Recruitment Background & Expected Role
CADDi is on a mission to "Unleash the potential of manufacturing."
We operate "CADDi DRAWER," a cloud-based system that supports digital transformation centered on the use of drawings, which are the most essential data in the manufacturing industry.
One of the issues we are currently facing in the development of this rapidly growing product is developer productivity. The inefficiencies in the development environment have become more noticeable, and they are becoming a hindrance to the development of features and a degradation of the developer experience. As an activity to resolve these issues, the need for Platform Engineering is increasing.
There are various interpretations and approaches to Platform Engineering in the world, but here, we will be working on providing tools and infrastructure to increase the development velocity by “separating concerns.”
Examples of anticipated tasks (not limited to)
Among these, in this post, you will be working on the following tasks
- Build API and batch execution environments for running machine learning model inference, as well as deployment environments using CI/CD.
- Implement monitoring, performance tuning, and other improvements to enhance site reliability in production environments.
- Optimize the cost of inference and training platforms.
- Create the deployment and operation processes based on input from the modeling and platform teams.
- Actively experiment with new ML, MLOps, and infrastructure tools, quickly validating ideas through proof-of-concepts and applying what works to real company products.
* Besides the team we are recruiting for this time, you may be assigned to other teams depending on your experience and preferences. (In that case, we would be happy to discuss this with you at the interview.)
* After joining the company, your role may change due to organizational growth or an individual's career perspective.
Interest and experience gained from this position
- Close collaboration with ML engineers and product management members, allowing you to expand your responsibilities depending on your interests and initiative.
- The fun of integrating a complex domain into a system
- Experience in solving difficult problems with highly motivated team members
- Experience in contributing to the scale of a product with technical skills
- Experience in developing products that are deployed globally
- Experience in providing value to society through the development of products that change
Organization
- Currently, the Analysis Platform team focuses on supporting modeling, ML serving, and operational workflows. Looking ahead, we aim not only to reduce the cognitive and operational burden around machine learning, but also to build a robust foundation for ML verification—ultimately shortening the lead time needed to validate business value.
- To achieve this, the Analysis Platform team will expand its scope beyond traditional MLOps. We will take on broader challenges such as improving annotation efficiency and developing mechanisms that enable faster and more reliable value validation.
MUST-HAVE REQUIREMENTS
- 5+ years of professional experience as a software engineer
- Experience leading software development
- We especially value experience leading design, development, operations, and the necessary communication involved in roles such as team lead or project driver, regardless of project size
- At least 2 years of experience in ONE or more of the following:
- Developing shared platforms or backend systems using cloud infrastructure.
- Designing and operating Machine Learning systems (MLOps) with consideration for latency, cost, and non-functional requirements.
- Developing Generative AI applications using LLMs, RAG architectures, and Vector Databases.
- Hands-on experience with statically typed programming languages (such as TypeScript, Rust, Java/Kotlin, Go, etc)
- General understanding of the core Computer Science concepts behind AI (such as Vector Space, Embeddings, or Inference) and the ability to leverage these principles to build and integrate AI-driven features into software platforms.
- Experience in development using public cloud platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, etc.
- Fluent business communication skills in English, able to complete daily tasks in English, including text communication and meetings.（CEFR B1 or Higher level)
- Must currently reside in Vietnam or have plans to relocate. Foreign nationals must also hold a valid Vietnam work permit or be legally eligible to work in Vietnam.
NICE-TO-HAVE REQUIREMENTS
- Experience developing machine learning pipelines using tools such as Vertex AI Pipelines, Kubeflow, Apache Beam, or Spark
- Familiarity with at least one ML/AI framework such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.
- Development experience related to MLOps or SRE
- Experience collaborating with ML engineers to continuously improve and deliver machine learning and data science models
- Experience building and operating systems such as Data Lakes or Feature Stores
- Experience implementing initiatives to improve data quality for data-centric ML model improvement
- Experience planning and driving data utilization initiatives—internally or externally—using tools such as BigQuery or Redash
- Basic knowledge of algorithms related to machine learning, statistics, linear algebra, and computer science
- Experience working with Scrum or Agile methodologies.
- Conversational-level Japanese proficiency(Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2 or above is a guideline)
