Cultural Impact over Cultural Fit

To build exceptional products, having a world-class team is essential.

We do not hire for “fit.”

We hire for impact. We focus on how each individual elevates and transforms the team for the better.

Be Distinctive

Cultural Impact

We value “Cultural Impact” over “Cultural Fit.”
Rather than asking whether someone will simply fit into the existing team, we constantly ask:

How will this person make the team better by joining us?
We believe in building an organization where people complement one another’s weaknesses and elevate the team through their individual strengths.

Today, CADDi brings together members from more than 20 countries.
Our team includes specialists in manufacturing, sales, and many other fields.

We also have more than 10 members with CTO experience, along with many highly specialized technology leaders.

Our organization brings together people with diverse backgrounds across Big Tech, trading companies, consulting, manufacturing, IT, startups, and more.

As One

Win as a Team. Lose as a Team.

Shigemoto Fujikura

VP of Engineering

As VP of Engineering, my mission is to maximize CADDi’s product development capabilities.
Across CADDi, there is a strong culture of execution—from decisive management, to successful fundraising, to expanding our business globally—all focused on achieving ambitious growth targets.

I believe CADDi can create transformative change in the world through software born in Japan.

At the same time, I do not believe that everyone needs to endure a relentless struggle in pursuit of an ambitious mission.
Precisely because the challenges are difficult, I believe the ideal is to share them as a team and have fun solving them together.

Trust is always a two-way relationship.
It is difficult to expect someone to trust you when you do not trust them yourself.
That is why I have made the decision to trust every member of my team completely, first.

To me, there is no better kind of work than taking on an ambitious mission with trusted colleagues—working as a team, pushing each other forward, and genuinely enjoying the challenge along the way.

Uphold Integrity

Both rational and irrational, for the sake of the future.

Yosuke Shirai

CPO

In the world of software development, there's a term called "technical debt." This term often carries a negative connotation, suggesting something bad or something to be eliminated. However, the place we stand today is built upon such past legacies. In short, even if something seems irrational from today's perspective, we must respect the rationality of the time that built the present.

Today, the phrase "using data" is uttered in countless contexts. However, when we look back through the lens of this modern standard of data utilization, the drawings and data accumulated in long-established manufacturing industries aren't always in their optimal state.

We would like to create a product that connects the past and the future, helping us to gracefully overcome the irrationalities and discrepancies between the rationality of the parts and the whole, while respecting the legacy/assets that have built the present, in order to create the future.

To achieve this, even if the accumulated data from the past contains some "irrational" situations, we use technology to analyze and integrate it as automatically as possible, minimizing human intervention, and providing the fastest possible experience of improving work through data utilization. Data is usable! Starting from that experience, we came up with the idea that it would be easier to use if our own operations and data were structured this way from the beginning, and above all, we want to help create a culture where such wisdom is shared.

We aim to create a product that allows us to take the first half-step with technology, and then move forward with both culture and technology working together.
