Summary
TokyoDev Talks Vol. 13 is sponsored by Treasure AI and features two speakers from the company. Hiroshi Nakamura, CTO and VP of Engineering, opens with "What I Look for in the Senior Engineers I Want to Work With", covering the qualities he values beyond technical depth: curiosity, ownership, good judgment, and the ability to work well with others, drawn from leading engineering at a company building enterprise data and AI products. Sadayuki Furuhashi, founder of Treasure Data and creator of Fluentd, MessagePack, Embulk, and Digdag, follows with "Building the Architecture Behind Our AI Product", on designing a foundation that connects data, systems, and user experiences while staying flexible enough to evolve with fast-moving AI technology. Doors open at 18:30 with drinks and a light meal, talks run 19:05 to 20:15, and open networking closes the evening from 20:20 to 20:50. The venue is Tokyo Innovation Base in Marunouchi, in the ROOM space at the back of the second floor; attendees also need to complete the free TiB registration, ideally before arriving. Attendance is limited to software developers, people aspiring to become one, and those in adjacent roles such as product managers, UI/UX designers, security engineers, and QA engineers.
About the community

A recurring evening talk series for English-speaking software developers working in Japan, now in its thirteenth edition. Each edition pairs a sponsoring company's engineers with a long open networking block, plus drinks and a light meal, and the guest list is restricted to developers and adjacent roles (product, design, security, QA) so the room stays practitioner-heavy. It suits people on international engineering teams in Tokyo who want to hear how local companies actually build their systems and to meet others doing similar work.
