About the position

At Money Forward Consulting, we provide products such as “Manageboard” that support corporate growth and governance. Currently, we are in a phase of moving beyond simple operational efficiency to seriously address “advancing management decision-making using AI.”

Specifically, we aim for “autonomous data utilization and decision support by AI agents” in the management control domain, and “automation of issue organizing and risk assessment” in the governance domain. We are seeking an AI Solution Engineer who understands both business and technology and can lead implementation to build solutions that transform the decision-making process for executives by combining our proprietary management data infrastructure with the latest AI technology.

Opportunities

      Environment for Growth with the Latest Technology

Through building AI mechanisms that utilize critical user data related to finance and treasury, you can deliver value that exceeds expectations and imagination.
  • Environment with Freedom and Discretion
    • Working with discretion and reflecting your ideas in the product.
    • As a high-performing, small-scale development team, you can work on in-house product development with significant discretion. The environment encourages engineers to propose ideas freely, allowing you to see your own ideas reflected in the products. Since the products are used by many users, you can directly feel the impact of your AI implementation.

      Building logic for AI to provide advanced insights by integrating internal KPIs, HR information, and external market data.
      Building AI Agents:
  • Development of functions where AI agents autonomously refer to and analyze financial data (PL/BS, etc.) and non-financial data to support the decision-making of users (executives and practitioners).
    • Creating environments and implementing data infrastructure integration so that AI can directly refer to and utilize data.
  • Technical Realization of Business Requirements:
    • Proposing solutions using AI technology for high-level, abstract business challenges faced by executives and business heads (e.g., “wanting to speed up management decisions,” “wanting to strengthen governance”) and leading from prototyping to product implementation.
  • Selection and Verification of Tech Stack:
    • Verifying and selecting Generative AI technologies such as LLMs and machine learning models, and incorporating them into products (Example tech stack: Kotlin, Python, AWS/GCP, BigQuery, etc.).
