Lead customer research and product strategy for large financial projects, defining value, prioritizing work, directing web/app UI/UX, aligning stakeholders, and improving KPIs after release.
About this role
WealthNavi, Japan's leading robo-advisor, has an engineering organisation in which more than half of roughly 200 employees are engineers, with a preference for in-house development driven by customer feedback and quick responses to legal change. This entry is for engineers who want a casual interview and are not tied to one opening; the company matches a suitable position and interviewer from the applicant's background and interests.
Applicants submit career details through the form, and an interview may be declined if no position fits. The development culture favours the engineers' own voices on technology choice and tooling, balances security and usability for customers, and keeps a fast, user-first approach after the company became a subsidiary of MUFG Bank. The environment includes Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, AWS, Datadog, Aurora MySQL, IntelliJ and AI tools such as GitHub Copilot, Microsoft Copilot and Gemini.
No specific years of experience or qualifications are listed beyond interest in the company's mission, vision and engineering culture.
