【About the company】

The company was established in May 2012 to solve the money issues of individuals and companies through the services, and to make users' lives more positive and forward-thinking.

Through their services, they aim to become the No. 1 "money platform" in Japan by relieving individuals of their money worries and anxieties, improving corporate management, and increasing domestic productivity.

【 Job Description】

Overview

At the company, they primarily develop and offer the B2B service. It is a component-based cloud ERP that allows users to choose combinations based on their needs and is composed of multiple service groups. However, if these service groups are developed individually, it can lead to data silos, a decline in user experience, and reduced development efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to strategically standardize these services. The company's Business Platform Development department is responsible for building this common foundation and promoting its stable use across services.

The company is currently seeking a Senior Backend Engineer for the Workflow Platform Development department, which provides workflow functions used by various services within the business platform. The expectations for workflows vary depending on the matters and culture handled by each user company, and they aim to meet these expectations as much as possible. At the same time, as the system becomes more complex with enhanced functionality, it is essential for medium- to long-term growth to organize the system logic and improve maintainability. Furthermore, by optimizing data management and architecture, they aim to ensure system reliability and scalability, balance these aspects, create a truly user-focused optimal workflow system, and maximize the workflow experience of the company's series.

This position will play a crucial role in creating the developer experience and reliability of the common platform service. Additionally, depending on personal preferences, there is an environment where one can actively take on roles beyond backend development, such as SRE and DevOps.
