Job details

Company overview

Our client provides financial web services, aiming to alleviate the financial concerns and anxieties of individuals and businesses through the power of technology, and become the ultimate "money platform" for everyone.
Our main services include automated household accounting and asset management for individuals, economic media, and a financial product comparison platform. For businesses, we offer cloud services and B2B deferred payment services.

Responsibilities

Main responsibilities:

• The Group sets forth the product vision of "advancing the advisory experience for professionals," recognizing the significant role professionals play in the growth of small and medium-sized businesses.
• However, a considerable amount of time is often spent on paper-based management tasks such as receipt management and various application form preparations, limiting resources for advisory services.
• Since our inception, we have aimed to promote the digital transformation of SMEs through our back-office SaaS series, giving priority to our professional partners. As of 2023, our cloud accounting service is the No.1 choice among accounting firms, capturing a 45% market share.
• Our current goal is to extend new value to professionals, allowing them to direct more focus toward supporting the business growth of SMEs. We employ Scrum development without dividing team roles between backend and frontend, welcoming engineers who are full-stack or specialized in either backend or frontend but eager to transition to full-stack roles.
• English will become the primary language for development by fiscal year 2025, although some initial phases are still conducted in Japanese. Conversational Japanese is a plus.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
