About the position

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is passionate about building reliable, scalable, and maintainable systems — from backend business logic to frontend user experiences.

You'll work primarily with TypeScript, with React / Next.js on the frontend and NestJS / Prisma on the backend. You'll collaborate closely with both engineers and non-engineers (product, design, biz/ops) to ship features that power the core of our product for some of Japan's largest enterprise customers.

Our Tech Stack

Not exhaustive, but the most important are:

TypeScript everywhere;
Node.js;
NestJS / Prisma / PostgreSQL on the backend;
React / Next.js on the frontend, React Native (Expo) on mobile; and
AWS (EKS, S3, Lambda); and
Redis.

Responsibilities

Design and deliver features end-to-end across the stack (frontend, backend, architecture).
Take ownership of technically challenging projects, such as refactoring, complex data modeling, or new platform integrations.
Drive improvements in system reliability, performance, and maintainability.
Mentor other engineers and champion high standards in code quality and architecture.
Participate in support rotations to investigate bugs and incidents.

We value engineers who care deeply about technical quality, end-user experience, and long-term stability — not just shipping tickets fast.

How we use AI in development

We are bullish on AI as a development tool, and provide free usage of AI tools like Claude Code for our engineers. We have an internal AI task force responsible for policy, guidelines, oversight, and technology in order to empower our engineers to use AI safely and efficiently.

Requirements

7+ years of professional software engineering experience.
Significant experience with TypeScript.
2+ years of hands-on work with React (or a similar modern frontend framework).
Strong understanding of backend frameworks, database modeling (SQL/Prisma), and asynchronous app architecture.
Proficiency collaborating across functions (product, design, operations, and stakeholders).
Track record of delivering production systems with an emphasis on scalability, reliability, testability, and maintainability.
Familiarity with modern development workflows: Git, PR reviews, CI/CD, and automated testing.
Be located in, or be willing to relocate to, Japan (we will support relocation).

Nice to haves

While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.

Experience with our specific stack: NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, AWS.
Development and operation using containers (e.g. Docker).
Cloud infrastructure experience (e.g. AWS or GCP).
Familiarity with AI-assisted development workflows (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor).
Experience building B2B or enterprise SaaS products.
Conversational-level Japanese.

What makes this role compelling

A diverse team of strong engineers. Engineers from 12+ countries bring diverse perspectives and skills.
High-growth, real-world impact. ProOne is a vertical SaaS product developed by Meetsmore growing rapidly in Japan's service industry. Your work directly impacts how thousands of businesses operate daily.

Hiring Process

Casual chat

A 30-minute casual chat with a MeetsMore engineer to tell you more about us and give you the opportunity to ask questions.
Coding interview

A 1-hour coding interview, this will be done in TypeScript and is a real-world scenario, not a LeetCode style problem, we want this stage to be as realistic as possible so using Google and Stack Overflow etc. is fine.
System architecture and design

A 1-hour casual chat with another engineer where you’ll discuss system architecture and design.
A chat with the CTO

A 1-hour casual chat with Fumi-san, our CTO.

About MeetsMore

MeetsMore is a local services marketplace that connects people with professionals in the service industry.

MeetsMore’s mission is to increase Japan’s GDP and create a society where people can believe in a better tomorrow.

To achieve this mission, MeetsMore offers two main services: the first is MeetsMore, an online platform that integrates all the necessary procedures in the service industry, from quote comparison to order placement. And the second is ProOne, an all-in-one SaaS solution for field service industries.

MeetsMore is one of Japan’s top platforms for comparing quotes and ordering services online. It allows users to compare quotes from up to five professionals, all online and in a minute or less. The platform allows users to request quotes, compare prices, chat with service providers and complete their payments all inside the app. It’s a one-stop shop for everyday service needs.

The platform offers services from all over Japan, with over 600 categories. You can find wedding photographers, tax accountants, A/C installation companies, gardeners and so much more. There are more than 77,000 registered service providers on the MeetsMore platform.

June 2024 marked the 7th year anniversary of the MeetsMore service launch. In this year alone, MeetsMore surpassed a cumulative total of 5 millions service requests, which is a 160% increase.

ProOne is an all-in-one business management software tool. It helps teams with renovations, short-term construction and other facility-related work. Their software helps field services businesses become more efficient and boost sales. It also assists with increasing customer satisfaction, and reducing employee overtime by providing a suite of tools for customer management, quote creation, project documentation, and financial management.

ProOne helps businesses streamline operations so they can focus more on their work in the field. According to internal research, the ProOne software helps businesses reduce their administrative tasks by 30% and increase revenue by 20%!

MeetsMore’s engineering team is highly international. They have engineers from over 12 countries, which contributes to a multifaceted culture. And while the majority of engineers are based in Japan, they also have a few members working overseas from Europe.

The engineering team is also highly experienced. In fact, MeetsMore has over 5 team members with CTO experience. With engineers from some of Japan’s leading companies, they’ve created an environment where all members can grow together.

MeetsMore’s engineers get to work on interesting technical challenges. They know that sometimes you need to get something out as quickly as possible, but they also take time for thinking about and solving deeper problems.

For example, the team built a custom UI in their platform for allowing professionals to select which areas to accept work orders from. This was a challenge for the team, but they found a solution by building a pipeline that transformed public data into a performant UI (while maintaining a high degree of fidelity).

The MeetsMore platform has already grown a lot, so the team is currently focused on scaling. ProOne launched more recently, so the team is working to evolve the product as quickly as possible. That means that working at MeetsMore will give you chances to experience building products in different phases.
