Geeks Co., Ltd. to Host Free Seminar for IT Engineers and Development Organization Managers: "Beyond Implementation Skills: What is Demanded? The Engineer's Image to Forge the Next Career in the AI Era"

Geeks Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Naruhito Sonehara; hereinafter “Geeks”) will hold a free seminar for IT engineers from 19:30 to 21:00 on Thursday, May 21, 2026, titled “Beyond Implementation Skills: What is Demanded? The Engineer's Image to Forge the Next Career in the AI Era.” Background of the Seminar Geeks regularly conducts seminars for IT engineers and IT engineer recruitment personnel. This time, focusing on the theme of “Survival Strategy in the AI Era and Domain Knowledge,” we will have Ms. Shiho Toyonori of Fast Doctor Co., Ltd., which operates Japan’s largest medical support platform, as our speaker. From her perspective, having transitioned from an AI tech company to a field close to the front lines of medical care, she will discuss the realities of prototyping, technological intervention in medical settings (a high-difficulty domain), and engineer career strategies “beyond just writing code.” We encourage participation from those who want to learn about practical use cases of AI-driven development, those who want to catch up on leading examples of how to translate complex business requirements into systems through domain-driven design, and engineers interested in careers such as PdM or BizDev. As generative AI dramatically streamlines the development process, the true value required of engineers is shifting towards the question of “what to solve” and a deep understanding of the domain. Through this seminar, we will present the image of a next-generation engineer who utilizes AI to solve on-site problems and the possibilities for their career.

Part 2: Survival Strategy in the AI Era (from the perspective of a former AI tech company) - Macro perspective: Changes in engineer market value due to AI evolution and the “transcendent” skills required in the future. - Micro perspective: Why did I jump from an AI tech company to “the field” (Fast Doctor)? - Mindset shift from “writing code” to “translating business problems with technology.” Part 3: Practicing AI Prototyping in Non-Engineer Domains - The quality and speed of prototyping in business-side (non-engineer) domains, made possible by engineering experience. - Verbalization of “field-driven development principles” obtained through efforts, in a form that participants can take back to their own companies. - How ultra-high-resolution feedback directly from the field dramatically changed development speed and product quality.
