SRE - Lead Engineer | Featured Fin-tech Company

【ABOUT THE COMPANY】

The company creates value through technology by implementing blockchain in society.

In order to promote the social implementation of blockchain, the company conducts PoC with partner companies, business planning, and R&D in the areas of scalability and interoperability, which are challenges for blockchain.

Blockchain technology is still in its infancy, but over the past few years, various demonstration experiments and R&D projects have been conducted around the world, and the groundwork has gradually been laid for social implementation in terms of both business and technology.

The company has also accumulated knowledge and expertise in the use of blockchain through joint projects with leading Japanese partner companies in the financial and mobility fields.

【Examples of Initiatives】
The company and Toyota Financial Service conduct a demonstration experiment for "proof of value" and "transfer of ownership" of vehicles using blockchain.

In the area of R&D, the company is developing solutions for scalability and interoperability, which are frequently pointed out as blockchain issues.

The company is sincerely committed to "social implementation of blockchain" and realizing the creation of value through technology.

【JOB DESCRIPTION 】

■About the company's initiatives
The company has announced a project to build a global payment solutions infrastructure on September 5, 2024!

Since its inception in 2018, the company has been continuing R&D on technology and business opportunities with the goal of creating a “de facto infrastructure” as a “Global x Deep Tech” “from Japan”.

The company aims to become a Decacorn (a startup with an enterprise value of $10 billion or more), but it is often said that “we need to win in Global x Deep Tech to realize this goal”.

As a major first step, the announced project will be launched, but time is limited for us to make a strong start with a big advantage in this area, where the world's top companies will be competitors.

As the first penguin, the company is now rapidly expanding its recruitment in order to create a “de facto infrastructure” as a “global x deep tech” “from Japan”.

■Why is the company able to achieve this?
・The company will develop an international remittance infrastructure using stable coins in collaboration with a communication network of financial transactions connecting more than 11,000 institutions in more than 200 countries and regions around the world, which are also used by major Japanese banks for overseas remittances, as well as partner institutions.

・In June 2023, Japan will be the first developed country to enact legislation on blockchain stablecoin in Japan, making Japan a world leader in this area.

・The company's research and development of inter-blockchain transmission technology is leading the world.

■Job Satisfaction of this Position
The Lead Product Security Engineer is required to launch a new system to promote a new major business, and to create the ideal security state of the system.
Therefore, the role of the lead engineer is needed to establish policies to create a high level of security in cooperation with other team members both inside and outside of the team.

In terms of implementation, in addition to the usual web application infrastructure knowledge, the engineer will need to establish the management of many security level structures, including financial knowledge and blockchain specific knowledge.
