in interview).
- Interest in Japanese anime and IP business; comfortable with cross-region collaboration and licensing contexts.
- Portfolio required: links, store pages, or repos—evidence of curiosity and shipping, not pedigree.
- Validates ideas with experiments and feedback; moves from interest to adopted, valuable product.
Nice to haves
While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.
- Beyond-intro ML, LLMs, or image understanding/generation.
- 0→1 in startups or delivery under tight constraints.
- English or Chinese for international product work.
- PdM collaboration in platform or multi-product settings.
Compensation
¥6,000,000 ~ ¥10,000,000 annually.
