 仕事内容Job description |
◆Overview
They’re the creators of the award-winning skill evaluation and training platform. They are currently tackling the exciting mission of modernizing Japan's hiring culture and helping companies build and maintain strong engineering teams. Through this year and beyond they plan to expand their product lineup, enhance their UI/UX, roll out new microservices, and build new features which they hope you’ll be a big part of the planning and building.
◆Why they are looking for Backend engineers
The company aims to provide the missing link that their clients need to scout, hire, and train world-class engineers. They are profitable, privately owned, and headquartered in Tokyo, Japan. Their clients include some of the biggest names in Japan. They have a diverse team from all corners of the world and they are looking for a skilled backend engineer to help us expand their service, a platform that helps companies train and evaluate technical skills.
◆The Attractiveness of the Position
・Awesome tech!
One particular aspect that makes us proud of their team is the fact that they use modern technologies with development practices such as code reviews, continuous integration, unit tests, etc. Engineers feel welcome here.
・Work-life balance
They encourage team members to have other activities and responsibilities in life, the average engineer works 40 hours a week. They have flex time, maternity/paternity leave, etc which is something a lot of their proud new parents really appreciate.
・Choose where you work
They are set up for remote work, but you are more than welcome to come to their modern office in Shibuya, Tokyo.
・International environment
They have people from all corners of the world working together to build the best products possible. Most Engineers use English day to day, but the perfect candidate will be able to navigate and negotiate their international work environment while making the transition towards an even more global team smooth for the local members too.
They are very proud of what the company has become. The incredibly low turnover rate of their technology team proves that the company fosters a work culture that is both very supportive and welcoming. They are sure, once you meet the team, you will feel it too!
◆Technology Stack
Serverside: Scala
Frontend: React, Typescript
Database: PostgreSQL (RDS)
Infrastructure: AWS(ALB, ECS, RDS, S3, Lambda), Docker, Redis, Terraform
◆Responsibilities
・Architect, develop, maintain, and test new and existing backend features for the company’s platform primarily using Scala.
・Collaborate with your team to evaluate and clarify product requirements, delivering technical solutions that align with user needs.
・Participate in strategic decision-making to propose optimal and efficient solutions.
・Work closely with a diverse, distributed engineering team to uphold a high-quality code base and continuously learn from and mentor each other.
・Monitor and respond promptly to any production issues to ensure the stable operation of their services. (**They take pride in releasing high-quality, bug-free code. Production incidents are extremely rare and mostly handled during core work hours.)
◆Work style
・Weekly Meetings (usually averages to around 1 hour per day for an engineer):
1 stand up every morning lasting a maximum 15 minutes
2-3 hours worth of agile meetings (Sprint planning, backlog clarification, sprint retrospective, sprint review (we call this dogfooding)
Any other meeting relating to a project (usually 1 or 2 hours)
・Technical Work (is up to the discretion of the engineer, we don’t dictate how they spend their time)
Programming and planning (technical documentation) is the majority of an engineer's time
People usually do peer reviews before or after lunch
Technical improvements depending on your team’s priority
