Recruitment Background

VISASQ operates a knowledge platform dedicated to its mission: "We make insightful connections possible."

As a pioneer in Japan's Expert Network Service (ENS) industry, having acquired Coleman with the aim of becoming a Global Knowledge platform,we have just entered an ambitious new AI chapter: automating the diffusion of unique human insights that major LLMs haven't captured yet.

To achieve this, we are seeking Software Engineers, ML Engineers, and Data Scientists who can contribute to both engineering and architecture design by taking charge of designing and implementing autonomous AI agents leveraging predictive and generative models.

We are looking for Mid-level and Senior Talent. VisasQ is a publicly listed company (founded in 2012 and still led by our founder/CEO) that operates with a fast-paced startup/scale-up mindset. We are actively strengthening our core team in Japan while collaborating with our engineering presence across the US and Europe.

    • Senior-level: 5+ years of experience; able to architect event-driven workflows, optimize system latency, and design hybrid search retrieval.
  • Core Technical Competency:

    • Experience with LLM orchestration (structured outputs, tool use, multi-step agent workflows).
    • Practical experience with tabular ML pipelines (feature engineering, ranking models/LTR, model validation).
      -Familiarity with modern DevOps/MLOps (Docker, pytest/mocking, CI/CD pipelines).
