DevOps Engineer

About the company

DeepX is a dynamic tech company in Tokyo that automates heavy equipment machinery.

Some of our key achievements are the automation of point-to-point operations of a mobile crane in cooperation with Tadano, one of the largest manufacturers of mobile cranes in Japan, and the automation of an excavator in cooperation with Fujita, one of the major general contractors. With our technology, we are addressing the problem of labor shortage, which is one of the most severe challenges in Japan.

DeepX is highly international, hosting engineers from both Japan and all over the world, and our internal language is English. We believe that organizational strength comes from the diversity of ideas and welcome competent individuals from all backgrounds.

We understand that a healthy work-life balance is crucial for company performance, so we don't expect overtime and encourage open communication with employees.
