About MeetsMore

MeetsMore Chuo-ku, Tokyo

We offer two core services: MeetsMore, an online platform that seamlessly handles everything from quote comparison to order placement, and ProOne, an all-in-one SaaS solution tailored for field service industries.

Key benefits

  • International team
  • Two products at different phases
  • Customer and product oriented culture

About the position

Foundation is a platform team within MeetsMore responsible for improving developer experience and delivery speed at MeetsMore.

This means that we are responsible for many things, including:

  • Developer tooling.
  • CI / CD systems.
  • Building core platform infrastructure.
  • Analyzing and improving infrastructure performance.
  • Socio-technical problems like improving developer culture by leading through example and developing tooling to solve problems.
  • A good description of the role is that it is similar to an SRE/Devops position, with more focus on coding rather than operations.

You have a lot of freedom to make things better, but are expected to take initiative to find places to apply this freedom and improve things at an organization-wide level.

Our Tech Stack

Not exhaustive, but the most important are:

  • TypeScript everywhere.
  • NodeJS.
  • React.
  • MongoDB.
  • AWS (Specifically ECS, CloudFront, S3, SQS, Lambda)
  • Vercel.
  • Redis.

Requirements

  • You have experience designing and building production-grade distributed systems from the ground up. This involves writing custom application code to integrate cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS), observability and monitoring platforms (e.g., Datadog), and other distributed systems.
  • Either be conversational Japanese, or a desire to do so (we will help).
  • Be located in, or be willing to relocate to Japan (we will re-locate). Please be sure to note in your application if you’re already based in Japan or not.

Nice to haves

While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.

  • Experience programming in a typed language (TypeScript is ideal).
  • Experience with CDK-TF (or good Terraform experience).

Compensation

7 to 11 million JPY annually.

Hiring Process

  1. 1

    Casual chat

    A 30 minute casual chat with a MeetsMore engineer to tell you more about us and give you the opportunity to ask questions.

  2. 2

    Coding interview

    A 1-hour coding interview, this will be done in TypeScript and is a real-world scenario, not a LeetCode style problem, we want this stage to be as realistic as possible so using Google and Stack Overflow etc. is fine.

  3. 3

    System architecture and design

    A 1-hour casual chat with another engineer where you’ll discuss system architecture and design.

  4. 4

    A chat with the CTO

    A 1-hour casual chat with Fumi-san, our CTO.
