HireRoo and Stamen Join Forces for Insightful AI Event

In the rapidly evolving tech landscape, the significance of skills and adaptability in engineering organizations is paramount. On June 5, 2025, HireRoo, a renowned platform that facilitates engineering talent acquisition in Tokyo, collaborated with Stamen Inc. for a pivotal event titled "Transforming Engineering Organizations and Skill Assessments in the Age of AI".

The event featured Takuya Noguchi, CTO of Stamen, and Keito Takashiba, COO of HireRoo, who shared their expert insights and real-world experiences regarding how organizations can adapt to the increasing integration of artificial intelligence in their structures.

Understanding AI's Role in Engineering Teams

One of the key points discussed was the importance of accepting AI not just as a tool but as an integral team member.

Noguchi emphasized that teams must not perceive AI as a detached entity but rather embrace it as a collaborative partner within the group. This shift in mindset demands enhanced communication skills, as precise requirement definition and task design become more critical in an AI-driven environment. Stamen has already integrated AI tools accessible to every engineer, thereby boosting productivity and enabling engineers to contribute effectively.

New Skills Required for Engineers in the AI Era

The conversation transitioned to the evolving skillset required for engineers navigating the AI landscape.

Unchanging Skills:
- Effective communication with colleagues.
- The ability to clarify vague requirements and translate them into practical implementations.

Evolving Skills:
- Literacy to efficiently utilize AI tools.
- Adaptability to rapidly changing technologies.
- Critical thinking as a "Product Engineer" with a product management perspective.

The event highlighted a significant trend: engineers who can go beyond mere coding based on specifications and suggest improvements from a business viewpoint will increasingly be valued in the workforce.

Recruitment and Development in the AI Era

During the Q&A session, participants raised concerns about how reliance on AI might obscure an individual engineer's unique qualities and the challenges of nurturing talent in System Engineering Services (SES).

Both Noguchi and Takashiba reiterated the necessity of seeking and developing passionate individuals eager for growth, even amidst an AI-dominated landscape. The human attributes of critical thinking, dialogic skills, and adaptability continue to be vital for engineers today.

As the event concluded, the clear message resonated: despite AI becoming a mainstay in engineering processes, the demand for innovative and engaged human thinkers remains crucial. Engineers who combine technical skills with a business perspective and excellent communication abilities will undoubtedly lead the charge in the future.
