仕事内容Job description As Technology Department Head of the Development Business Division, you will leverage your past experience and strengths to lead from one of the following: technology, organization, or business.
This position involves driving the growth of your department in collaboration with the Division Head and Group Leaders.
|1. Technical Decision-Making / Project Promotion
Technical decision-making for application architecture, including frontend and backend
Consideration of overall system technology strategy, including data infrastructure and AI utilization
Development promotion in cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
Advancing development systems from a DevOps / SRE perspective
Technical support and turnaround of high-difficulty and challenging projects
As the technical leader of SHIFT, you will be responsible for important decisions aimed at project success.
|2. Organizational Management
Oversight of a department of approximately 180–240 people
Evaluation, development, and organization building
You will build a technically strong organization and take responsibility for developing the next generation of leaders.
|3. Business Promotion
Sales and profit responsibility
Accompanying sales activities and client proposals
Creating new services and promoting business growth
This position connects technical decisions to business growth.
Appeal
|1. Shape the future of development while utilizing your experience
This position allows you to build a new model of SI / DX premised on AI, leveraging your experience in development and management.
SHIFT is challenging itself to transform, moving beyond conventional development models: from AI-driven development, to legacy modernization, and to breaking away from multi-layered subcontracting structures.
Rather than simply extending the past, you can experience the satisfaction of personally creating the development standards of the future.
|2. Engage directly in technical and organizational decision-making
With close proximity to management, you can shape the direction of the department yourself through ongoing discussion.
Rather than "coordination for the sake of coordination," which often occurs in large organizations, you can spend your time on essential issues such as technical decisions, organization building, project promotion, and business growth.
You will experience your own decisions being directly reflected in the organization and business.
|3. Build on your career achievements toward your next stage of growth
At SHIFT, many people take on challenges at the forefront regardless of age or past roles, using their experience as a strength.
This environment is for those who think, "I still want to be involved in technical work," "I want to tackle difficult themes," or "I want to decide my career on my own," allowing them to continue taking on new challenges while leveraging their experience.
|4. Move the organization's growth forward yourself
The organization is currently in the middle of growth.
Rather than preserving a completed organization, we are in a phase of continuous improvement to build a better form.
Within this, your knowledge and decisions will have a significant impact as a driving force for the organization.
This is a position where you can experience both the expansion of your own career and the growth of the organization.

Background of recruitment: Vision of the Development Division of the Development Headquarters
| SHIFT's strengths and new challenges
SHIFT has so far driven transformation in the IT industry, leveraging the expertise it has built in quality assurance and software testing.
Currently, as its next challenge, SHIFT is working to solve the following structural issues facing society as a whole, based on its SI development expertise.
Escaping multi-layered subcontracting structures
Establishing an agile development framework that eliminates rework
Renewing legacy systems
Promoting corporate DX
To make this a reality, the "Development Headquarters," which brings together SHIFT's development capabilities, launched in January 2026.
| Role of the Development Division
The Development Division, which plays a central role, has many highly specialized technical talents and is responsible for strengthening SHIFT's overall technical capabilities and enhancing service value.
Main initiatives are as follows.
Application and architecture design, including frontend/backend
Integration of AI/LLM
Cloud infrastructure construction using AWS/Azure/Google Cloud
Advancement of development processes including DevOps/SRE
▼How to control AI as intended? "SDD×TDD" practical techniques that achieved a 40% reduction in man-hours on real projects
| The importance of technical leaders in the AI era
Meanwhile, with the evolution of AI, in development sites it is becoming more important not only to decide "how to use AI," but also to determine what should be judged as technology after utilizing AI.
In fact, cases are increasing where projects become unstable because technical assessments were insufficient.
That is why what is needed now is a technical leader who has deep technical knowledge and can handle project judgment, organizational management, and business promotion.
SHIFT is recruiting a Head of Engineering who understands both technology and management and will lead SHIFT's development organization in the AI era.
