Forward Deployed Engineer - Tokyo
Why it's interesting
OpenAI's first standalone Tokyo FDE seat — mirrors the APAC build-out pattern Anthropic already ran (Tokyo) and Sierra runs today (Tokyo infra seat). Requires bilingual Japanese/English fluency, so this isn't a remote-from-anywhere role — it's a bet on a Tokyo-based enterprise practice.
The role
Lead end-to-end deployments of frontier models in production with strategic Japanese customers: discovery, technical scoping, system design, build, and production rollout, embedding with customer teams and codifying playbooks for broader use. Wants 5+ years of engineering or technical deployment experience with customer-facing work, bilingual fluency in Japanese and English, production-grade coding (Python/JavaScript or comparable), and experience deploying LLM/generative model systems.
