I’m hiring a Senior Forward Deployed Engineer for a publicly listed consumer tech company launching a new AI Agent business for Japan’s massive food distribution industry.
The company already has:
44M+ app downloads
A network covering 35,000+ retail stores
Deep relationships with Japan’s leading food & beverage brands
Large-scale proprietary consumer, purchase, receipt, and retail data
Now they’re using that foundation to build an AI-native operating layer for manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers.
What you’ll build
AI Agents that automate real business workflows
AI-OCR and unstructured data pipelines
Agent harnesses, guardrails, and durable workflows
Full-stack products from frontend to backend and AI infrastructure
Production systems using TypeScript, AWS, Terraform and Langfuse
This is a CEO-led 0→1 project, so you’ll work directly with customers, identify the real problem, prototype quickly, and take the solution all the way into production.
Why I like this opportunity
Compensation from ¥10M+
AI-native development using Coding Agents
Full-stack ownership from architecture to production
Unique proprietary data and an existing enterprise network
Small team, fast decisions, real customer impact
You do not need to already have an “FDE” title. I’d especially like to speak with strong Backend / Full-stack Engineers who have built applications with LLM APIs and enjoy working directly with users to solve ambiguous business problems.
Experience with TypeScript, AWS, AI-OCR, workflow engines, or industry systems is a plus, not a checklist. Professional Japanese required
