TailorEmpower every company to deploy any ideas. The difficult part of product creation is made easy by the power of engineering. Breaking down the boundaries between business and engineering, we aim for a world where anyone can become a creator of products — this is the world Tailor is striving for. We are waiting for those who resonate with this mission. What Tailor offers We deliver value to solve business challenges for all companies by democratizing ERP using AI, based 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 and creating 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 for identifying issues, designing solutions, implementing, and delivering from the pre-sales stage. 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 in 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, a huge industry. 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 "combinations of best-of-breed SaaS," questions arise daily in companies about how to assemble 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. Role of this position As a member of Professional Services, you will be responsible for identifying customer issues from the pre-sales stage to implementing solutions. Alternatively, you will collaborate with customers to develop products 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 diverse issues across various domains. Specific job responsibilities Utilizing your experience in the procurement and inventory management 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 and quickly catch up on the business domain. - As an excellent team player, contribute to the growth of customers through the solutions provided. - Abstract solutions to various problems faced by customers in a reusable form, contributing to the evolution of the Tailor Platform. Attractiveness 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 development — insights gained in the field can be fed back into the improvement of 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. - An AI/LLM native development environment — we have already introduced major AI/LLM services and agents. You will also be involved in building custom agents for our company.
