Engineering Manager

Description

Mission

We will take the lead in expanding and managing our development organization in a healthy manner.

Datachain is simultaneously attempting to launch multiple unicorn- and decacorn-level businesses.
We view building a development organization to support these launches in a short space of time as an extremely challenging mission.

To achieve this mission, we aim to build a highly reproducible organization and a cycle of further expanding our network of colleagues by increasing our team members, creating an environment where each individual can thrive, and communicating this vision.

Our company's technological strength is directly linked to the strength of our business, making high-level engineers essential. While this is an extremely challenging mission, this position offers valuable career development opportunities while working toward realizing a top-tier development organization.

 

About Our Challenge

Business

In the future, it is expected that all assets in the world will be digitized. While efforts to develop digital money such as credit cards, points, and smartphone payments have already begun, the digitization of real-world assets (RWA), assets with backed by value such as stocks, bonds, derivatives, and real estate, is also progressing.

As the search for the optimal technology for managing information on these important assets continues, blockchain is finally entering its practical application phase. Overseas banks have adapted the technology to their internal systems, with examples being used for payments worth hundreds of billions of yen. In addition, there are examples of governments issuing cash as digital currency and using blockchain to manage national systems.

Amid signs of major changes in the financial system, on September 5, 2024, we launched Project Pax, a cross-border remittance infrastructure project in collaboration with the international organization Swift and three major Japanese banks. We aim to establish a new international remittance platform with the world's first legally compliant stablecoin that can be used by banks.

 

Technology

Since its founding in 2018, Datachain has been a truly tech-driven company, conducting R&D with the goal of creating a "de facto infrastructure" through "global x deep tech" from Japan. This accumulated technology has led to the current opportunity. However, given the market's potential impact, competition is expected to intensify in the future.

We will leverage this unique opportunity to create products that will change the world. To that end, we have established a development team and are currently recruiting high-level engineers to serve as core members.
