About the position

Money Forward has developed dozens of products over the past 10 years. This rapid development was possible because we tried various development strategies using different technology stacks in various locations.

To address these challenges, the Cross-Functional Engineering Department was established in 2023. Our mission is to integrate Money Forward’s ERP products at a feature level, enhance collaboration amongst the ERP development teams, and to make development more efficient and streamlined across all ERP products.

The ERP Cross-Functional Engineering team has expanded over the past year, and the number and scope of our projects has increased. We now need a fulltime Scrum Master to work with our team, ensuring that our processes run smoothly and improve continuously, so that our engineers can focus on development.
