kaixhin · x · 2026-09-18
Sakana AI researcher kaixhin describes FIG as a collective rather than a team, welcoming researchers with different viewpoints—especially neuroscientists and cognitive scientists—to join its NeuroAI efforts; FIG doesn't hire directly, but anyone joining the research division can participate.
Meanwhile Sakana AI's careers page lists multiple openings in Tokyo spanning research, product, and GTM roles: Forward Deployed Engineer and sales positions for products like Sakana Marlin, Sakana Namazu, and Sakana Fugu, an Applied Research Engineer role focused on autonomous agents and multi-agent LLM systems, and full-stack software engineering roles—most full-time, some with intern options, requiring Japanese or English.
