Job Description
【Overview】
The company's product is responsible for spreading teamwork around the world, embodying the corporate philosophy of "creating a society rich in teamwork." It is used by over 30,000 customers both domestically and internationally as a business improvement platform that supports all types of work for all types of people and organizations.
While the product is highly regarded in Japan as a B2B SaaS developed domestically, it is still just one of many startups on the global stage. There is still much work to be done to grow it into a globally adopted product. They need to enhance the value the product offers to compete domestically and globally, which includes features for anyone to easily create business apps with no-code/low-code, functions for developers to customize apps with programming, and communication features to promote information sharing within and across teams.
The Engineering Manager is responsible for driving the growth of product development and achieving the further scale-up of the organization. You will be involved in large-scale development activities within a product development organization that exceeds 100 members. As the scale increases, the importance of team alignment and connection to business strategy grows, making the role of the Engineering Manager ever more critical.
This team offers a challenging environment for an Engineering Manager, where you can autonomously run team operations aligned with the business strategy across both the organizational and business aspects.
The Engineering Manager role is broadly divided into three areas:
1) Team EM (Team Lead)
2) Cross-Application EM
3) Overall EM (Engineering lead for the entire kintone business)
To support the product's continued growth, the company is recruiting for new members across the Team EM and Cross-Application EM positions. These two roles have different scopes and responsibilities, offering opportunities that align with your specific skills and aspirations.
You will start as a team engineer, engaging in development work while deepening your understanding of the product, development processes, and the organization. Following this, you will transition into a manager or leader role for a development team (typically 3 to 10 members). The detailed scope of the work—whether you are a playing manager or purely focused on management—will be determined through discussion, based on your preference.
They welcome applications from those who resonate with the company's philosophy and are ready to contribute to development.
