As an early engineer, you’ll own core product and infrastructure decisions as we scale our software across studios.
Expect to own large areas of the product end-to-end. That means backend work with ML inference systems, scaling infrastructure, making architecture decisions that stick, building agentic workflows, doing customer-facing work with studios, and helping draft specs for what comes next. This is not a narrow role - you’ll operate across the full surface area of the product.
Requirements
- 5+ years building and shipping software at scale
- T-shaped: deep expertise in your core area, but comfortable contributing across the stack - TypeScript, React, Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS
- Track record of building things from scratch - startups, side projects, open source, products you shipped end-to-end
- Genuine interest in the creative/anime space - side projects, art, content creation, anything that shows intrinsic motivation beyond the paycheck
- English fluency
- Based in Japan or willing to relocate (visa sponsorship available)
Nice to haves
While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.
- Japanese ability
