MEMBER PROFILE
Akina Matsushima
SRE
Background
After completing graduate school, I started my career as an infrastructure engineer. In November 2019, I joined Kurashiru Inc. as an SRE, focusing on resolving infrastructure technical debt and improving operations. I later transitioned to a backend engineer role, where I worked on Web/App API development, search accuracy improvements, and building systems to transform unstructured data into structured formats using LLMs. I also took on responsibilities as a Scrum Master, drove Agile development practices, and participated in engineering recruitment. In January 2026, I joined CADDi as an SRE.
Why I joined CADDi
I spent about six years at my previous company, where I was involved in a wide range of responsibilities — from infrastructure and backend development to team building and hiring. Over time, however, I began to feel that my growth as an engineer was plateauing. Additionally, my interests shifted, and I decided to make a career change driven by a desire to work on product development with greater social impact and more challenging problems to solve. I first connected with CADDi through a casual interview invitation via a job platform, and after a conversation with a former manager, I moved forward with the selection process. Throughout the interviews, I was inspired by CADDi's vision for the future, the difficulty of the challenges they are tackling, and the passion of the people. I felt a real possibility of building software that could become a global standard in manufacturing — one of Japan's greatest strengths — and that convinced me to join.
My work at CADDi
Since joining CADDi, I have been working as a Drawer SRE, primarily focused on improving operational practices on the application side. Recently, as system and application complexity has grown, I have been driving initiatives to revamp our monitoring design and leverage AI to enhance operational efficiency.
