About the position

Our team is involved in the development and operation of the business-oriented cloud service Money Forward Cloud Accounting Plus, which is widely used by small to large publicly listed companies. With the mid-term vision of Accounting that grows and connects with businesses, Cloud Accounting Plus is continuously improved to ensure that the accounting department becomes the engine of a company’s growth.

The team is based in Kansai, with members located in Osaka and Kyoto. It is a mixed team of Japanese and non-Japanese members, and meetings are conducted in English.

Frontend development is done using Next.js / TypeScript, and backend development is done using Ruby on Rails / Ruby. We actively incorporate generative AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and Cursor in our development process.
