With over 50 services for individuals and businesses, including popular products like Money Forward ME and Money Forward Cloud, we help make managing money easier. We use “account aggregation” technology to gather user data, turning it into useful insights for our customers.\nOur company has reached a turning point from \"Cloud to AI\" and is accelerating company-wide AI Transformation (AX) toward achieving our goal of becoming the \"No. 1 Back-Office AI Company in Japan\" under \"Money Forward AI Vision 2026(https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/full-transcript-money-forward-announced-ai-strategy-vision-phwoc/?trackingId=sl33ZIGRFzkBJJv7wI9qsg%3D%3D).\"\nLeveraging our robust customer base of over 440,000 companies and years of accumulated business logic, we are expanding beyond the traditional SaaS market into the ¥14.1 trillion \"Digital Worker\" market, where autonomous AI agents substitute and augment human labor.\nTo turn this grand ambition into reality, we are driving \"AI-PDLC / AI-SDLC (AI-Driven Development)\" to redefine the product development process itself. We are seeking engineers who want to look beyond simple SaaS feature additions-redefining architecture and user experiences using cutting-edge AI agent technologies to co-create next-generation products across job functions.\nOverview\nDivision Overview\nWithin the Money Forward Business Segment (MFBS), Money Forward Cloud is a component-based cloud ERP composed of multiple service groups. While these groups provide flexibility for users to choose combinations based on their needs, developing them in isolation can lead to data silos, inconsistent user experiences, and reduced development efficiency. To solve this, our Platform Product Division (PPD) builds the common foundations that unify these services and ensures their stable use across the company.\nOur division is responsible for developing and managing shared microservices and backend systems that power workflows and platform functionality across Money Forward Cloud. We work to standardize services, improve collaboration across products, and enhance performance and scalability. By organizing complex system logic, addressing technical debt, and documenting our knowledge, we aim to create a reliable, maintainable, and future-ready platform that delivers consistent value for both developers and end-users.\nPosition Background\nWe are looking for an Engineering Manager who can balance people leadership, delivery ownership, and technical direction while working closely with the team in an Agile environment.
