Background

Real estate is deeply connected to nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Whether it's shopping malls, hotels, logistics warehouses powering e-commerce, or data centers supporting the digital world, economic activity always takes place somewhere. At estie, we view real estate as the foundation where economic activity happens, and we're committed to enriching people's lives through the power of data and technology.

Commercial real estate—including office buildings, logistics facilities, and shopping centers—is one of the largest asset classes in the world. Tokyo holds the largest stock of institutionally owned commercial real estate globally, making Japan one of the world's most significant markets. Despite its scale, much of the industry's information remains fragmented and inaccessible, creating barriers to better investment decisions and urban development.

What if people around the world could recognize the true value of Japan's cities and allocate resources based on reliable data? We believe this could unlock new economic opportunities and help create globally competitive cities.

At estie, we are transforming the commercial real estate industry by making information, operations, and transactions more seamless through technology and data. To achieve this vision, we continue expanding our product portfolio and engineering organization.

As the company grows, the need to transform individual contributions into organizational impact becomes increasingly important. We are looking for Engineering Managers who can maximize the business value created by engineering teams and help lead the continued growth of our development organization.

About the Role

As an Engineering Manager, you will be responsible for maximizing the business impact generated by engineering teams through effective People, Process, and Project Management.

To maximize execution speed, estie operates with a business-unit structure. Each business unit contains multiple cross-functional product teams consisting of Product Managers, Engineers, Designers, and other specialists. As an Engineering Manager, you will work closely with these teams to ensure they can deliver the greatest possible value to customers and the business.

You will help amplify the impact of highly skilled Individual Contributors (ICs), including Staff Engineers, while building systems and processes that enable small teams to achieve outsized results.

Why This Role Is Exciting

At estie, Engineering Managers work alongside experienced technology leaders, including both the Company CTO and Business Unit CTOs. This creates an environment where managers can regularly exchange ideas, receive support, and drive initiatives at a higher organizational level.
