Taiyaki Studios | Anime Pipeline Engineer | Tokyo | On-site Full Time | Will Sponsor Visa

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? Let us know: careers@taiyakistudios.com



Hi, I'm interested in the opportunity. I already sent an email, and I'm wondering if there are any social media or platforms that I can get in contact with to ask some questions and maybe learn more details about the position.


Hello, I've sent you an email, I'm really interested in this job. Would also love to learn Japanese as a language.


this pay is way too low for a job that is effectively automating out inbetweeners. I have python experience and extensive ComfyUI experience. I will not be applying.
