Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolYuya Kanai is a bilingual Japanese software engineer and tech lead with 8 years of full-stack experience building SaaS and AI-enhanced products that have reached up to ¥100M ARR and contributed to a ¥10B-revenue goal. He is strongest in Typescript and Rust and blends hands-on coding (Node.js, React, Python, Rust) with product-minded leadership—often filling roles such as PM, Scrum Master, translator, and UX designer to keep teams shipping. At ExaWizards he led multiple products from zero to revenue-generating stages, redesigned sales experiences with AI, and investigated client-side STT to cut server costs. Raised partly in the U.S. and trained in creative coding and media, he brings an unusual mix of creative product instincts and disciplined engineering culture-building. Ambitious about scaling teams and taking a product to ¥100M ARR, he prefers senior opportunities aligned with that impact and compensation level.
