I’m hiring Forward Deployed Engineers for a fast-growing, publicly listed AI company in Japan. The role sits directly between software engineering, AI, and real business problems.
You’ll work closely with enterprise clients to:
Identify problems where AI can actually create value
Design and build AI / LLM solutions from 0 → 1
Develop prototypes quickly and bring them into production
Build with LLMs, RAG, AI Agents, Python, AWS / GCP and modern data platforms
Own projects from problem discovery through implementation and continuous improvement
Why I like this opportunity:
Compensation up to ¥25M
Hands-on work with LLMs and AI Agents
Work with major enterprises across multiple industries
High ownership over architecture and technology decisions
Hybrid
Flexible working hours
Full support for books, certifications and technical learning
ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools actively used internally
And importantly: You do NOT need previous FDE or AI project experience. If you’re a Software Engineer who enjoys solving ambiguous problems, building 0 → 1 products, and working closer to real users and business problems, this could be a very interesting next step. Only 2+ years of software development experience is required.
