Security Specialist(Product Security), CISO Office, Tokyo
Overview At Money Forward, we develop a wide range of popular services, including our automated personal financial management tool "Money Forward ME" and the "Money Forward Cloud" suite for businesses. Our ecosystem is powered by advanced technologies such as "Account Aggregation" and our single sign-on system, "Money Forward ID." As our services handle sensitive financial data, we maintain the highest standards of security. The CISO Office works closely with our business units to ensure and enhance the security of our products. This includes the governance and visualization of major cloud platforms like AWS and GCP, as well as the design, implementation, and operation of common security features such as WAF. Additionally, the CISO Office is responsible for strengthening the security of our internal information systems. To provide a safe and secure experience for even more users, we are looking for a Security Specialist to join our team. About the CISO Office Our mission is to "Maximize the value delivered to our customers through security." We define and create the ideal security state for the entire Money Forward Group. Preventing service downtime and information leakage is, of course, critical. However, that is only one part of what we value. Excessive security measures can slow down development, potentially reducing or delaying the value we provide to our customers. As security professionals, we constantly ask ourselves how we can maximize customer value and implement the most optimized security solutions to achieve that goal. Security Principles We consider the ideal state of security and our organization through three core themes: Embedded security in business strategy Security does not exist in a vacuum. We design security measures in alignment with business strategies, taking into account the current business phase, costs, projected revenue, and potential loss in the event of a risk. Advanced balancing between security and experience The highest level of security is not always the "right" answer. Over-securing can increase costs and compromise user convenience. We must assess risks and always consider the most suitable security measures. Instead of simply avoiding risk, we sometimes choose to take calculated risks to pursue maximum user value. To achieve a sophisticated balance between convenience and security, we actively promote automation and autonomous systems. Autonomous and scalable organization of security As the Money Forward Group grows into a larger development organization, we aim to deliver even greater value. If the CISO Office handles every single security function, we will become a bottleneck and fail to scale. Each development department must be able to build secure services autonomously. The CISO Office focuses on building the frameworks and providing the support necessary to enable this autonomy. Responsibilities and Duties In this position, you will leverage your knowledge and experience in coding and infrastructure to maintain and enhance the security of Money Forward in collaboration with developers and IT infrastructure teams. As a Product Security Specialist, you will drive the following initiatives alongside other security specialists in the CISO Office: Establishment of security guardrails for AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. In-house security consulting: Providing technical advice on security and conducting architecture reviews for our developers. Vulnerability assessments and penetration testing: Performing or supporting security evaluations. Vulnerability intelligence: Collecting and verifying vulnerability information, including OSINT (Open Source Intelligence). Security tool development: Developing tools and scripts to automate or enhance security. Framework implementation: Implementing and deploying security frameworks such as NIST CSF and CIS Controls. DevSecOps implementation: Integrating security into modern development workflows, including K8s, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. Required Skills and Experience Foundational understanding of computer science, including networking, operating systems, data structures, and cryptography. Experience in software development with at least one programming language, or hands-on experience practicing Security by Design. Business-level English communication skills. Knowledge or experience in any of the following areas: Vulnerability assessment Penetration testing or Red Teaming operations Forensics, malware analysis, or incident response Cloud security Architecture reviews Building and operating DevSecOps workflows Implementation and operation of security solutions (e.g., WAF, IDS/IPS, SIEM) Preferred Skills and Experience Business-level Japanese communication skills. Experience participating in CTFs (Capture The Flag). Experience in bug hunting or obtaining CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CISM, OSCP, GCIH, etc. Deep understanding of Authentication and Authorization (e.g., OIDC, OAuth). Experience in security-related operations within the Financial or Fintech industry (e.g., knowledge of FISC guidelines). Experience in AI development and/or experience in using AI tools to improve development processes. Money Forward is at a major turning point, shifting "from Cloud to AI." We are currently driving "AX (AI Transformation)"—the next step beyond DX—with the goal of providing "Digital Workers," where AI agents autonomously execute tasks.

Overview As Money Forward continues to scale our product portfolio and engineering organization, strengthening developer productivity has become a strategic priority for the CTO Office and the broader MF Engineering group. We are evolving our developer experience, platforms, and governance to support increasingly complex products and a growing number of engineers in Japan and Vietnam. To accelerate this transformation, we are looking for a Principal Engineer who can take ownership of developer productivity as a company-wide capability. You will be a key partner to the CTO, engineering leadership, and cross-functional stakeholders in defining and executing this strategy. Responsibilities and Duties You will lead developer productivity and developer experience initiatives across Money Forward Cloud and the wider group, working closely with engineering teams in Japan and Vietnam, the CISO and PRE/SRE organizations, as well as Product and management. While architecture and governance leaders own company-wide technical design, you will own how productively developers across the company work and how smoothly they can deliver high-quality software. Bridge the CTO, engineering leadership, and Product to surface real productivity problems, propose data-informed solutions, and align on which value areas to prioritize and invest in first. Make full use of DFP (our Backstage-based developer portal) and evolve it where it provides leverage—so product teams can self-serve common needs such as templates, shared libraries, CI/CD pipelines, standard patterns, and golden paths—treating it as one productivity lever rather than a goal in itself. Define and instrument engineering productivity: select appropriate metrics (such as DORA, SPACE, or team-specific indicators), measure honestly using our productivity-data stack (Apache DevLake, BigQuery, Looker Studio), and use these insights to identify friction points and demonstrate impact. Lead developer-experience and tooling programs end-to-end, including developer tooling, CI/CD and build-time improvements, internal documentation and templates, and especially the rollout of AI tools, agents, and workflows on our internal AI Platform—covering technical design, implementation, and adoption. Identify practices that work well in specific teams and scale them across the organization by codifying patterns, sharing knowledge, and driving adoption through communication, enablement, and change management. Partner with the CISO and PRE/SRE organizations on security and reliability initiatives that touch developer experience, ensuring secure and reliable defaults without owning those mandates directly. Partner with the FinOps owner to embed cost awareness into developer tooling and golden paths, helping teams make cost-effective architectural and operational choices while not owning the overall cost program yourself. Support the architecture and governance review process where it intersects with developer experience, ensuring that standards and guidelines are practical, discoverable, and easy for teams to adopt. Communicate clearly and credibly with both engineers and executives in English and Japanese, including proposals, status updates, decision records, post-implementation reviews, and success stories. Required Skills and Experience Hands-on software engineering experience (including at least one of the following): Experience building and operating developer tools, internal platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and build systems. Experience in SRE, infrastructure, or production engineering. Experience as a Tech Lead in a product or platform team. Experience driving technical changes across multiple teams through influence, without a direct reporting line. Experience collaborating with distributed or remote teams across multiple locations. Proven track record of leading technical design, utilizing experimental approaches, and delivering incremental improvements in a complex, multi-team environment. Strong communication skills in both English and Japanese, with the ability to engage a wide range of stakeholders from executive management to frontline engineers. Preferred Skills and Experience Experience leading multi-team or company-wide initiatives related to Developer Productivity (DevProd/DevEx) or Platform Engineering. Experience designing and operating internal developer portals (e.g., Backstage) and internal platforms (including providing golden paths, templates, and shared services). Practical experience with productivity frameworks (e.g., DORA or SPACE) and designing/tracking meaningful metrics. Experience collecting, transforming, and visualizing engineering data using data pipelines and analytics infrastructure (e.g., Apache DevLake, BigQuery, Looker Studio). Experience collaborating with security, reliability, and operations teams to embed best practices into the development process. Management or Tech Lead experience in a large-scale, multilingual organization spanning Japan and overseas (e.g., Vietnam). Experience using AI-assisted development tools or driving the organizational adoption of AI workflows. Knowledge of FinOps and cloud cost optimization. Experience driving company-wide rollouts and organizational change. Contributions to the tech community (e.g., OSS, tech blogs, speaking at conferences). Experience in AI development and/or experience in using AI tools to improve development processes. Money Forward is at a major turning point, shifting "from Cloud to AI."

Senior Backend Engineer, ML Platform, Tokyo
【Only applicants residing in Japan are eligible to apply.】 Overview Guided by Money Forward AI Vision 2026, Money Forward is driving company-wide AX (AI Transformation) to deliver "digital workers" — AI agents that carry out business operations autonomously. The CDAO Office leads the AI and data strategy that makes this possible across the entire group. This is a dedicated backend engineering role owning the application layer of a credit microservice (a private REST API) used across our Digital Bank and group-company fintech products. The microservice combines aggregated data produced by Databricks, machine learning model endpoints on SageMaker, and credit calculation logic inside the service itself to deliver credit information to the product side. In short, you will turn probabilistic, uncertain model output into deterministic API behavior a financial product can safely depend on . Our small scrum team is currently focused on developing the credit evaluation model itself. For the FY2027 Digital Bank launch , however, we now need an API designed and built to serve that model's inference results with the traffic capacity and availability the product demands. Infrastructure, security, observability, and CI/CD are owned by our site reliability / infrastructure engineer, and model development by our machine learning engineers, so you can concentrate on the application itself - but because all three roles collaborate closely, we place real weight on understanding and being able to discuss areas outside your own remit. Success is clearly defined: ensuring the FY2027 Digital Bank launch succeeds, from the standpoint of the credit microservice. Your mission is the architecture, implementation, and quality assurance that work backward from it. Mission Priorities Design, build, and assure the quality of a credit microservice (private REST API) capable of supporting the FY2027 Digital Bank launch Stabilize machine learning model integration, and secure resilience through latency budgeting and fallback design Establish development standards, architecture, and test strategy, and drive the team's technical decision-making Responsibilities and Duties As the primary application owner for the microservice, you will take the initiative within our scrum team and: Design and implement the microservice architecture: a high-performance, low-latency service in Python and FastAPI, built for transaction volumes at the scale of tens of millions of users, including service boundaries and data ownership. Design API contracts and reach agreement with stakeholders: OpenAPI schemas and error taxonomies, versioning and backward compatibility, and the process for changing contracts with Digital Bank and group-company stakeholders. Bring models and credit logic into production, with resilience by design: the client-side interface for SageMaker endpoints, latency budget allocation, and timeout, retry, circuit breaker, and fallback behavior. Implement credit domain logic with correctness and explainability: credit limit calculation with exhaustive boundary and failure cases, idempotency, reproducibility (linking input data, model version, and logic), and audit trail design. Design for performance around data supply: how aggregated data in object storage is loaded, freshness management and consistent cutover, caching strategy, and asynchronous/parallel model calls. Own quality, test strategy, and instrumentation: unit, contract, and load testing, regression processes for model swaps, structured logging and traceability, and SLI-driven instrumentation. Lead technically and set standards: architecture selection, code review, and improvement and standardization of our development process. Required Skills and Experience 5+ years of professional software engineering experience designing, building, and operating web APIs and microservices in Python or comparable languages Track record with high-traffic, low-latency applications through efficient API design and application-level performance tuning Contract and failure design experience for external system integrations including API schema, error taxonomy, timeouts, retries, and fallbacks Strong test design and quality assurance background with experience embedding automated testing into the development process Cloud application development experience on AWS using containerized environments and CI/CD pipelines Ability to collaborate and build agreement across roles to drive technical specifications with SRE, machine learning engineers, and external stakeholders Preferred Skills and Experience Knowledge of machine learning integration and MLOps, including calling models on platforms like Amazon SageMaker and designing for inference latency Understanding of data platforms and pipelines like S3, Glue, and Databricks to inform technical specs and incident analysis Fluency reading and writing IaC with Terraform to propose infrastructure changes via pull requests Experience in financial services, credit, or payments domains with exposure to auditability, traceability, and advanced security like mTLS, OAuth, or JWT Leadership experience as a tech lead or scrum master with authority over architecture, code quality, and process standardization Language Requirements Business level Japanese (equivalent to JLPT N2 or above) Basic business level English (equivalent to TOEIC 700 or above) If you do not have a qualification equivalent to TOEIC 700 or above, you will be required to take a company-designated test during the selection process. ※Please note that the interviews in the selection process will be conducted in Japanese. Who We’re Looking For Wants final accountability for product behavior with first-line responsibility for the correctness, speed, and availability of a credit API designed through to the last failure case Drawn to converting the uncertainty of machine learning into the certainty of an API by designing an interface that behaves deterministically despite inference variance, latency, and model updates Capable of standing at the boundary between roles to design the collaboration itself through clear ownership while picking up problems that fall between roles Thrives on shaping systems during phases of genuine uncertainty and enjoys making the decisions that move projects forward when specifications and architecture are undecided Eager to build infrastructure-scale products for the AI era by leading the launch phase of Digital Bank combined with shared credit evaluation using AI development tools such as Claude Code Technology Stack Backend / API: Python (FastAPI), Amazon API Gateway Infrastructure / Cloud: AWS (ECS Fargate, S3, CloudWatch) ML Serving: Amazon SageMaker (Model Endpoint) DevOps / CI/CD: GitHub Actions, Docker, Terraform Data Platform (integration target): Databricks, AWS Glue, S3 AI Development Tools: Claude Code and similar Communication / Project: Slack, Notion Work Environment At Money Forward, we provide an environment where we can create world-class services together, and we are looking forward to welcoming you.

【Only applicants residing in Japan are eligible to apply.】 Overview Guided by Money Forward AI Vision 2026, Money Forward is driving company-wide AX (AI Transformation) to deliver "digital workers" — AI agents that carry out business operations autonomously. The CDAO Office leads the AI and data strategy that makes this possible across the entire group. This is a dedicated SRE/infrastructure position within our MLOps Platform , focused specifically on the domain serving our Digital Bank and group-company fintech products — the shared credit evaluation model initiative known internally as "Financier". Our MLOps Platform is more than a machine learning platform. It also encompasses the serving interfaces, authentication mechanisms, and security layers used by connected products, making it a group-wide product platform. The team currently operates as a scrum unit of a Product Manager, Engineering Manager, Data Scientists, and ML Engineers, running prototype validation. With the Digital Bank launch scheduled for FY2027 , standing up infrastructure that can withstand high traffic and high availability requirements — along with production operations and monitoring — has become our most urgent priority. A separate dedicated SRE owns the standard infrastructure for the MLOps Platform as a whole. In this role, you will work alongside that shared foundation while focusing your efforts on infrastructure built specifically for Digital Bank and fintech products . The scope may look broad at first glance, but it is deliberately bounded: by making full use of AI development tools such as Claude Code and by collaborating closely with our application and ML engineers, this is designed as a role that one dedicated engineer can own end to end. Success in this role is clearly defined: ensuring the FY2027 Digital Bank launch succeeds from an infrastructure and reliability standpoint . Everything — platform build-out, security architecture, and observability — works backward from that milestone. Mission Priorities Deliver the infrastructure and monitoring that keep serving interfaces and production model endpoints running reliably Design and continuously uphold financial-grade governance and security (mTLS, private network connectivity, and related controls) Once the above are in place, build out an MLOps environment that lets ML and application engineers develop, analyze, and deploy models efficiently Responsibilities and Duties As the primary SRE/infrastructure owner for the Digital Bank and fintech domain, you will: Build infrastructure and codify it with IaC (Terraform) Design, build, and continuously improve the AWS infrastructure behind our serving interfaces, data pipelines, and ML development platform, managed as code with Terraform. Design and monitor financial-grade network security Architect the infrastructure for mTLS (mutual TLS authentication), build and continuously improve private network connectivity for Digital Bank integration (AWS PrivateLink, VPC Peering, and similar), and expand security monitoring coverage. Improve observability and stand up operations and on-call Design and introduce monitoring for logs, metrics, and traces using CloudWatch and related tooling. Define SLOs and SLAs, establish an on-call rotation, and standardize incident response processes. Design and support the data platform / MLOps interface Design and build the interface between the Databricks platform operated by our DRE organization and the ML Ops Platform (data processing and pipeline integration), and provide infrastructure support on the ML Ops side. Drive infrastructure collaboration across the group Partner with the SRE who owns platform-wide ML Ops standards, as well as data platform and product platform teams in other organizations and group companies, to expand Digital Bank and fintech infrastructure while keeping it consistent with our cross-group foundation. Required Skills and Experience Approximately 5+ years of professional experience as an SRE or infrastructure engineer Hands-on experience designing, building, and operating infrastructure on AWS using services such as ECS, API Gateway, VPC, and IAM Proven track record operating infrastructure using Terraform for infrastructure as code, module design, and CI/CD automation Solid grounding in advanced networking and security with experience designing architectures using VPC Peering, AWS PrivateLink, and TLS or mTLS authentication Experience building and operating observability systems including monitoring, alert design, and performance log analysis in cloud environments Working knowledge of CI/CD and container technologies with experience optimizing deployment pipelines using GitHub Actions and Docker Preferred Skills and Experience Infrastructure support experience in MLOps or data platform domains using tools like Amazon SageMaker, Databricks, or Airflow Track record of standing up operations, defining SLOs and SLAs, and standardizing incident response using tools like Datadog and PagerDuty Security and audit experience in financial services or payments aligned with standards such as the FISC Security Guidelines Experience designing, building, and operating shared platforms in collaboration with data and product teams across multiple organizations Language Requirements Business level Japanese (equivalent to JLPT N2 or above) Basic business level English (equivalent to TOEIC 700 or above) If you do not have a qualification equivalent to TOEIC 700 or above, you will be required to take a company-designated test during the selection process. ※Please note that the interviews in the selection process will be conducted in Japanese. Who We’re Looking For Strong sense of ownership for production reliability and security to keep serving interfaces and private networking stable under high traffic capacity Drive to shape architecture and operational tooling during phases of genuine uncertainty by evaluating options and making key decisions Motivation to balance financial-grade security and governance with high developer productivity for application and machine learning teams Desire to support AI-era product platforms and embrace AI development tools to achieve outsized team impact Ability to solve problems autonomously and drive initiatives forward while collaborating closely with engineering teams and cross-company stakeholders Technology Stack Infrastructure/Cloud: AWS (ECS Fargate, API Gateway, VPC, PrivateLink, SageMaker, S3, Glue, CloudWatch), Databricks DevOps/IaC/MLOps: Terraform, GitHub Actions, Docker Observability/Incident: CloudWatch AI Development Tools: Claude Code and similar Languages/Scripting: Python, Shell, SQL Communication/Project: Slack, Notion ※This list reflects what we have adopted to date. Observability SaaS and incident management tooling (Datadog, PagerDuty, and the like) are not yet in place — meaning you will have the opportunity to shape those technology decisions yourself.

Senior Quality Engineer, Workflow Platform, Nagoya
Overview You’ll lead quality engineering for a new shared platform that lets Money Forward product teams add approval and document-submission workflows without building those capabilities from scratch. Working across REST APIs, Kafka-based events, micro-frontends, and multi-tenant infrastructure, you’ll build confidence in the behaviours no single component team can validate alone - including service contracts, end-to-end workflows, failure recovery, performance, and reliability. You’ll join the QA team as a Staff IC, reporting to the QA Manager and working across the teams that build and integrate the platform. Your initial focus will be taking the platform from its first staging release through hardening and production launch. You’ll work hands-on alongside developers and component QA engineers: identifying systemic risks, improving testability and observability, automating critical validation, and turning evidence into clear release-readiness recommendations. Beyond launch, you’ll establish the quality architecture and engineering practices that allow the platform to evolve safely. Responsibilities and Duties Define and evolve a risk-based quality strategy for the platform, covering service contracts, cross-service workflows, tenant isolation, failure recovery, performance, and reliability. Design and implement automated validation at the layers where it provides the most confidence, including API and event contracts, service integration, and critical end-to-end workflows. Lead performance and resilience testing to expose capacity limits, latency risks, unsafe retry behaviour, and failure modes before they affect production. Work with developers to improve the platform’s testability and observability, including useful telemetry, controllable test environments, and reliable test data. Bring together evidence from component teams and system-level testing, clearly communicate residual risk, and make release-readiness recommendations. Coach component QA engineers and developers in platform quality practices, and create reusable approaches that allow teams to validate their own changes effectively. Required Skills and Experience Quality engineering for a shared platform. You’ve been technically responsible for quality for a production platform or shared service used by multiple products or engineering teams. You can show how you identified and addressed risks between the platform and its consumers - for example, contract compatibility, integration behaviour, tenant isolation, or coordinated changes across systems. Hands-on test and software engineering. You’ve designed and implemented maintainable automated tests and supporting tools for production systems, including APIs, service integrations, and end-to-end workflows. You’re comfortable reading application code, debugging failures across system boundaries, and contributing improvements directly. Performance and resilience engineering. You’ve designed and run load, stress, or failure-recovery tests for production systems. You can interpret application, infrastructure, database, and messaging telemetry to find bottlenecks and failure modes, then work with engineers to address them. Technical leadership across teams. You’ve led a quality initiative involving multiple engineering teams without relying on line-management authority - for example, aligning teams on risk, establishing shared practices, coaching engineers, and communicating evidence clearly enough to support release decisions. DevOps & CI/CD ecosystems. Basic proficiency with DevOps and CI/CD tools (e.g., CircleCI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) to support high-frequency platform delivery. Scalable automation architecture. Experience architecting robust, scalable test automation frameworks that integrate seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines and handle multi-tenant complexity. Preferred Skills and Experience While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following: Distributed and event-driven systems. Experience testing production systems made up of multiple independently deployed services, including API and message contracts, partial failures, schema compatibility, delivery semantics, ordering, retries, and idempotency. Micro-frontend integration testing. Experience validating embedded web components and their interactions with host applications, ideally using browser-automation tools such as Playwright. Cloud-native performance analysis. Experience combining load-testing results with metrics, logs, and traces from Kubernetes-based systems to isolate application, database, or messaging bottlenecks. Workflow or financial-software experience. Experience testing systems involving approval routing, delegation, permissions, auditable state transitions, or financial data. Experience in AI development and/or experience in using AI tools to improve development processes. Money Forward is at a major turning point, shifting "from Cloud to AI." We are currently driving "AX (AI Transformation)"—the next step beyond DX—with the goal of providing "Digital Workers," where AI agents autonomously execute tasks. As we enter a phase of evolving into Japan's No. 1 back-office AI company by integrating AI agents into all of our products in the future, we are looking for individuals who can contribute to AI-driven development and value creation.(More information here) Language Requirements Japanese Language Requirements：No Japanese Language Requirement The ability to collaborate with Japanese-speaking colleagues or read Japanese product documentation is helpful, but Japanese is not required for this role. English Language Requirements：Professional communication in English. You can discuss technical designs, write clear quality and risk assessments, and explain release-readiness evidence to engineers and stakeholders in English. Who We’re Looking For We are looking for someone who is passionate about building high-quality, reliable products and who sees QA as a strategic function rather than a final checkpoint. You should enjoy working closely with cross-functional teams, facilitating discussions, and aligning diverse stakeholders around quality goals. You are comfortable working in an evolving environment, where requirements and technologies change, and you proactively adapt testing strategies accordingly. If you are motivated by the opportunity to shape QA practices in an AI-driven, cloud-native environment, you will thrive in this role.

Staff AI Engineer (AI Agents Development), CDAO Office, Tokyo
Overview Guided by Money Forward AI Vision 2026, Money Forward is driving company-wide AX (AI Transformation) to deliver "digital workers" — AI agents that carry out business operations autonomously. The CDAO Office leads the AI and data strategy that makes this possible across the entire group. Join the Mepar (Money Forward Engineering Productivity AI Research) team as a Staff AI Engineer and lead the design of production-grade AI agents that power customer-facing products. In this role you'll own the hardest technical problems at the intersection of agent engineering and backend/infrastructure at scale — turning fast-moving prototypes into reliable, secure, cost-efficient systems that ship to real users. This is a hands-on, high-leverage individual-contributor role. You'll set technical direction for how we build, evaluate, deploy, and operate agentic systems — including the durable, long-running execution runtime that lets agents complete real back-office work end to end — and raise the bar for engineering across the team while writing code yourself. You'll partner closely with product, business, backend, frontend, infrastructure/SRE, and QA teams to deliver impactful, responsible AI end to end. Responsibilities and Duties Agentic System Design: Architect, build, and scale multi-agent systems and LLM-powered services for customer-facing products — from prototype to production, built to sustain heavy real-world load. Agent Engineering: Design reliable tool-use, function-calling, memory, multi-turn, protocols and modern orchestration frameworks; establish guardrails, evaluation, and safe fallback behavior. Backend & Infrastructure at Scale: Own backend services, APIs, and the infrastructure that agents run on — high availability, low latency, secure secrets/credential handling, and horizontal scalability under production traffic. Evaluation & Benchmarking (core focus): Own how we measure agent quality. Build the evaluation harness end to end — representative task sets, fixed inputs and reference outcomes, repeatable runners, and scoring across task completion, correctness, latency, cost, and human-intervention rate. Establish LLM-as-a-judge and offline/online eval, wire evaluation into CI as a regression gate, and grow from a pilot task set to a durable benchmark suite that product and QA can trust as an acceptance gate. Durable & Long-Running Agent Execution: Design the runtime for agentic tasks that run for ten minutes or longer — durable task lifecycle (submit, status, timeout, cancel, complete, fail), isolated sandboxes for code and file execution, artifact generation and retrieval, and a harness for retries, back-off, checkpointing, resume, and self-recovery. Reliability & Cost: Identify bottlenecks; optimize latency, throughput, token/compute cost, and reliability; instrument observability across the agent lifecycle. Safety & Governance: Apply security and governance best practices (input validation, content filtering, PII handling, HITL escalation, risk-based sampling) appropriate for customer-facing systems. Cross-Functional Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Partner day-to-day with product, business, backend, frontend, infrastructure/SRE, and QA to translate business goals into agent architecture; align standards across BE/AI/Infra, drive system-level decisions that span team boundaries, and mentor engineers on agent development, LLM integration, and evaluation methodology. Required Skills and Experience 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong recent hands-on delivery (not purely managerial). Deep backend engineering expertise — designing, building, and operating large-throughput , low-latency production systems and secure APIs. Strong infrastructure skills: cloud ( AWS and/or Azure ), containers ( Docker ), orchestration ( Kubernetes ), Infrastructure as Code ( Terraform ), and CI/CD — including operating and troubleshooting production services. Proven experience building AI agents / agentic orchestration for real products, with hands-on use of modern agent frameworks — especially the Claude Agent SDK (agentic loop, tool use, sessions, sandboxed execution, Skills). Comparable depth in LangGraph or similar orchestration frameworks is relevant, as is judgment on when a single agentic loop beats a multi-stage pipeline. Strong command of Python or TypeScript for building production services (e.g., FastAPI / FastMCP , async request handling, dependency and lifecycle management, ASGI/Node runtimes) Solid understanding of MCP, REST API, GraphQL protocols for tool integration and agent-to-agent communication. Demonstrated experience building agent evaluation from scratch — not just consuming dashboards. You have designed task sets and scoring rubrics, run controlled baseline-versus-variant experiments, and used the results to drive architecture decisions. Experience with LLM tracing and observability (OpenTelemetry / OpenLLMetry, Langfuse, or equivalent) and with performance and load testing of production services. Experience building or operating durable / long-running execution infrastructure — job and task lifecycle management, isolated sandboxes (containers, microVMs, or managed sandbox services), artifact storage, and failure recovery. Strong grasp of core CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, software design, and engineering best practices. Preferred Skills and Experience Experience shipping AI features in customer-facing / B2B SaaS products under real security and compliance constraints. Experience with guardrails, safety, and governance frameworks for LLM/agent systems (e.g., OWASP-style threat modeling for agents). Experience with cost optimization for LLM usage (context compression, model routing, non-frontier models, gateways). Fluent use of AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex) with sound judgment on when to delegate to AI and when to verify. Language Requirements Japanese: Not required but nice to have English: Business level (equivalent to TOEIC 700 or above) If you do not have a qualification equivalent to TOEIC 700 or above, you may be required to take a company-designated test during the selection process. Who We’re Looking For Strong interpersonal and communication skills with a track record of leading across cross-functional teams. Enthusiastic about mentoring and growing other engineers. High level of ownership and accountability, comfortable driving ambiguous, high-impact initiatives. Work Environment At Money Forward, we provide an environment where we can create world-class services together, and we are looking forward to welcoming you. Provided PC Specs: We provide PCs equipped with the latest CPUs (MacOS or Windows). Custom-made PCs tailored to business requirements and replacements with the latest OS are also possible. Systems to Enhance the Development Environment: Peripheral devices necessary for work (such as displays, mice, keyboards) can be purchased as office supplies. Generally, you can choose from standard products (catalog), and if conditions are met, you can apply for non-standard products as well. Money Forward Library: We have a library system where you can freely borrow books, ranging from technical books to management books. Desired books can be purchased at the company's expense.
