Recruitment

Position

Project Manager / PMO

What we do

We are a company specializing in Vietnam offshore development. We are involved in a wide range of projects, from core system modernization for major enterprises to security consulting and cloud infrastructure construction. Recently, we have seen a particular increase in roles as Japan-side PMs/PMOs who work closely alongside our clients' IT departments. Our approach is not "please dump all the development on us," but rather a partner-style work environment: "deeply understanding the client's business operations and working together to reduce the burdens faced by their IT department." Vendor control, requirement alignment, internal coordination, progress management... We are looking for someone who can dive deep into the field as a PM and take action so that the IT department can focus on what they truly want to do.

Required Experience and Skills

It is perfectly fine if you do not meet every single requirement. However, we would love to welcome someone who feels confident in their own unique strengths.

Experience and skill

Project Management

  • At least 3 years of experience as a PM leading a team of 10 or more members (Required).

  • Experience in projects with 50 or more members will further expand your scope of activity.

Experience in Collaboration with Clients

  • Experience closely collaborating with the client's IT or business departments to lead requirement definition and issue alignment.

  • Experience in PMO support and vendor management will make you an immediate asset.

Software Development Experience

  • Experience participating in software development projects, regardless of whether it is in-house service development or contract development (Required).

  • Proficiency in using multiple development methodologies, such as Waterfall, Agile/Scrum, Prototyping, and Spiral.

Technical Background

  • Possessing a technical area where you feel confident.

  • The specific field does not matter—whether it is Security, Cloud, Frontend, or Java.

  • What matters is being a "PM who can converse with engineers on equal terms."

The following experiences are a plus:

  • Core package implementation (SAP / Salesforce / Microsoft Dynamics, etc.)

  • Cloud infrastructure construction and migration

Mindset

  • Ability to actively listen to clients and facilitate meetings.

  • Ability to calmly organize the situation during crises or troubleshooting, involve relevant stakeholders, and execute recovery plans.

  • Feeling comfortable operating as "a member of the client's IT department."

  • Ability to work on equal terms with team members in Vietnam. It is ideal if you are someone who can enjoy cultural differences.

Qualifications

While not mandatory, qualifications backed by solid experience will be positively evaluated.

(Examples: PMP, Information Technology Engineers Examination [Project Manager])

We believe this job will resonate with someone who:

  • Wants to be "a person who solves problems together with the client" rather than just "a PM at a development company."

  • Wants to be involved in full-scale projects for major enterprises with the speed and agility of a startup.

  • Is interested in a global work environment that connects Japan and Vietnam.

Position

System Engineer (with BrSE Responsibilities) [Urgently Hiring] Experienced intra-mart Developers! 

What we do

We are a company specializing in Vietnam-based offshore development. Our projects span a wide spectrum, ranging from security consulting and cloud infrastructure construction to core enterprise system development.

Currently, we are seeing a surge in intra-mart projects that operate on a collaborative, co-creative model rather than a traditional "hands-off / outsourced" approach. We work closely with our clients to streamline their business flows from scratch, co-design the necessary workflows, and bring them to life. These projects offer the rewarding experience of working directly with clients and seeing the immediate, real-world impact of your work on-site.

In this role, you will act as a Bridge Software Engineer (BrSE) connecting the Vietnamese development team with our Japanese clients. You will be fully involved in the entire lifecycle, from requirements definition to design, implementation, and testing.

 

Required Experience and Skills

You do not need to fulfill every single requirement. However, we are looking for candidates who possess their own distinct professional strengths.

Experience & Skills

[Urgently Hiring] intra-mart Development Experience

  • Experience in development and implementation using the intra-mart Accel Platform.

  • Hands-on experience with the Script Development Model (Mandatory).

  • Experience in Low-Code Development is a strong plus (recent projects are shifting heavily toward low-code solutions).

  • Possession of any intra-mart certification (IMS / IMP / IML / IMC) is highly preferred.

Software Development Experience

  • A minimum of 3 years, preferably 5+ years, of hands-on software development experience (Mandatory).

  • Proactive and autonomous experience in at least one of the following phases: Requirements Definition, Basic Design, Detailed Design, Implementation, or Testing

Languages & Frameworks

  • Java / JavaEE proficiency is mandatory.

  • Strong proficiency in 3 or more programming languages and 2 or more frameworks will significantly broaden your scope of impact.

Core Core Competencies

  • A proven track record and confidence in at least one specialized area, such as enterprise application development, package development, front-end development, or mobile applications.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications

(Preferred but not required)

  • Knowledge and hands-on experience in cloud infrastructure (experience with AWS is highly welcome).

  • Prior experience as a BrSE or acting as the Japan-side window/point of contact for offshore development projects.

 

Mindset

  • A genuine interest in the client's business operations and challenges. You are someone who prefers "co-creating and thinking together" over simply "building according to given specifications."

  • The proactive drive to clarify and organize ambiguous specifications on your own initiative.

  • The ability to work with Vietnamese team members as equals. Candidates who genuinely enjoy cross-cultural collaboration are highly valued.

 

Certificates

  • Advanced-level Information Technology Engineer certifications (at least one passed examination) are desirable.

  • Other certifications that will be positively evaluated include: intra-mart Certified Specialist (IMS) / Certified Professional (IMP), AWS Certifications, etc.

THIS JOB IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF...

  • You want to leverage your intra-mart skills in projects where you can interface directly with clients.

  • You want your work to make a real-world impact on the ground, rather than just "coding and forgetting" after delivery.

  • You want to sharpen your skills in a global development environment that bridges Japan and Vietnam.
