【Business Description】
Rax aims to improve work efficiency through cloud and IT technologies, and to contribute to addressing societal challenges where there is a shortage of people and time. Particularly, one of our flagship services, the RagRag series, excels in providing multiple services to support back-office functions (such as accounting, finance, human resources, and sales operations).

【Features】
We offer multiple SaaS products and are advancing product development for broad use by strengthening each product individually. As an example product, we focus on improving back office operations for medium-sized companies, aiming to create products that are widely used without customizing for specific customers. We are expanding our efforts in areas where we can solve the pain points of many customers, and for each product, we will ensure they have features and usability strengths that are sufficiently useful for business, even if it's just one. Many of the executives at Lax have engineering backgrounds and consider product development as a key focus of our business operations.

It is believed that by creating such an organization, engineers can contribute to the business, and aims to create a fun and easy-to-work environment where engineers can excel, operating as a technical expert organization independent of business units.

【Background of Recruitment】
Both new and existing services are scaling in terms of usage and societal impact, with the number of users and social contribution of the Rakuraku series steadily increasing. To continue meeting our customers' expectations, we are looking for engineers to help us expand our products and services together. The development team is primarily composed of full-time employees engaged in in-house development.

We have a subsidiary in Vietnam conducting offshore development. As the number of engineers and development tasks there is increasing, we are recruiting Bridge Engineers who will play a crucial role in bridging between RAKS (Japan) and RAKS Vietnam (Vietnam).

We thoroughly implement the "PDCA" cycle to grow our business.
We tackle "essential matters" to realize both the company's and our own growth.

【Our challenges】

Just as products are evolving, creating and nurturing a team while valuing both work and people.
Incorporating new functions or potentially effective technologies that do not yet exist into the world and allowing them to coexist.
Continuing to gather feedback from customers even after release to further improve development and operations.
Maintaining a good relationship between Japan and Vietnam and growing together.

【Fulfillment】
Having your own product. Being able to nurture what you have created.
Learning team building and project management while being able to practice them yourself.
Being relied upon by engineers from both Japan and Vietnam while working.
As the offshore location is a subsidiary, the relationship is very good and friendly.
Transferring your expertise to the Vietnamese subsidiary and being understood.
Not only you, but also the Vietnamese subsidiary is growing, and you can grow together.

【Types of People】
People who enjoy growth, have a high level of learning consciousness, initiative, and hospitality in order to create one service together.
People who have moved away from a passive development mindset and actively enjoy service development.
People who take a business perspective and a development perspective because it is their own service, and make judgments and actions with both perspectives.
People who continuously build up knowledge and systems, taking a whole optimal viewpoint to progress work, rather than just focusing on individual tasks.

Company Characteristics The company is a well-established SaaS provider offering a variety of services designed to make work easier for employees. It has strong sales performance and holds a top-tier market share among domestic SaaS companies. The company provides services supporting both back-office operations (such as expense reporting and sales management) and front-office functions (including customer support and marketing). Many of its products have earned top rankings in customer satisfaction surveys. ◆ Responsibility As a provider of its own services, engineers at the company are involved in every phase of the service lifecycle, from planning and design to implementation, testing, release, and operation. This means engineers are not limited to specific phases, which requires a broad range of knowledge. However, the entire team works with a comprehensive understanding of the service, focusing on its growth and development. ◆ Fearless of Failure The company understands that continuous success in business doesn't come from only doing things that are guaranteed to succeed. New initiatives are actively encouraged, and the company supports efforts made towards success. If an effort ends in failure, it is not seen as a negative, as long as it was based on genuine effort to achieve success. ◆ Product Passion Each employee takes pride in and has a strong attachment to the service they are responsible for. There is a culture of cross-department collaboration, with employees from different sections (including Sales and Customer Support) working together to improve the service. Regular information exchanges and events, such as service-specific beer bashes across departments, are part of the company's culture. The company also uses tools like Mattermost (a Slack clone) to encourage information sharing across different services and departments, facilitating knowledge exchange and enhancing collaboration between teams handling different services.
