Key benefits

  • International team
  • Rapidly growing

About the position

This role is focused on building AI-powered tools that support sales enablement. As a Software Engineer, you will work on designing and developing product features that leverage AI technologies to improve how sales teams operate and create value for users. This is a high-impact position for engineers who are excited to work at the intersection of product development and applied AI.

Technologies

  • AI/LLM: OpenAI SDK, prompt engineering & optimization
  • Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, Effect (functional TypeScript)
  • Cloud: AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, SES, CDK)
  • Integrations: Google APIs (Gmail, Calendar), Microsoft Graph API, Zoom API
  • Testing: Vitest
  • CI/CD: GitHub Actions, pnpm

Note: The above technologies reflect our current stack. The Agent team has the autonomy to make technology choices that best serve our AI-native product goals. You will be involved from the architecture and technology selection stage for new agent products.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and operate AI agent systems powered by large language models (LLMs), including prompt engineering, output parsing, and evaluation pipelines
  • Architect event-driven workflows (Lambda, webhooks, queues) that enable agents to act autonomously and reliably at scale
  • Collaborate closely with product, sales, and CS teams to translate business needs into intelligent agent behaviors
  • Own the full lifecycle of agent products — from prototyping and prompt tuning to production deployment and monitoring
  • Evaluate and integrate new AI capabilities (models, APIs, tooling) to continuously improve agent performance
  • Contribute to engineering best practices through code reviews, documentation, and knowledge sharing

Requirements

  • 4+ years of software engineering experience in product development
  • Hands-on experience building applications that integrate LLMs (e.g., Claude, GPT) — including prompt design, tuning, and output evaluation
  • End-to-end engineering experience from design and development through to production operation
  • Solid backend engineering skills (Node.js/TypeScript preferred)
  • Experience with event-driven or serverless architectures (Lambda, webhooks, message queues)
  • Strong communication skills and comfort working with cross-functional stakeholders
  • Business-level proficiency in both Japanese and English (for Japanese, a JLPT N2 or higher certification is required).
  • Passion for continuous improvement and staying current with the rapidly evolving AI landscape

Nice to haves

While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.

  • Experience designing, building, and operating architectures on AWS
  • Familiarity with RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) patterns, vector databases, or embedding-based search
  • Experience building multi-step AI workflows (e.g., tool use, chain-of-thought, planning)
  • Knowledge of SOLID principles, Clean Architecture, or Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
  • Test-Driven Development (TDD) experience

Compensation

¥7,000,000 ~ ¥10,000,000 annually.
