About this role

MODE is a dynamic and rapidly growing startup at the forefront of the Generative AI and Internet of Things (IoT) revolutions. With a growing presence in both the US and Japan, we are pioneering innovative solutions that connect the physical and digital worlds.

As a member of the Engineering Foundation team (a part of Product Engineering), you will be a key player in enhancing the productivity and reliability of our entire engineering organization. At MODE, we follow a model where every engineering team takes responsibility for its own DevOps. The Engineering Foundation team acts as a catalyst for this model, providing enablement, building shared infrastructure, and solving cross-team technical challenges in our day-to-day DevOps activities. In this role, you will work on various missions, including automating release processes, maintaining observability platforms, and integrating AI into our development workflows. We are looking for an engineer who is passionate about "engineering excellence" and wants to build an environment where developers can deliver value more efficiently and reliably.

Job Responsibility

  • DevOps Enablement: Support product teams in managing their own DevOps activities by providing tools, best practices, and documentation.

  • Shared Tooling & Libraries: Developing the tools and common libraries to make development productive and efficient, including internal CLI tools, shared services, and standard development frameworks.

  • Infrastructure Management: Design, operate, and improve shared cloud infrastructure (AWS) used across multiple product teams.

  • CI/CD & Release Excellence: Enhance CI/CD pipelines and automate release processes to improve delivery speed and quality.

  • Observability: Maintain and improve company-wide observability stacks (logging, metrics, tracing) to ensure rapid issue detection and resolution.

  • AI for Engineering: Integrate Generative AI (LLMs) into the development lifecycle (e.g., automated testing, code review assistants) to boost overall productivity.

  • Cross-team Support: Collaborate with product teams to solve common performance, security, or architectural challenges that fall between team boundaries.

  • As a part of the Product Engineering team, you are also supposed to participate in on-call rotation and respond to production issues.

Required Skills

  • Experience: 3-5 years of experience in backend software development and operations in a Linux/Cloud-native environment.

  • Programming: Strong coding skills for Cloud-based application development.

  • Cloud infra proficiency: Practical knowledge of public cloud platforms (AWS preferred), including core services (Compute, Storage, Networking).

  • Automation: Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions) and basic knowledge of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

  • Problem Solving: Ability to identify bottlenecks in development processes and propose technical solutions.

  • Communication: Proficiency in English to collaborate effectively with diverse stakeholders.

Nice-to-Have Skills

  • 3+ years of professional Go programming experience

  • Experience in microservices development.

  • Experience in designing/implementing systems using event-driven architecture.

  • Experience in participating in on-call or incident handling.

  • Business-level Japanese speaking capability.
