Overview
About the position
We are recruiting for a senior backend engineer to be a primary contributor to the ID Platform group in the Business Platform Development Department.
The ID platform group develops business-critical microservices that support the entire Money Forward Cloud product suite. The primary user management service this team develops handles tens of millions of requests per day, supporting over 40 different products. We hope to find a candidate with a platform engineering mindset, excited to make an impact on widely used services.
About the team
Money Forward Business Company - Business Platform Development Department - Core Platform Development Division - ID Platform Group.
This team primarily develops authorization, user management, and audit log platform microservices. The team closely collaborates with both MFC product teams, and other platform engineering teams (ex: the MFID authentication system team). The primary backend languages are Ruby and Golang – we are hoping for someone with at least expertise in one and enthusiasm to learn the other.

Responsibilities and Duties
As a senior backend engineer, you will design and implement microservices in Golang and Ruby that handle identity management for Money Forward Cloud applications.

You will also help guide our customer teams (other Money Forward Cloud product engineering teams) through the integration process of the APIs we build. Previous experience in building authentication / authorization systems is not necessary but will be helpful.
You will also bring experience in operating services in production, a sense of ownership, and opinions on how to provide highly reliable and available platform services.
MoneyForward aims to fully transition to English for development from the fiscal year 2025. Communication and documentation within the Business Platform Department development teams is already primarily in English.
