R&D engineer

Job Summary

The role of this position

To realize our mission, we need to take the following three steps:

1.) Research and development for the practical application of privacy tech (R&D domain)

2.) Implementation of practical software (software development domain)

3.) Provision of services that customers find valuable (business domain)
 

• The R&D engineer is in charge of research and development of what is called “privacy tech” in order to realize #1.
• The R&D Engineer will conduct research and development on all kinds of “privacy tech” technologies and implement the necessary software.
• The R&D engineering team includes members with doctoral degrees and members who have achieved outstanding results in various research fields, and we aim to achieve our mission together with highly specialized members. 

 

Specific Duties

Research, study, development, and demonstration of privacy tech
Implement the results of research and development as software (libraries) (Python/C++/etc...) 

 

Why is the R&D Engineer position at Acompany so exciting?

Both privacy protection and data utilization will be the norm in 10 years.
We believe that it is socially essential to optimize society by utilizing data while protecting privacy.
On the other hand, the methods of realization are sophisticated and challenging, and social implementation and safety evaluation are all difficult, requiring high mathematical ability, ideas, and implementation skills.
We need you as a member of our team to work together with us to create what will be the norm in 10 years from now.
