Senior Frontend Engineer, Account Aggregation Department, Tokyo

Overview

Our company offers a range of services, including the automatic household accounting and asset management service "Money Forward ME" and the business-oriented cloud service "Money Forward Cloud," which are used by many users. For these services, utilizing various user data collected through a technology called "Account Aggregation" is essential.

The Account Aggregation Division develops systems to collect user data and provide it to each service. The collected data becomes even more valuable information through our services and is returned to the users. We are looking for individuals to work with us to face changes in technology, society, and the concept of money, to collect data more deeply and broadly, and to provide value to users.

Main Responsibilities

Role of Aggregation Service Project

To address this, we are developing a new service that will enable users to manage their account aggregation settings and data more effectively.
The immediate mission for this project is to handle front-end tasks for creating the management console of the account aggregation service. Following the initial launch, we will continue to develop and enhance the service to provide an even better experience.

Through this project, we aim not only to deliver a valuable service to our users but also to drive innovation in how user data is perceived, making a significant impact on society. We are looking for team members who are passionate about advancing this initiative and contributing to our mission.
