Full-Stack Application Engineer

The engineer will design and develop applications in the Medical Experience Business, including the online medical consultation service curon. Depending on suitability and preferences, the role may also include operations, maintenance and product improvements. Potential products include curon, curon Medication Support for pharmacies, the cashless service Curon Smart Pass, the online pill prescription service Pillmaru, and MiROHA, a digital solution for pharmaceutical clinical development.

Responsibilities include developing and modifying new application features and working with business-side members to create new healthcare businesses. Engineers take ownership of their work, learn about medical systems and business requirements while developing services, and deepen their understanding through discussion with experienced healthcare professionals on the business team. The role may also include building and scaling development teams and participating in management, depending on the candidate’s interests.

Required experience includes involvement in the design and development of an in-house product; application development and operations experience with Ruby on Rails, Next, or React Native with TypeScript; experience improving a product as part of a team with a product manager or designer; and documentation of information needed for product development. Experience launching a project or product from zero and experience building or operating infrastructure as code, such as Terraform, are welcomed.

The curon frontend is written entirely in TypeScript. Development generally follows an agile process based on sprints, with weekly or biweekly sprint meetings and priorities informed by user feedback and product strategy. Engineers and designers meet weekly, and development assignments consider skills, preferences and areas in which members want to grow. The infrastructure team provides the development environment, while engineers can participate in technical selection. Technical support engineers help investigate and resolve technically oriented user inquiries between customer support and development teams.

The position is full-time and based in Minato, Tokyo. Remote work is available, but two days of office attendance per week are required; additional attendance may be required for physical work, visitors or other in-person communication. Working arrangements may include flextime with an 11:00–16:00 core time, discretionary work systems with recommended hours of 11:00–16:00, or a managerial supervisory arrangement, depending on grade and role. Annual compensation is 5,000,000–11,000,000 JPY. Benefits include commuting expenses, social insurance, the Kanto IT Software Health Insurance Society, company-provided Windows or Mac computer, software and book purchase support, onboarding, internal study sessions, and paid leave and holidays including weekends, national holidays, summer leave, birthday leave and year-end holidays.
