The DX&AIX Strategy Division formulates AI strategies for business transformation based on Shiseido Japan's business strategy and promotes company-wide AI Transformation (AIX). By creating an environment that maximizes the use of AI, we aim to enhance productivity and contribute to Shiseido's sustainable growth through innovation utilizing advanced AI technologies and a robust data foundation. The Data Platform Architect is responsible for promoting the construction of an AI-Ready data foundation, collecting, managing, and organizing data as a strategic asset for the company, and maximizing its value. In a traditional company representing Japan with a 150-year history, this role goes beyond merely building and operating a data foundation; it consistently drives data-driven reform by overseeing data collection and utilization from business operations. Not limited to current data management and utilization, this position involves conceptualizing and designing the overall architecture of the ideal data and AI platform by working backward from the company's business and operational challenges to connect data utilization to future business improvements. The role includes leading prototype development, implementation, and value verification as a tech lead/architect.
- Experience in designing data architecture and building pipelines for large-scale data in cloud data warehouses (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake) - Advanced data processing, API, and infrastructure development skills using SQL and Python (or Scala/Go) - Experience leading the selection, requirement definition, architecture design, and PoC of data platforms - Design ability to integrate and model diverse data (structured and unstructured) into a form that is easy to utilize for AI - Planning skills to conceptualize the ideal state of the business - Ability to translate not just technical selections but also data/AI roadmaps and overall visions for solving business challenges - Strong communication skills and the ability to work closely with on-site teams
- Experience in designing, implementing, and operating semantic layers (e.g., Looker/LookML, dbt Semantic Layer) - Experience in designing and developing data agents, Text-to-SQL, RAG platforms utilizing generative AI (LLM) - Experience in building and operating MLOps/LLMOps platforms (e.g., Vertex AI, MLflow, Airflow) - Design experience in data governance and security (data catalog/lineage management, personal data masking) - Experience as an architect/tech lead in IT/tech consulting firms, SIers, or mega ventures - Interest in multi-channel (B2B2C) business domains such as cosmetics, consumer goods, e-commerce, and retail - Mentoring experience including technical guidance and architecture reviews for team members
- Opportunity to create the future of a 150-year-old company from the infrastructure: You can be involved in the most dynamic phase of Shiseido's transformation into a company that genuinely utilizes data and AI. - Market value gained during a period of transformation: Instead of maintaining and operating an already established foundation, you can gain exciting development experience by utilizing the latest technologies to "create the AI/MLOps foundation from scratch."
