-------------【About the company】-------------

【Unleashing the potential of the manufacturing industry】

The company will create a society in which all people involved in manufacturing can maximize their inherent power.

To achieve this goal, they will create a "new mechanism" that will change the common sense of industry.

Busy with estimating and administrative tasks, lacking sales skills, and lacking information and networks.

By untying these shackles, the potential of each company can be unleashed.

From small factories in town, to large manufacturers with a long history, to start-ups in their early years, all manufacturing companies will shine by leveraging their strengths to create new value.

They will continue to take on the challenge to open up such a future.

◆Flat organization

Regardless of your position, team, previous experience, gender, age, etc., you can express your opinions and immediately incorporate what is good.

◆Excellent members

The team is made up of members who have been active in leading companies. You will have an environment where there is a growth and stimulation every day.

◆Engineer Driven

Since they are operating in a field where there are no precedents yet in the world, technical skills are extremely important, and engineers play a leading role.

◎A service that uses automated quotation technology to connect custom-orderers with processing companies.

The manufacturing industry is Japan's key industry, boasting a gross domestic product of 180 trillion yen.

In fact, about 120 trillion yen of that is accounted for by the cost of parts procurement.

Despite this large percentage, there has been no major innovation in the procurement field for over 100 years.

In particular, parts procurement for the high-mix low-volume production industry, which accounts for about one-third of the total, has been facing various social issues on both the ordering and receiving sides, such as the time and effort required for ordering and quotation, procurement costs, and the high deficit ratio on the production side.

They believed that by solving these problems, manufacturers not only in Japan but also around the world would be able to focus on higher value-added work and maximize the potential of the manufacturing industry as a whole.

So, the company developed the world's first service that uses automated quotation technology to connect custom-orderers with processing companies.

-------------【 Job Description】-------------

With the mission of “Unleashing the Potential of the Manufacturing Industry,” the company is developing two businesses: “CADDi Manufacuring,” a one-stop partner for procurement and manufacturing, and “CADDi Drawer,” a product that converts data in the supply chain into assets.

CADDi Drawer, which will be launched in 2022, uses machine learning and other technologies to structure drawing data, which is said to be the most important data in the manufacturing industry, and link it to various types of information, enabling it to be used as an information asset. It is already being used by customers ranging from major domestic manufacturers to processing companies, and from 2023 we have begun sales overseas (in the U.S. and Vietnam).

In the future, the company aspires to become a data platform in the manufacturing industry by using technology to reproduce and consolidate manufacturing industry knowledge beyond drawings. Beyond that, they aim to transform the workstyle and culture of their customers, leading to the reformation of the entire manufacturing industry. They are looking for colleagues to join in creating such a world together.

You will be mainly working on the following areas with reference to the SRE practices advocated by Google.

Emergency Response: Establishment of a system and training for quality assurance of emergency response, and lead from actual troubleshooting to prevention of recurrence.

Metrics & Monitoring: Promote observability, implement and operate SLI/SLO based on product policy

Capacity Planning: Forecasting the load associated with service growth, design and implementation of load tests, and improvement of bottlenecks not only in infrastructure but also in applications

Change Management: Release engineering, including the spread of incremental delivery, etc.

*Your work after joining the company is not limited to the above.
