About this role

フリー株式会社 provides integrated cloud software for accounting, human resources and labor management, sales management, tax filing, signatures, and other back-office functions for small businesses and individuals.

This senior manager will lead the team responsible for the company-wide data platform and data management. The platform includes more than 10,000 tables, over one million queries per month, and databases for multiple microservices. The team is in a transition toward a hub-and-spoke data mesh and is establishing a full data management function.

Responsibilities include designing, developing, maintaining, and operating the company-wide data platform, centered on Google Cloud and BigQuery. The manager will plan and operate data management solutions covering data risk controls, metadata management, data observability, and master data management. The role also leads platform engineers and analytics engineers through goal setting, development, hiring, and team building.

The position gathers requirements from product teams, sales, AI engineers, and other data users, while coordinating stakeholders across departments and with executives. Company-wide initiatives include improving data quality at data sources, GitOps and data contracts, integration of real-time and multimodal data, automated access controls based on data risk assessment, master data management, and data use through AI agents.

Required experience includes at least five years developing, maintaining, and operating a cloud data warehouse such as Google Cloud, Snowflake, or Databricks. Candidates must also have at least three years of backend programming with Python or Go, three years practicing DevOps and building and operating CI/CD, and three years developing SQL pipelines from multiple data sources. Experience operating a data platform across multiple domains or products, managing an engineering team of five or more, and handling multiple stakeholder requirements and trade-offs is required.

Knowledge of DMBOK and experience with data mesh, semantic layers, metadata management, data catalogs, data observability, master data management, data contracts, or generative-AI-based data management are welcomed. Experience developing strategies for the following one to two years and presenting proposals to executives is also welcomed. The posting additionally seeks people who can learn unfamiliar or current technologies, share knowledge with their organization, and identify underlying needs through considerate dialogue.

The employment type is full-time and the work location is Tokyo. Online interviews are available. The posting does not state salary, language requirements, visa sponsorship, or a remote-work arrangement. Duties may change according to business conditions and the individual’s suitability.
