Spellbrush (YCW18) builds state-of-the-art AI foundational models for anime and video games.
We probably spends 10x more compute on anime than anyone else in the industry - we think our results over at nijijourney.com speak for themselves.
Looking to both expand our game development team and our AI research and data processing teams.
JAX and TPU experiences are a plus.

We’re building new pipelines for anime production. Join us and empower animators to focus on the fulfilling stuff - story, character design, art direction, cinematography - and take the grunt work off their plate.
Our tools are being used to produce original content in-house, so you’ll get to work directly with animators and help make anime!
Ideal candidate: nimble problem solver, comfortable learning how to build tools that integrate with existing industry-standard software, even if you’ve never used said software before. We value fast learners who are language agnostic.
Bonus: Python, ComfyUI experience.
Japanese proficiency not required, though nice to have. We’ll pay for weekly lessons if you want them.
If you need visa sponsorship, you’ll need a bachelor’s or 10 years experience. Not our requirement, gov’t requirement. We’ll help with all relocation logistics.
We pay 20M JPY/yr (~$125k/yr) + equity, 3-4X median salary in Tokyo, you’ll live in luxury or save a good chunk of your salary.
