【This position is open to Japan residents only】
This role, which exists in our New Business Division, is part of a team developing the next generation of Cybozu products for the international and Japanese markets built around our core IAM (Identity and Access Management) software. IAM tools enhance security, streamline user administration, and ensure appropriate access privileges – protecting sensitive information and resources. Features include authentication, user single sign-on, authorization, user directory management, password management, etc.
We’re seeking an experienced Senior Product Designer with strategic thinking skills, hands-on design expertise, and strong leadership capability to join our dynamic team. The ideal candidate will have proven successful experience with early-stage development, and thrive in the challenge and ambiguity of 0-1 product design.
As the role of design in the product development process continues to evolve with the advent of AI-assisted tooling, we’re looking for someone enthusiastic to embrace the challenges and possibilities involved. We’re currently integrating AI into our process in a way that is meaningfully beneficial, that supports and validates creative thinking rather than replacing it.
