Think Different. Build Different.  Full Stack Engineer

#1 on ProductHunt. Over 10,000 AI agents generated worldwide within months of launch – that’s our voice AI agent platform Omakase.ai. The product has evolved with major updates including a voice+chat hybrid widget, a smarter recommendation engine, and Shopify integration. Monetization is live, and early ARR is tracking strongly. We’re confident in the trajectory for global impact — that’s why we’re hiring elite engineers to join us from Japan. Let’s scale a Japanese-born AI product globally!

What We Do
 We’re revolutionizing sales with Omakase.ai – because chatbots just answer questions, but our Agentic Voice AI agents actually close sales.
Our voice-powered sales agents behave like real sales reps – persuasive, helpful, and always on-brand. They provide live product recommendations during conversations, conversation analytics to understand customer behavior, and a smarter scraping engine that learns any website instantly with zero setup required.

 You’ll dive into global AI product development during our zero-to-one phase. You’ll work directly with our CEO and core team from Japan while building for global markets, experiencing AI-driven development with rapid iteration from concept to release. This is your chance to shape the future of sales technology from the ground up in an international work environment that welcomes both Japanese and non-Japanese speakers.
