About the Company

Liberating humankind from simple, repetitive, and unsafe physical labor. "TELEXISTENCE" is a concept that was first proposed in 1980 by Dr. Susumu Tachi, Professor Emeritus of the University of Tokyo and the chairman of TX inc, which refers to the notion of humans being in a place other than where he or she actually exists and being able to act freely in that remote environment - essentially expanding the presence of human beings - as well as the technological systems that make this possible. Our mission at TX inc is to change robotics, change structures, and change the world. テレイグジスタンス TELEXISTENCE/遠隔存在 とは TX incの創業者の一人でTX会長でもある東京大学名誉教授 舘暲氏が1980年に世界で初めて提唱した 人間が 自分自身が現存する場所とは異なった場所に実質的に存在し その場所で自在に行動するという人間の存在拡張の概念であり また それを可能とするための技術体系です TX incのミッションは ロボットを変え 構造を変え 世界をかえることです Robotics Engineering Specialties: Robotics, VR, Telexistence, AI, Automation, Teleoperation, Retail Automation, Logistic Automation

About the Role

As a Lead Frontend Engineer, you will own the end-to-end direction of our frontend applications used across convenience-store robotics operations. You will collaborate closely with business teams to clarify requirements, work with designers on implementation-ready specifications, and lead the prototyping implementation release workflow. You will guide two existing frontend engineers as a player-coach while continuing to contribute hands-on.

Responsibilities

  • ● primarily for Japanese end users. While Japanese managers and business stakeholders can communicate in English, a significant portion of the input information and business context is in Japanese.
  • ● Team & Platform Context
  • ● The Challenge: Software Meets Hardware
  • ● Because our software applications (spanning both frontend and backend) serve as the direct interface for end-users, we face a constant stream of diverse and evolving requirements. You will work in a unique environment where software speed meets hardware reality:
  • ● Bridging the Cycle Gap: Hardware and Automation development cycles are inherently longer than pure software. You will often need to devise creative software workarounds to mitigate hardware issues or implement "virtual" features to validate business value before hardware is ready.
  • ● Elevating Engineering Standards: While teams in other specialized domains are experts in their fields, they may be less familiar with modern SaaS practices or non-functional requirements (NFRs). You will act as a bridge, supporting other teams with general software development know-how and ensuring the overall system is robust and scalable.
  • ● This role requires more than just coding; it demands the flexibility to navigate constraints and the leadership to raise the bar for software engineering across the organization.
  • ● Company-Wide Tech Stack
  • ● Frontend: TypeScript, React, C, Blazor, (Tailwind, shadcn)
  • ● Backend: .NET
  • ● Cloud Infra: Terraform, Azure, Kubernetes
  • ● Data Stores: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
  • ● IoT/Edge: .NET, C++, Python, ROS, NVIDIA Jetson AGX, IoT boards
  • ● CI/CD: GitHub Actions, SonarQube, Ansible
