TailorEmpower every company to deploy any ideas. We simplify the difficult parts of product creation through engineering. We aim for a world where anyone can become a product creator by breaking down the boundaries between business and engineering. We are waiting for those who resonate with this mission. What Tailor Offers We deliver value to solve business challenges for companies by democratizing ERP using AI, focusing on two pillars. One is the development of the AI Native Headless ERP platform "Tailor Platform™". We aim to redefine ERP, which supports the backbone of businesses worldwide, into a flexible and scalable system that assumes the AI era in both construction methods and end-user usage, maximizing corporate value. We are redesigning business logic based on AI Agents to create core systems that can be handled by both humans and AI — this is the theme we are challenging in this era. The other is Professional Services. Using the Tailor Platform, we deeply engage with customers' business challenges, taking responsibility from the pre-sales stage to identifying issues, designing solutions, implementing, and delivering them. We not only build backends on the Tailor Platform but also engage in frontend development, business consulting, IT strategy, and PMO support, directly addressing customers' management challenges. These two are not independent. Insights gained from the field of Professional Services flow back into the Tailor Platform, and the evolution of the Tailor Platform accelerates the problem-solving of Professional Services — creating this cycle is at the core of our development style. The Market Tailor Challenges The ERP market accounts for about 30% of the entire software market. Globally, it is expected to reach $73 billion by 2026 and double to $281.5 billion by 2035 (Precedence Research). The domestic market is also expected to grow from over 5 trillion yen in 2024 to over 8.5 trillion yen by 2029. However, more important than market size is the fact that there are still a large number of unresolved business challenges in this area. As the global trend shifts from "all-in-one packages" to "best-of-breed combinations of SaaS," questions arise daily in companies about how to structure complex business processes, how much to automate, and how to incorporate AI. We stand at the forefront of addressing these questions as pioneers in this field. Position Role As a member of Professional Services, you will be responsible for identifying customer challenges from the pre-sales stage to implementing solutions. Alternatively, you will co-create product development with customers to maximize the success rate of existing projects. You will also directly contribute to the evolution of the Tailor Platform by leveraging these experiences. This position is not a title but indicates a technical area of expertise within the Professional Services organization. Depending on the project and organizational situation, you will work on solving challenges in various areas. Specific Job Responsibilities Utilizing your experience in the financial accounting domain, you will think and choose the expected roles yourself. Here are some examples: - From identifying issues in pre-sales to business design, solution design, implementation, and delivery, take full responsibility for success without creating a gap of "this is another person's responsibility." - Deeply engage with diverse enterprises' operations while collaborating directly with customers, rapidly catching up on business domains. - Contribute to customer growth as an excellent team player through the solutions provided. - Abstract solutions to various problems faced by customers in a reusable form, contributing to the evolution of the Tailor Platform. Attraction of This Position - You can stand at the center of the judgment of "what to solve and why" — As the speed of implementation increases due to AI, the value of judgment regarding "what to create" and "why to solve it" becomes relatively higher. FDE stands at the center of that judgment. - You can not only use the platform but also be part of its growth — You can return insights gained in the field to improve the Tailor Platform. Your solutions will become the foundation for the next project. - You can directly commit to customer value through collaboration with diverse teams — You will stand at the forefront of problem-solving while co-creating with various teams such as PdM, Consultant, and Sales. - AI / LLM native development environment — We have already introduced major AI / LLM services and agents. You will also be involved in building dedicated agents for the company.

Preferred Requirements - Experience in supporting the introduction or replacement of financial accounting SaaS or ERP. - Experience in full-stack development of some business flows in core systems. - Experience in service operation in procurement and inventory management domains. - A person who is not afraid to learn and challenge new domains or technical areas to maximize customer value. - A person who can commit to discovering customer challenges from pre-sales to delivery as a product (experience at this time is not required). - Experience leading the development/introduction of AI products considering technical uncertainties due to AI. - Experience in development using GraphQL. - Experience in utilizing no-code/low-code platforms. - Technical communication skills in English (business level). Desired Personality Traits - A person who can make decisions as a senior — Being able to judge "what to decide now" from limited information on questions without a clear answer and articulate the rationale. - A person who can take ownership — Being able to own the responsibility until the customer's results are achieved without drawing a line of "this is my job." - A person who can infect the team and organization with their learning — Rather than just their own productivity, they strive to multiply the effect of their solutions through the team, customers, and Platform. - A person who values actual value rather than metrics — Valuing the actual value delivered to customers and the Platform rather than achieving specific metrics.
