This year at Sakana AI, we built and shipped more products than I would have believed possible: Sakana Chat, Namazu, Sakana Translate, Sakana Marlin, Fugu, Fugu Cyber, and Fugu Max. We created a Product Team from zero and proved that a research lab born in Tokyo can ship world-class AI products at speed.
Now we are at the next inflection point. We are deploying our products into the hands of enterprises, manufacturers, financial institutions, and government agencies, in Japan and internationally.
As such, we are massively expanding our GTM team.
We are looking for two key roles:
1. Product Sales & Account Executive: someone who can build a product-driven enterprise sales motion from scratch, navigate complex procurement in Japan and globally, and close large deals without losing the product soul.
2. Forward Deployed Engineer (GTM): an engineer who can deploy our products inside customer environments, lead PoCs to production, contribute learnings back to the product, and turn one customer's success into a playbook for the next ten.
These are key, founding roles in the team that will define how Sakana AI interfaces with the world.
If you want to build something from zero in an environment where product, research, and GTM are not silos, check out our open roles:
