I’m currently hiring for the company behind Japan’s No.1 recipe video platform, now building AI Agents to transform the food supply chain. The company has built a unique ecosystem connecting tens of millions of consumers, 35,000+ retail stores, and many of Japan’s largest food and beverage companies.
Now, they are using that industry network and proprietary purchase, receipt, and retail data to build Kurashiru AI OS, a new AI Agent platform for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers. The goal is ambitious: automate an industry where critical workflows still rely heavily on FAX, paper, Excel, and manual operations.
As an FDE, you will work directly with customers and own the entire process from problem discovery to production.
What you’ll work on:
Identify operational problems directly with customers
Design and build AI Agent solutions from 0 to 1
Automate workflows involving FAX, Excel, documents, and unstructured data
Build full-stack applications and AI Agent infrastructure
Work with AI-OCR, guardrails, durable workflows, and LLMs
Take prototypes into production and continuously improve them
What they are looking for:
Strong Web / Backend engineering fundamentals
Hands-on experience building applications with LLM APIs
Experience using Claude Code, Codex, or similar AI coding tools
Ability to own both technical decisions and customer problems
Full-stack TypeScript, AWS, AI-OCR, or workflow experience is a plus
Strong Japanese communication skills
Why this role stands out:
JPY 10M+ compensation
CEO-led, early-stage 0 to 1 AI business
Build AI Agents around real operational problems, not demo use cases
Unique access to consumer, retail, and FMCG industry data
High ownership from customer discovery through production
AI-native development environment
Opportunity to help define the technical foundation of a new business
The team works primarily onsite in Tokyo to move quickly during this early stage. If you are interested, feel free to DM me. I can share more details privately.
