• English here "DX" is progressing slowly among Japanese companies. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has raised alarms, stating that without significant changes, these companies will be unable to overcome the crises they will face in 2025. There is an increasing trend of digital disruption driven by some pioneering DX companies that are dismantling and reconstructing existing business models. As a result, even companies that have previously led the market are frequently losing market share to new entrants that adopt advanced digital technologies. To respond flexibly to the rapid changes in this market, it is necessary to refrain from being overly attached to existing business models and to strive for enhanced competitiveness. This requires "transformations that make the most of digital technology." For companies that struggle to overcome the barriers of digitalization and lack clarity about their challenges, our company will support them from conceptualization to implementation, realizing business transformations that uncover healthy competitiveness through the power of AI, with the goal of facilitating their business transformation. To sincerely address these market challenges and contribute to the business transformations of more companies, we are recruiting for a position that will support the "social implementation of AI" on the front lines. Specifically, you will lead the development of software systems to achieve customers DX and operational efficiency, in collaboration with AI engineers and system engineers. Specific Responsibilities
