Jobs at Enthought, Inc. (Now Hiring) — 6 open

We are hiring a Scientific Software Developer to join our client-facing solution delivery team. Working agent-first, you will pair deep scientific expertise with agentic AI coding tools to move from research question to working software — building data-driven models, AI-based decision-support tools, and analysis pipelines for the world’s leading R&D organizations. This is a client-facing role serving Japan’s leading enterprises, so native-level Japanese fluency is essential.

Key Responsibilities

• Design end-to-end scientific solutions — apply deep knowledge of statistics, optimization, machine learning, and related areas to translate client R&D problems into architectures spanning data, models, and user-facing applications.
• Work agent-first — use AI coding assistants and autonomous coding agents as your default way to explore data, prototype models, build software, write tests, and produce documentation, compressing the path from research question to working solution.
• Direct AI agents like a technical lead — decompose scientific and engineering problems into well-scoped tasks, give agents the domain context and scientific constraints they need, and iterate toward correct, defensible results.
• Solve complex research and product-development problems in close collaboration with client researchers and business leaders.
• Build data-driven models, AI-based decision-support tools, and automated analysis pipelines, and assemble them into web-based solutions involving GUIs, 2D and 3D graphics, and cloud computing.
• Design AI-enabled and agentic capabilities into client solutions where they add value — held to the same rigor as any other component.
• Apply judgment about where AI and generative approaches fit and where they don’t, balancing speed against reliability and reproducibility.
• Take part in collaborative development practices — code review, architecture reviews, sprint planning, retrospectives, and daily standups — and interface directly with clients to define, demonstrate, and refine solutions.
• Handle client data and intellectual property responsibly, using AI tools only in approved, secure configurations.
• Communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders in Japanese and English.

What We Offer

• Meaningful impact — your work directly advances scientific breakthroughs, from accelerating drug discovery to developing sustainable materials.
• A front-row seat to agentic AI — work at an automation-first company where every role directs AI tools, and help define how the industry puts them to work.
• World-class colleagues — collaborate with some of the smartest, kindest scientists and engineers around.
• Continuous learning — access to Enthought’s training programs in Python, machine learning, and scientific computing.
• A global, collaborative culture across our Tokyo, Austin, and Cambridge offices.
• Flexible hybrid work based out of our Tokyo office.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.

Who Thrives Here

Everyone at Enthought shares a common set of traits: exceptional integrity, analytic intelligence, a sense of urgency, the ability to simplify the complex, openness in communication, empathy for people, and endurance. If you are endlessly curious, take full ownership of your work, and are excited to help shape how science gets done in the era of agentic AI, you will feel at home here.
