You will be assigned to the CTO Office of the Money Forward Business Company, which is responsible for the Business domain that supports the Money Forward Group. The MFBC-CTO Office was established to maximize the value of “Money Forward Cloud,” which supports the efficiency of back-office operations and management improvement in Japan.
The office addresses technical challenges and development process issues that affect the entire Money Forward Cloud series and develops a common platform intended to be used by multiple products.
We are responsible for designing and standardizing the architecture for the entire MFBC, creating templates and sharing knowledge applicable to each service to enhance the overall technical capabilities of MFBC. This will facilitate efficient technology selection and architecture reviews, addressing organizational bottlenecks. Additionally, we develop guidelines and methods for managing technical debt and re-architecting, and define the scope of security design within the architecture, applying it company-wide as needed. Furthermore, we closely collaborate with Product Managers (PdM) and developers to incorporate architectural insights into the development process, aiming to improve productivity and quality.
When necessary, we temporarily join teams to support the implementation of new architectures and the repayment of technical debt. This enables each product to confidently design the architecture necessary for its unique needs. Additionally, demonstrating technical influence both within and outside the company and serving as a role model is an important part of the role.
