Why we are recruiting for this position

  • We are excited to welcome a Software Engineer to join our growing engineering team at RESTAR, a cutting-edge platform revolutionizing the commercial real estate market in Japan. This is also a unique opportunity to work with the Elixir programming language.
    We've got exciting challenges ahead of us, and we need more bright minds to help tackle them.
    We’re looking for a software engineer with a solid technical background to help us build and improve our platform.
    In this role, you’ll focus on creating a reliable, scalable, and user-friendly product using modern development practices. We value clean code, good software design, and teamwork. If you are passionate about good software design and enjoy collaborating with their teammates to solve interesting problems, we’d love to hear from you!

 

Responsibilities

You'll be at the heart of developing our REMETIS platform, which means you'll write clean code and you'll be deeply involved in shaping how the product evolves. You'll work closely with our product team to build features for our users. You'll be part of code reviews and technical discussions. 
We're not just looking for someone to write code - we want someone who'll bring their own ideas to the table, whether that's suggesting better tools, improving our processes, or finding smarter ways to solve problems.

 

Required

It basically goes without saying that we're looking for someone who knows their way around code, but just to be clear: That doesn't mean you need to be an Elixir expert right now. But we expect that you'll be most successful in this role if you have solid programming experience in any language and, most importantly, bring genuine curiosity and eagerness to dive into Elixir. It's a fantastic language that we love working with, and we're happy to help you learn it.

You're our ideal candidate if:

  • You're a software developer who genuinely gets excited about elegant code and building great products.
  • You have experience building RESTful web services and backend systems.
  • You write clean, well-tested code and know how to build systems that are secure, performant, and scalable.
  • You love being part of technical discussions that shape the product.
  • You thrive in a startup environment and communicate well with both technical and non-technical teammates.
  • Most importantly, you are eager to learn. While Elixir experience is a plus, we care more about your potential and motivation to grow with us.
  • You are currently located in Japan.

  • Work Hours:
    • We operate on a flexible working system that gives you the freedom to shape your day. While we consider a full workday to be 8 hours per day under the Discretionary working System, we're more interested in your output than watching the clock.

Company Overview

We are a start-up company that develops and provides 『REMETIS』, an integrated data platform that accelerates commercial real estate transactions. The service is currently being used by a growing number of financial institutions, construction and brokerage firms, with a focus on developers and funds.

 

Service Overview

Using 『REMETIS』 is simple; simply drag and drop property information in PDF files to create a database. The data is automatically linked to a map and integrated with various data such as past land sales history, rents, yields, land prices, and development examples, making it possible to search for information necessary for real estate investment and financing analysis in a one-stop operation. In addition, for real estate distribution operations, buying needs can be organized along with properties for sale, and sales and purchases are automatically matched. This systematically introduces properties, which tends to be a personalized process, thereby preventing omissions. The above enables speedy and highly accurate information gathering, profitability studies, and property introductions, as well as revitalization of meetings, standardization of operations, paperless operation, and reduction of opportunity loss due to missing out on good deals.

RESTAR’s core mission is to create an active and dynamic real estate market in Japan. They provide a real estate and geographic information analysis/management platform (BtoB software) for real estate companies and financial institutions.

The real estate market generates an incredible amount of data. REMETIS integrates publicly available information and client data to lower real estate transaction costs and simplify complex investment workflows. We show real estate trends and market opportunities so that our clients can make better investment decisions.

For our clients, REMETIS improves the underwriting and due diligence process by making it easier to access and understand data. It also promotes information sharing, business standardization, and paperless operations. Although we have proven a market need and obtained product-market-fit, we still believe we are in the beginning stages of building the REMETIS platform. We have many ideas for the future expansion of the platform.

We are looking for people who are excited about building successful features and products for the real estate market. You’ll get to work with other experienced engineers to build features that have a meaningful impact on our clients. You'll do well at RESTAR if you’re comfortable in a fast-paced environment where building software comes first; comfortable learning new technologies and systems; comfortable moving across the stack.
