Leads development across backend/API and frontend for a used-smartphone buying service, strengthening transaction reliability, partner integrations, and product-wide technical direction.
About this role
Belong, an Itochu in-house startup built on used smartphones, hires a Tech Lead Manager for its internal operations system covering inventory, sales and inspection. The system being led is the dispatch-instruction product, the "brain" that decides when, by whom and how each incoming device is processed.
The team is mostly young developers (three developers plus a manager), and speed-first development has left technical debt and an increasingly complex architecture that current resources cannot fix alone. The tech lead takes technical decisions and lifts the whole team's level: introducing best practices and moving to a maintainable, changeable architecture, improving reliability through a test strategy and observability for fast recovery, using generative AI to streamline development and add AI to the product, and teaching junior members through code review and pair programming. The team works close to users at the operations centre and uses hybrid work with three office days a week.
