Engineering Manager - [AI x Manufacturing] - Up to 18M

Job Details

Location: Japan
Salary: Competitive
Job Type: Permanent
Specialization: Information Technology, Software Engineering
Reference: 58374
We are partnering with a rapidly scaling, venture-backed technology company building a next-generation AI-driven data platform for the manufacturing industry.
Their mission is to unlock the value of complex industrial data — transforming fragmented information (e.g., engineering drawings, supply chain data) into a unified, intelligent data layer powering real-world decision-making.

As an Engineering Manager (Data Platform), you will lead the development of a core data infrastructure that underpins the entire product ecosystem.
This is not a maintenance role — you will be building a newly established data platform organization from the ground up, tackling highly complex challenges in data architecture, scalability, and governance.
You’ll operate at the intersection of technology, product, and business, driving both technical decisions and organizational outcomes.


Requirements: 

  • Experience managing 10+ engineers in a high-performing engineering organization
  • Proven leadership in driving product growth or solving complex technical challenges
  • Strong people management experience (hiring, mentoring, performance management)
  • Solid technical background in data platforms, distributed systems, or backend architecture
  • Fluent Japanese (business level, N1 or equivalent)

This role also comes with various benefits, including: 

  • Chance to build a mission-critical data platform from 0→1 that powers an entire product ecosystem
  • Opportunity to Work on highly complex, cutting-edge data challenges (semantic layer, distributed systems, governance)
  • Highly competitive salary package (Up to 18M JPY) 
  • Joining a company with strong momentum and global expansion trajectory
