Backend Engineer (DSOC)
We seek a knowledgeable and experienced software engineer to work in DSOC’s Nayose Group.
The Nayose Group is responsible for analysis and integration of Sansan’s digitized business card data and other contact data from various sources. Principally, it is responsible for recognizing which data corresponds to which individuals and companies, and effectively integrating them into our proprietary management system.
This process is essential to both of Sansan’s two main businesses; the B2B product Sansan, and the B2C product Eight. Sansan is Japan’s leading business card-based contact management solution for corporations with over 7000 corporate customers, while Eight has over 2.5 million individual users.
With Sansan’s global expansion underway, in order to further improve the efficiency and quality of integration of non-Japanese people and companies, we seek a non-Japanese engineer to join the Nayose Group. The role will involve UI and Web API development, as well as data handling and transactions, in close collaboration with DSOC’s R&D Team and Sansan’s Global Product Group.
We are driven by innovation, and are looking for a passionate and intelligent engineer who will demostrate initiative and ambition, devise new solutions and help drive the project ever forwards. We combine data, technology and operational acumen to generate unrivalled value and quality. We aim to be the best not only in Japan, but the world.
Objective
With Sansan’s global expansion underway, in order to further improve the efficiency and quality of integration of non-Japanese people and companies, we seek an international engineer to join the Nayose Group.
Given the critical importance of proper data integration to Sansan’s services, it is more important for the Nayose Group’s engineers to be the best problem solvers who think outside of the box, rather than the most technically skilled engineers. The team is small, and each member is given the latitude and discretion to conceive of and implement their own solutions.
As mentioned above, the work involves close collaboration with business teams to understand the requirements from the service side, as well as cooperation with the R&D and data operations teams, in order to best utilize the latest technologies to optimize performance.
We are driven by innovation, and are looking for a passionate and intelligent engineer who will demonstrate initiative and ambition, devise new solutions and help drive the project ever forwards. We combine data, technology and operational acumen to generate unrivaled value and quality. We aim to be the best not only in Japan, but the world.

Sansan surpasses contact management, accurately digitizing information acquired from customer contact points, including business cards, email signatures, and web form entries, enabling centralized management. Additionally, with more than 1 million items of corporate information preloaded, insights such as business type, number of employees, sales revenue, and job position can be used for sales and marketing initiatives.

Through Bill One, corporate users can receive all invoices (paper or electronic), by post or email, and quickly and accurately digitize them for processing and approval.
