A Global EC firm is looking for a Bilingual Tech Lead for their various services within e-commerce domain.
Why should you apply:
Bilingual environment with real engineering ownership
English is used for design reviews and collaboration with overseas engineering teams, while Japanese is essential for aligning systems with HQ and on-site operations. Language skills directly influence architecture, priorities, and delivery—not just communication.
Systems that directly impact the business
You’ll work on transportation and warehouse platforms that control delivery planning, shipment tracking, and customer-facing delivery status. These are mission-critical systems—if they stop, the business stops.
True end-to-end responsibility
Involvement spans requirements definition, architecture, implementation, release, and production troubleshooting—far beyond a single development phase.
Hands-on technical leadership
The role requires leading design discussions, performing code reviews, and making key decisions around performance, stability, and long-term maintainability.
High-load backend engineering challenges
Java / Spring-based services operating at scale, with a strong emphasis on logging, observability, and operational excellence in a Linux environment.
Rare logistics domain exposure
Deep engagement with transportation management, warehouse operations, and delivery control systems—experience that is difficult to gain outside a few large-scale platforms.
Responsibilities:
- General product management, operational flow, and screen design
- Creating system requirements, functional requirements, and architectural requirements
- Building applications for high-load transactions and designing and implementing performance tests
