Job Description

【Position Summary】
Rakus offers a wide range of SaaS products, each with its own unique system architecture, combining both on-premises and cloud environments.
To maximize service value for customers, our infrastructure and development teams need to stay focused on product development.
This role is responsible for defining and promoting cross-functional security measures and vulnerability responses across all products.
You will collaborate closely with both infrastructure and development teams to deliver secure services to customers.

While strengthening security measures is essential, overly strict rules can slow down development and reduce the value we provide to users.
Your mission is to establish realistic and scalable security policies by gathering insights from external case studies and internal engineer feedback.
You will drive standardization and knowledge sharing across products, ensuring efficient and effective security practices.
This position focuses on securing externally available SaaS product development.

【Responsibilities】
As part of a cross-functional team, you will mainly lead the following:
・Formulating and embedding security policies and rules in SaaS product development at Rakus
・Establishing security policies for web and mobile applications
・Selecting and applying vulnerability scanning tools
・Managing OSS licenses and vulnerabilities, and improving related workflows
・Defining and updating development and release guidelines
・Formulating and supporting the implementation of backup policies
・Establishing and operationalizing product incident response processes

【Challenges】
・Reducing critical security incidents in Rakus SaaS products
・Staying up to date with the latest security practices
・Improving the efficiency of security implementation in development workflows

【Attractiveness of the Position】
・Gain in-depth knowledge of security and develop your expertise
・Engage cross-functionally with the engineering organization and contribute to improvements across multiple SaaS products and operations
・Rather than merely executing top-down directives, collaborate closely with development and infrastructure teams, sometimes taking the lead, and focus on what truly matters

Section Manager: 1 (Male, 40s)
・Technical Support Team: 1 Technical Leader, 2 Members ※This position
・Budget Management Team: 1 Member
・Development Support Team: 2 Members
※The entire Development Division includes over 200 members, with separate departments for development and infrastructure.

【Business Overview】
Rakus aims to address social issues such as labor shortages and time constraints by improving operational efficiency through cloud and IT technologies.
One of our flagship offerings, the “Rakuraku Series,” provides multiple services that support back-office operations such as accounting, finance, HR, and sales administration.

▼Key Features
We develop multiple SaaS products, each strengthened individually to ensure broad usability.
Our focus is on streamlining back-office operations for mid-sized businesses, and we do not offer client-specific customizations.
Instead, we aim to develop widely usable products with features and user experiences that solve common customer pain points.
Each product is designed to be valuable and functional on its own.
Many of our executives have engineering backgrounds and consider product development a core strategic priority.

【Development Organization】
While each service operates under its own business unit, the Development Division functions as a cross-functional technical team where engineers belong.
We believe that a culture created and valued by engineers themselves enables greater business contribution.
Rather than embedding engineers in business units, we’ve established a technical organization where they can thrive in a fun, collaborative, and empowering environment.

▼Mission: Drive customer success by creating exceptionally user-friendly SaaS
▼Vision: Become Japan’s leading SaaS development engineering team
・Recognized as leading SaaS developers by engineers across Japan
・Proud and confident in being the No.1 engineering group in the field

【About Us】
◯ What We Value
・We continue to balance “growth of existing services” with “challenges in new businesses.”
・We thoroughly implement the “PDCA” cycle to grow our business.
・We focus on "fundamental things" to achieve both company and personal growth.

◯ Our Challenges
・Collaborating with the business side (sales, planning, CS, etc.) to figure out "what we need to create" based on market needs and potential opportunities.
・As products grow, we must build a team that values both work and people.
・Incorporating new, effective technologies and features that are yet to be available in the market.
・Continuing to improve development and operations even after the product release, based on customer feedback.

◯ What Kind of People Work Here
・People who enjoy growth and have a high level of awareness, initiative, and hospitality to build a unified service.
・People who enjoy proactively developing services, moving away from a passive development mindset.
・People who take ownership of both the business and development perspectives as their own when making decisions and taking actions.
・People who work continuously to accumulate knowledge and systems, progressing with a holistic view for overall optimization.
