The platform is available only in Japanese and has been a key tool for improving operational efficiency, particularly in Japan’s construction sector. ANDPAD has raised substantial funding, including a Series D round, positioning it as a leading SaaS provider in its niche
The engineering team plays a critical role in collecting and analyzing construction data, helping evolve the platform to enhance overall industry efficiency. By driving this digital transformation from paper-based operations to cloud-based systems, engineers can be part of a major mission to modernize the construction industry.
Engineer-led development
At ANDPAD, engineers are involved in every phase of the development cycle, including requirements gathering, design, development, testing, deployment, operations, and support. We believe that having engineers engaged in the entire cycle strengthens the feedback loop and enhances product quality. By being involved in refining specifications and overseeing the product through to its operational phase, engineers can grow and thrive in this environment.
We use an agile development approach. Engineers are actively involved from the specification phase, working closely with sales teams and sometimes even with customers, iterating through the development process. This setup allows engineers to take a central role in the development process, rather than simply implementing predetermined specifications.
Support for technical growth
ANDPAD believe that keeping engineers up to date with the latest technologies is crucial to the growth of our business. They provide an environment where engineers can freely purchase technical books and attend industry events, with all expenses covered. They also actively support engineers who wish to speak at conferences, host study sessions, or even author technical books.
