Overview
At MFBC (Money Forward Business Company), we primarily develop and operate the B2B service "Money Forward Cloud". Money Forward Cloud is a component-based cloud ERP where users can choose combinations according to their needs, and it consists of multiple products. However, if multiple products are developed individually, it leads to data fragmentation, a decline in the combined user experience, and worsening development efficiency. Therefore, strategic standardization is necessary. Our Business Platform Development Department is responsible for building this common platform and promoting its stable use by each product.
This recruitment is for an Engineering Manager in the Domain Specific Platform Development Division of the Business Platform Development Department. Compared to purely technical platforms like authentication and notifications, the Domain Specific Platform Development Division is responsible for developing and operating platforms that deeply handle domain knowledge, such as voucher storage for receipts and invoices, and chart of accounts masters. We expect you to grasp future company strategies, the current state of the platform, and the needs of each product team, then draw up the optimal strategy and lead the creation of an engineering organization to execute it.
The Business Platform Development Department has multinational engineers from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, Indonesia, Taiwan, and so on. Furthermore, we collaborate closely with engineers belonging to Money Forward Vietnam, requiring the practice of effective organization building in a multicultural and multi-location environment. We are not aiming for so-called offshore development, but rather a flat organization where everyone, regardless of affiliation or location, can commit to product creation with high enthusiasm.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager who is passionate about tackling both technical and organizational challenges.
Responsibilities and Duties
You will be responsible for the following roles and responsibilities in the Domain Specific Platform Development Division:
- Manage a global engineering organization and build an organization that continuously delivers high-quality software.
- Contribute to the growth of the company by maximizing the productivity and growth of the engineering organization with a view to 3-5 years ahead.
- Identify and lead the resolution of technical and organizational issues associated with the growth of the platform and the organization.
- Be responsible for project management of highly important initiatives at the division or department level.
- Deeply understand the company-wide strategy and the requirements of products using the platform, and reflect them in the development roadmap and organizational strategy.
- Collaborate with other managers to address cross-company challenges.
- Conduct people management, including 1-on-1s, monthly evaluations, and semi-annual evaluations.
- Develop and recruit successors and next-generation leaders for the sustainable development of the company and its business.

- Experience maximizing the value provided to users through the development of a platform that impacts over 20 products.
