■仕事概要
Adora's engineering team is growing fast — and coordination is becoming our biggest bottleneck. We need an Engineering Manager who can step in, own project flow end-to-end, and free the CTO to focus on long-term technical strategy. Think: Scrum Master, Engineering Lead, and Team Builder rolled into one.
This is the on-ramp to a VP of Engineering role as the team scales. You'll be the person who makes 5–10 brilliant but busy engineers actually ship together — on time, with quality, and without burning out.
Fluency in both Japanese and English is a hard requirement. You will work with Japanese stakeholders (KDDI, municipalities, school boards) and an international engineering team simultaneously. This role is best performed in-person at our Kinshicho office, especially while you're building trust and context.
What You'll Do
Own the end-to-end project coordination process across the engineering team.
Run agile/Scrum ceremonies — sprint planning, standups, retrospectives — and keep all projects on track.
Work closely with the CTO to translate technical strategy into executable engineering plans.
Manage task distribution and workload balance across the team.
Be the communication bridge between engineering and stakeholders (product, customer success, leadership, partners).
Hire, onboard, and mentor engineers; help grow a high-performance, international engineering culture.
Identify process gaps and implement practical, startup-appropriate solutions.
Our Culture
Small, high-calibre team — average age 26–27, many with overseas study or work experience.
English is our official working language (Japanese also spoken).
Fully remote & full-flex — we have a Kinshicho (Tokyo) office, but you can work from anywhere.
Flat org, low hierarchy — everyone talks directly to the CTO and CEO.
Serious mission, startup energy — we care deeply about social impact and move fast.
Awards & Partnerships
🏆 Cabinet Secretariat 'IchiBiz Award' — Public Safety Prize
🏆 Aichi Prefectural Police Headquarters Award
🏆 18th Kids Design Award — Special Prize from the Jury Chair
🤝 KDDI — Official app on the U12 Value Plan (since Sept 2025)
🤝 Aichi Nisshin City Board of Education — Kodomamo for School adoption agreement
Bilingual (Japanese and English): Fluent professional communication in both is a hard requirement, not a preference.
4+ years of engineering management experience.
5+ years total as a software engineer — you must have the technical credibility to earn respect from the engineers you lead.
Proven track record at a startup — Series A, B, or C stage strongly preferred.
Experience with agile methodologies (Scrum or Kanban) in a fast-paced environment.
Comfortable with ambiguity, able to move fast, and not dependent on big-company support structures.
Prior VPoE or Head of Engineering experience at a startup.
Background in mobile, backend, or full-stack engineering.
Experience with AI/ML product development.
Experience in international or bilingual engineering teams.
Who This Role Is NOT For
Candidates whose entire career has been at large tech companies or consulting firms — startup instincts are essential here.
Managers who strongly prefer fully remote at this stage — in-person presence at our Tokyo office is important for this leadership role.
Candidates who want clearly bounded job scopes — this role requires a builder's mindset.
