Taiyaki Studios

We’re building new pipelines for anime production. Join us and empower animators to focus on the fulfilling stuff - story, character design, art direction, cinematography - and take the grunt work off their plate. Our tools are being used to produce original content in-house, so you’ll get to work directly with animators and help make anime! Ideal candidate: nimble problem solver, comfortable learning how to build tools that integrate with existing industry-standard software, even if you’ve never used said software before. We value fast learners who are language agnostic. Bonus: Python, ComfyUI experience. Japanese proficiency not required, though nice to have. We’ll pay for weekly lessons if you want them. If you need visa sponsorship, you’ll need a bachelor’s or 10 years experience. Not our requirement, gov’t requirement. We’ll help with all relocation logistics. We pay 20M JPY/yr (~$125k/yr) + equity, 3-4X median salary in Tokyo, you’ll live in luxury or save a good chunk of your salary. What have you shipped, tinkered with, or hacked together?
