While engineers are assigned to each business, we recognized the need for individuals who can drive technological and organizational strategies across the company to more powerfully realize our vision of "a world where engineers can continue to take on challenges." Therefore, we are establishing a Development Promotion team directly under the CTO, equipped with both agility and expertise. Within this team, this position will play a role akin to a guerrilla unit, directly engaging with and working within each of our internal product teams.

In response to the evolution of AI, we are also actively investing in new businesses. Depending on the organization's needs, we expect you to take on the role of technical lead from the inception of new ventures through to their growth. ▍Challenges and Goals - To become a key player in making swift, situation-appropriate technical decisions for businesses of varying scales and phases, thereby accelerating business growth. - To abstract technical challenges that tend to become siloed within individual businesses and create "common patterns" that can be leveraged across the organization for collective growth. - To be agile in supporting teams in their early stages or those facing difficulties, and to rebuild situations by hands-on involvement. ▍Specific Responsibilities You will play a role in advancing engineering from both technical and organizational perspectives across multiple internal businesses. Depending on the business phase, you will lead the organization of technical challenges, strengthening of development systems, and maximization of product value. - Engage with product teams in their early stages, those with staffing shortages, or those facing difficulties, and rebuild situations through hands-on implementation. - Provide ad-hoc support and lead the resolution of specific technical challenges or projects. - Lead technology selection and architecture design in alignment with product strategy. - Identify technical debt and development process issues, and drive improvements (including reviews and non-functional requirements). - Abstract knowledge from individual businesses and establish "common patterns" that can be utilized across the organization. - Collaborate with the CTO and business leaders to plan and execute technical strategy and development organizational strategy. - Provide technical leadership and establish initial organizational structures for new business development. ▍Culture ◎ Development driven by engineers Engineers prioritize and drive product development.
