【年収〜1500万円】Engineering Manager | Driving Innovation in Real Estate & PropTech

Overview

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to help build the engineering organization of one of Japan's fastest-growing PropTech companies, backed by one of the country's largest commercial real estate data platforms.

Join us in transforming the structure of an entire industry through data and technology in Tokyo—one of the world's largest commercial real estate markets.

As we rapidly launch and scale multiple products under our multi-product strategy, you will play a key role in maximizing business impact by leading both technical and organizational excellence.

Our Mission

Our purpose is:

"Unlocking the True Potential of Industries."

We believe that data can reveal the hidden value of cities and enable better decision-making that improves the lives of the people who live and work in them.

Commercial real estate—including office buildings, railway complexes, and shopping centers—represents one of the largest asset classes in the world. Despite Tokyo being the world's largest commercial real estate market, much of its valuable market data remains fragmented and underutilized.

What if the true value of Japan's cities could be discovered through data?

What if investors, businesses, and communities could make smarter decisions based on accurate market intelligence?

We believe this future can unlock economic growth, create globally competitive cities, and reshape industries through technology.

To achieve this vision, we have built a data platform that powers market intelligence services and multiple SaaS products. While our products have been well received by customers, we are still at the beginning of our journey toward building the future of Japan's cities.

We are looking for leaders who share our vision and want to help build products that create lasting societal impact.

The Role of an Engineering Manager

As an Engineering Manager, your primary mission is to maximize the business value generated by engineering teams through excellence in:

• People Management
  

• Process Management
  

• Project Management
  

To realize our long-term vision, we are continuously launching new products and business initiatives through our "Whole Product" strategy.

We believe speed is the most critical factor for success. To maximize organizational agility, we operate through independent business divisions, each containing cross-functional product development units composed of:

• Engineers
  

• Product Managers
  

• Designers
  

• Other specialized members
  

Each unit typically consists of no more than eight members and operates with a high degree of autonomy.

As an Engineering Manager, you will work directly within these units to help teams achieve their maximum potential and deliver measurable business outcomes.

Today, we have:

• 3 business divisions
  

• 14 development teams
  

• Approximately 30 engineers
  

As the organization continues to grow, your role will be crucial in amplifying the impact of highly skilled Individual Contributors (ICs), including Staff Engineers, and turning individual excellence into organizational success.

What Makes This Role Unique

In addition to a company-wide CTO, each business division has its own Divisional CTO, creating a highly collaborative leadership environment where experienced technical leaders regularly exchange ideas and support one another.

You will have opportunities to:

• Influence engineering culture and organizational design
  

• Propose and implement new systems, processes, and management practices
  

• Shape how engineering teams operate as the company scales
  

• Take on flexible responsibilities beyond traditional management boundaries
  

• Work closely with executive leadership on strategic initiatives
  

This is an environment where ownership is encouraged and initiative is rewarded.

• Build high-performing and highly engaged engineering teams
  

Organizational Development

Project & Delivery Management

• Maximize business value across one or more engineering teams
  

• Facilitate effective project execution and delivery
  

• Align engineering priorities with business objectives
  

Hands-On Leadership

Depending on team needs and individual strengths, you may also:

• Participate in technical decision-making
  

• Support architecture discussions
  

• Contribute directly to implementation when appropriate
  

• Help establish engineering best practices
  

Long-Term Organizational Growth

• Develop talent pipelines and succession plans
  

• Delegate responsibilities effectively while scaling teams
  

• Build sustainable organizational structures for future growth
  

Impact & Autonomy

This role offers influence far beyond a single team.

You will be empowered to drive change across:

• Business Strategy
  

• Organizational Design
  

• Engineering Excellence
  

• Product Development
  

We encourage Engineering Managers to proactively define their role, identify opportunities, and create impact without being constrained by organizational boundaries.

If you see an opportunity to improve the company, you are expected to act on it.
