Treasure AI:

Treasure AI is the agentic experience platform built to acquire, retain, and grow your most valuable customers. Powered by AI, Treasure AI is shaped by human creativity and always-on through continuous, context-driven action.

Furthermore, Treasure AI employees are enthusiastic, data-driven, and customer-obsessed. We are a team of drivers—self-starters who take initiative, anticipate needs, and proactively jump in to solve problems. Our actions reflect our values of honesty, reliability, openness, and humility.

Work the team does, and you will participate in:

• Design, ship, and operate Ruby on Rails Platform APIs end-to-end—from spec to rollout—meeting agreed availability/latency SLOs.

• Drive API design (OpenAPI/contract tests), versioning/deprecation, and compatibility for first-party UIs and partner integrations.

• Operate across the stack as needed, from backend APIs to front-end experiences, based on product needs.

• Ensure scalability, performance, and operationalization remain primary concerns throughout development.

• Keep up to date on novel technical concepts that we should adopt (and which ones we should ignore).

• Evaluate and introduce pragmatic improvements (framework/library upgrades, testing strategy, CI/CD/IaC) with clear trade-offs—in writing.

Your experience and skills will include: 

• 5+ years of software engineering experience with a proven track record.

• Have the ability to work full-stack (from the DB all the way to the Frontend).

• Writing Web APIs in Ruby on Rails.

• SQL and working with and maintaining Relational Databases in a production environment.

• System architecture and design

• Knowledge of design patterns involving APIs that communicate with many backend components.

• Variety of testing approaches, correctness through design, and a holistic approach to quality.

• Cloud technologies (particularly AWS) and development/deployment in a cloud infrastructure.

• Write clear design docs and incident postmortems; communicate across time zones.

• Comfortable working in English and Japanese: can participate in team meetings, ask/answer questions, and write simple tickets/Slack messages in either language.

We would be thrilled if you had:

• Sense of project ownership and responsibility.

• Experience owning and leading short to medium-term technical direction across teams

• Business-level English proficiency and conversational-level Japanese proficiency

• Experience working in a different programming environment, such as the JVM (Java or Kotlin) or a different API style, such as JSON: API.

• Contributed to a production-grade web application handling high traffic.

• Experience in developing a fully managed cloud service.

• Experience with microservices-oriented architectures and authentication/authorization challenges.

• Made open source contributions.
