Roles and Responsibility
【お任せしたいこと】
当社はAI事業のスペシャリストとして、AIソリューションの各産業への導入と新たな価値創造によるAI革命を推進しています。深層学習（ディープラーニング）等の機械学習を活用して、予測・最適化の分析アルゴリズムやビックデータ分析、アルゴリズムなどを開発し、建設、金融など各種産業に適応しています。
世の中の課題を見極めつつ、AIをどの産業にどうアプローチするか、技術的な視点から設計・立案を行い、開発チームをマネジメントして、プロジェクトマネージャー達と協力しながら事業展開を主導します。
具体的には
• AIからシステムまで幅広い技術の知識や経験を元に、プロジェクトの課題を解決するための計画や設計を策定
• チームにおける技術面の最終的な判断や優先順位の決定
• プロジェクトマネージャー・ビジネスコンサルタントと協力して、プロジェクトゴール達成のための方針検討や顧客交渉
• 数学・情報科学の知見を活用し、データを観察・分析して、AIの性能を担保
• 高い実装能力によって開発をリード
• コードレビューやテスト設計などでチーム開発における製品の品質を高め維持
• メンター/相談役としてチームメンバーをサポート
• 問題解決へのアドバイス・行動
• 最高技術責任者（CTO）連携
【なぜ募集しているか？】
現在、当社では1社でも多くのクライアントの課題解決を行っていけるよう、一緒にAIの社会実装を実現していただける仲間を募集しています。新しいメンバーをお迎えし、当社事業の成長・拡大も実現していきたいと思っています。
熱意あり粘り強く一緒にチャレンジしていける優秀な仲間と出会えることを、メンバー一同心よりお待ちしております。世界を驚かすサービスを、一緒に作りましょう！
【社内アンケート（当社で働く魅力について）】
• 小さい会社なので、自立したスタイルで業務が進められると思います。人数が少ないことによる大変さもありますが、充実感を感じる環境だと思います。（ビジネス職）
• 課題解決の方法をエンジニアの裁量で決めて試すことができる。計算リソースが豊富なため手法の選択肢が計算リソースで制限されない。（エンジニア職）
• 裁量を持って働ける環境。
• AIの社会実装自体が不確かな道のりで、迷うことも多いですが、業界の実業務を楽にしてくれる可能性を信じて、日々取り組んでいます（ビジネス職）
• 「AI企業として」という観点ですと、AIの情報が日々流れ、日進月歩でテクノロジーの進化が進んでおり、AIに真正面からぶつかることで得られる面白さ(反面苦しさも)を最大化できるのは今だと思います。そういう意味では非常に面白い社会人生活を送れるのではないかと感じます。 「他社のAI企業と比較して」という観点ですと、金融・建設・エンタメを重点領域としつつ、産業横断的なPJにも携われるAIの企業は、そう多くないのではと思います。私自身がこの会社を選んだキッカケも、金融以外の建設とエンタメ領域で事業企画やコンサルティングの経験があったためです。 「純粋な1企業として」という観点ですと、会社メンバー間での繋がりに特徴があるように思います。懇親するときは思いっきり打ち解けあいつつ、仕事モードの時は結構ピリッとする雰囲気になることも多いので、オンオフをしっかり分け、仲良しごっこではなくお互いを高めあえる存在を築けると思います。（ビジネス職）
• 比較的小さい組織で大きいことをやろうとしている。自分の能力次第でかなり自由に役割を担える。（エンジニア職）
• マネジャー以上は特に個々人が個性的で優秀。技術的な知見をエンジニア以外も多かれ少なかれ持っている。社長が良い人
• 優れたエンジニアの技術力を背景に、お客様に価値遡及をしていくことに魅力を感じます。競合が多い中、競争力をもてる源泉（技術者）がしっかりと社内にあること、またそれを維持する経営陣の努力がすばらしいことだと思います。（セールス職）

【Roles and Responsibilities】
As a specialist in our AI business, our company is driving the AI revolution by introducing AI solutions to various industries and creating new value. We utilize machine learning techniques such as deep learning to develop prediction and optimization algorithms, big data analysis, and algorithms adaptable to various industries such as construction and finance.
While identifying societal issues, you will design and plan how to approach AI in different industries from a technical perspective. You will manage the development team and lead business expansion in collaboration with project managers.
Specifically…
• Develop plans and designs to solve project challenges based on a wide range of technical knowledge and experience, from AI to system development.
• Make final technical decisions and prioritize tasks within the team.
• Collaborate with project managers and business consultants to develop strategies and negotiate with clients to achieve project goals.
• Utilize knowledge in mathematics and information science to observe and analyze data, ensuring AI performance.
• Lead development through strong implementation capabilities.
• Enhance and maintain product quality in team development through activities like code reviews and test design.
• Support team members as a mentor/advisor.
• Provide advice and take action to solve problems.
• Collaboration with Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
【Why We’re Hiring】
Currently, the company is seeking new team members who can help solve the challenges of as many clients as possible and contribute to the implementation of AI in society. We look forward to welcoming new members to help achieve the growth and expansion of our business.
We eagerly await meeting talented individuals who are enthusiastic and persistent in tackling challenges together. Let’s create groundbreaking services together!
【Internal Survey (Attractiveness of Working at the company)】
• The small size of the company allows tasks to be carried out in an independent style. While there are challenges due to the small number of people, I feel a sense of fulfillment in this environment. (Business position)
• Engineers have the discretion to decide on problem-solving methods and can try them out. With abundant computing resources, the choice of methods is not restricted by computing resources. (Engineering position)
• Environment where you can work with discretion.
• The path to implementing AI in society is uncertain, and there are many uncertainties, but I believe in the potential to make real-world business tasks easier with AI, and I work towards it every day. (Business position)
• From the perspective of being an “AI company,” I think that now is the time when AI information is flowing daily, and technological evolution is advancing rapidly. By directly confronting AI, we can maximize the interest (and the difficulty) of facing it head-on, and I feel that we can lead a very interesting social life. From the perspective of “comparing with other AI companies,” I believe that there are not many AI companies that can be involved in cross-industry projects while focusing on finance, construction, and entertainment. The reason I chose the company was that I had experience in business planning and consulting in fields other than finance, such as construction and entertainment. From the perspective of being a “pure company,” I feel that there is a unique connection between company members. When socializing, we can be very open with each other, but when it comes to work mode, there is often a tense atmosphere, so I believe that by clearly separating work and personal relationships, we can build a relationship where we can mutually improve each other rather than just getting along. (Business position)
• A relatively small organization aiming to achieve big things. Depending on your ability, you can play a role quite freely. (Engineering position)
• Managers and above are particularly individualistic and talented. Non-engineers also have a certain level of technical knowledge. The president is a good person.
• I am attracted to providing value back to customers based on the technical capabilities of excellent engineers. Despite the many competitors, I think it’s wonderful that we have a solid source of competitiveness (technicians) internally and that management makes efforts to maintain it. (Sales position)
