Software Engineer (Frontend/Vue)-[Relocation to Tokyo Required]

Role overview

We are looking for a Software Engineer (Frontend/Vue) to lead the frontend development for HENNGE One, our flagship cloud-security suite serving over 2.8 million users globally. As a B2B SaaS leader in Japan, we provide mission-critical security solutions that empower enterprises to work safely from anywhere.

In this role, you will join the Email DLP (Data Loss Prevention) Team, responsible for the development of HENNGE One DLP Edition. You will be developing our frontend web applications and their supporting tooling and infrastructure. Your mission is to maintain a large enterprise codebase while taking ownership of end-to-end feature development lifecycles. To succeed in this role, you will need strong frontend engineering fundamentals, as well as a transparent communication style, a passion for knowledge sharing, and a genuine comfort with pair programming, co-authorship, and collective code ownership.

While this role primarily focuses on the DLP Edition, we value engineers who are flexible and open to new challenges, with opportunities to move between teams and products through two-way discussions that support your growth and the company's goals.
