【 Job Description 】

【"Unleashing the potential of the manufacturing industry" through technology】
In the manufacturing industry, which is said to be worth 180 trillion yen in Japan, many manufacturers and their supply partners have been constrained by a variety of reasons, including being too busy with quotation and management tasks, lacking sales capabilities, and lacking information and networks, and are unable to fully utilize their original development and technological capabilities.

The company's mission is to unleash the potential of each company by resolving these constraints from various aspects.

In order to achieve this goal, we need to utilize technology mainly in areas that have not yet been digitized, so that all manufacturing companies, whether they are small town factories, large-scale manufacturers with a long history, or start-up companies just starting out, can utilize their strengths to shine and create a lot of new value. Why don't you use your technology to achieve such a future?

【"Unleashing the potential of the manufacturing industry" at the back end of the system】
In the manufacturing industry, which the company is trying to digitize and systemize, there are still many areas where there is no clear pattern or solution. Defining and improving these areas, even if only slightly, will lead to clarifying and improving the operations of the manufacturing industry itself. This will require robust and moderately flexible system development through data design that is open to change and implementation that is easy to reuse.

What the company develops is a business system, but because it is a business system, it should be an abstraction of the actual business of the people who use it. The company believes that understanding the business process and its components well and choosing the appropriate data structure and design will redefine the business of the users and lead to optimized business.

・Design of algorithms and interfaces with front-end systems

【Ideal Applicants】
＜A point of bold challenge and excellence＞
The company is currently trying out the area of "high-mix low-volume production procurement" in the manufacturing industry. Because there has been little innovation in this area so far, there is a lot of room for improvement in business processes, but at the same time, there are many tasks that have not been standardized. It is necessary to collaborate with the business side members to continue hypothesis testing for the ideal business process, and for this purpose, there is a challenge to continue building robust and moderately flexible server-side applications.

In addition, as the coverage of clients and projects continues to expand and the scale of transactions continues to grow rapidly, the data handled by the system continues to increase. Please challenge yourself to create an architecture that not only has the robustness of a system that stores data properly, but also has an eye on the future utilization of data.

≪Required≫
・Sympathy for unleashing the potential of the manufacturing industry
・Experience in backend development of web applications (statically typed language is preferred)
・Basic knowledge of data structures and algorithms
・Experience using relational databases
・Experience in at least two programming languages (including front-end)
・Experience in development using public cloud such as AWS, GCP, etc.
・Team development skills using Git/GitHub

≪Preferred≫
・Experience developing in languages with strong static typing and functional elements, such as Rust and Scala
・Experience in microservices design, development, and operation
・Experience in security-conscious web development
・Experience in designing and developing large scale services
・Experience using container technologies such as Docker
