We are looking for a seasoned Tech Lead who combines deep SaaS platform engineering experience with hands-on, production-grade AI agent development.

You bring at least 8 years of SaaS/Fullstack engineering and 3+ years of production AI/LLM experience . Zoho is a key integration target in our ecosystem, but deep Zoho expertise is not required at entry. We value cloud-native AI engineering, reliable integration design, and the ability to lead a team from concept to production.

Key Responsibilities

• Design agent workflows - tool calling, multi-step reasoning, routing, and guardrails
• Build RAG pipelines covering embedding, retrieval, re-ranking, and evaluation loops
• Define "production quality" standards for AI outputs - fallback handling, human-in-the-loop, and safety rules
• Coordinate with Japan HQ departments to identify business challenges and translate them into AI and SaaS system requirements
• Translate Funai Consulting India methodologies into scalable, AI-powered digital systems
• Propose and present AI and SaaS platform solutions to Japan headquarters for review and adoption
• Conduct architecture reviews and technical support across all internal development projects

Engineering & Operations

• Build backend services and APIs and integrate with business systems (Zoho, GCP, etc.)
• Own reliability patterns: retries, idempotency, structured logging, and re-run design
• Implement monitoring and alerting across quality, latency, error rate, and cost dimensions

Tech Leadership & Team Management

• Lead design reviews and code reviews; create reusable templates and standards
• Assign engineers across development projects; monitor progress and deliverables
• Mentor engineers and help the team ship consistently and with quality
• Manage technical communication with overseas vendors and Zoho partners

Must-Have Skills & Experience

• 10+ years of total engineering experience , combining SaaS platform and backend development
• 8+ years of hands-on SaaS/backend engineering (Python, Node.js, or Java)
• 5+ years of hands-on Experience on FrontEnd Framework(React/Vue/Angular)
• 3+ years of production AI/LLM experience - shipped a real product (not PoC-only) using Gemini, Claude, or OpenAI
• Production experience on GCP or AWS - deployment, monitoring/logging, and IAM basics
• Reliability fundamentals: retries, idempotency, structured logging
• Practical RAG knowledge - embedding, retrieval, and evaluation; experience with a vector DB is a plus
• Experience with AI tool integration - connecting LLMs or AI agents to business systems and workflows
• Team leadership experience - leading a team of 3-5 engineers end-to-end

Preferred Skills

• Japanese communication ability at JLPT N2 or equivalent - ability to discuss and define requirements directly with Japan HQ department heads is a strong advantage
• Experience working in or closely with a Japanese corporate environment - familiarity with Japanese business culture, communication style (Hou-Ren-So), consensus-driven decision-making, and cross-cultural collaboration
• Experience building or integrating MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers to connect agents to Zoho, Google Workspace, or other business tools
• Understanding of RAG grounding strategies for proprietary knowledge bases
