Job Description

[Business Overview]
A startup driving DX in the real estate and construction industries through digital twin solutions. Its proprietary 3D communication platform "ROOV" holds a market share of over 40% in Japan's new condominium market (No. 1 in industry adoption), and is currently expanding its business both domestically and globally.

[Recruitment Background]
Along with the sales growth of the core business, the 3D communication platform "ROOV," multiple new projects are progressing simultaneously, including the development of a new CX platform created through co-creation with major clients. In this phase of business expansion and rapid growth, core members are being recruited to lead the technical evolution of the product and share in the expansion of the organization.

[Job Overview]
[Product Manager Mission]
Based on management policies and business strategies, the Product Manager at STYLE PORT hypothesizes "WHY make it" and "WHAT to make" through dialogue with the business side and clients, sets priorities, and creates a actionable state for development. The mission of this position is to refine these judgments into concrete states that the development team can execute without hesitation, rather than leaving them as abstract concepts. To achieve this, the Product Manager engages in ongoing dialogue with clients, defines requirements, and takes responsibility for information architecture (IA), such as information structure and screen transitions.

Collaborating with stakeholders across various domains, the Product Manager establishes the core design principles for development decisions for "ROOV" and related products. Additionally, to maintain overall product consistency, the Product Manager supports a state where QCD functions stably through the organization of common rules and design policies, in coordination with the Engineering Manager (EM).

[PdM in the Digital Twin Extension Team]
While STYLE PORT offers multiple 3D products, a common feature is that they possess both a BtoB aspect—used by real estate employees to present their products (such as apartments and buildings)—and a BtoBtoC/BtoC aspect—where end users considering a home purchase interact directly or indirectly to deepen spatial understanding. Furthermore, unlike two-dimensional information encountered daily, three-dimensional media has unique characteristics, requiring intuitive understanding of information design and operational design that differ from standard web service or app development. In connection with this, compared to 2D information design, there are many aspects that become clear only after moving items three-dimensionally. Therefore, 2D sketches and mocks alone are often insufficient as decision-making materials for consensus building during requirement definition and specification drafting, making it necessary to proceed while developing working prototypes.

While expertise in these specific features is not required, this position is expected to actively drive processes from design and exploration to concrete planning and execution, taking these unique characteristics into account.

[Key Responsibilities]
・Organization of abstract premises such as customer requests and product vision to define requirements and information structures capable of supporting development decisions
・Definition of screen structure and transition premises for each project based on feature and experience priorities
・Continuous review of product value hypotheses and designs based on feedback from both business users and end users
・Collaboration with Group Managers (GMs) and Engineering Managers (EMs) to verify and adjust the validity of development decisions and design policies
・Organization of context information and decision contents inside and outside the product group to create an environment for smooth development and decision-making
・Organization and operation of reusable common rules and design policies to prevent inconsistencies across multiple projects and screens

[Development Environment]
A fast-paced environment featuring a proprietary engine and 100% in-house development.
*The team regularly reviews the tech stack to evaluate options and take on new challenges.

・Main Languages (FE): TypeScript, JavaScript, GLSL
・Main Languages (BE): Go, Ruby
・View Frameworks: Vue/Nuxt, React/Next, Three.js
・Application Frameworks: Ruby on Rails, Gin
・Other Libraries: Webpack, Sass, etc.
・Infrastructure: AWS (EC2, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, ElastiCache, Lambda, API Gateway, AWS Batch, Step Functions, etc.)
・Databases: RDS Aurora, DocumentDB, DynamoDB, Redis
・CI/CD: CircleCI, GitHub Actions, AWS CodePipeline, Amplify
・Monitoring & Alerting: Sentry, UptimeRobot, Datadog, PagerDuty
・Repository Management: GitHub

[Development Environment Improvements and Organization]
The following initiatives have been implemented to create a more enjoyable development experience:

・Establishment and promotion of structured documentation, from daily meetings to product specifications
・Promotion of asynchronous communication where sufficient, consolidating activity into Slack to prevent information dispersion
・Setup of high-frequency deployment environments using Amplify and GitHub Actions, along with SlackBot-integrated deployment systems
・Regular review, migration, and refactoring of libraries and stacks in use
・Ticket-based task management using Wrike
・PRs and code reviews via GitHub, along with CI environment setup
・Active adoption of efficiency tools, including Figma and Miro
・Freedom for developers to work with their preferred OS and editor
・Encouragement of proactive proposals and initiatives from members, maintaining a positive attitude toward change, adoption, and deprecation

*These represent examples of ongoing efforts. The company will continue preventing stagnation in the development environment and maintaining an efficient and enjoyable workspace.

[Future Goals]
・Entering a phase of significantly expanding the domains covered by ROOV, broadening development areas from data management systems to 3D spatial communication tools.
ROOV Service Site: https://styleport.co.jp/roov/
・Currently focusing primarily on new condominiums, with plans to expand scope beyond housing to living environments and city development fields in the future.

[Work Environment]
・Remote Work Initiatives: Remote work was implemented prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, with members currently distributed from Hokkaido to Kyushu. Daily operations assume a remote setup, with continuous communication design to resolve information gaps via Wiki and Slack documentation, alongside rapid follow-up systems through daily short meetings and huddles.
・Membership and Communication: Psychological safety is emphasized, creating an environment where all members can comfortably express themselves and engage in open, constructive discussions. Agile communication helps address anxieties and ambiguous issues arising in a remote setup.
・Workplace Language: Internal communication is conducted in Japanese.
