ROUTE06(Headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Takafumi Endo, President; hereinafter "ROUTE06") announces the creation of the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) position and the appointment of co-founder and director Tadashi Shigeoka. Shigeoka will focus on promoting and scaling the development of "Plain," an enterprise API platform, improving the developer experience within ROUTE06's fully remote environment, and recruiting software engineers to advance product development in the enterprise domain.
Background of the inauguration
ROUTE06 serves as a DX partner to Intrepreneur, a company tackling major social challenges by leveraging the world-class assets, intellectual property, and human capital of established corporations. ROUTE06 provides cutting-edge digital technology, system infrastructure, and digital business startup support through its professional team. We have supported the launch and growth of digital businesses for several major companies, including Sogo & Seibu's OMO store "CHOOSEBASE SHIBUYA" and Mitsubishi Materials' online E-Scrap transaction system "MEX".
In June 2022, we released the enterprise API platform "Plain" with Series A round, a business API for the digital transformation of all business transactions. Plain will support the rapid launch and ongoing service improvements of various digital businesses, including online marketplaces, whether they operate in the B2C or B2B space. Even for large traditional companies that do not have a well-developed digital product development system, "Plain" will significantly shorten system development time and facilitate agile development with internal and external development partners as well as day-to-day business operations.
In order to scale "Plain" as an API platform that supports the digitization of business transactions for major companies, large-scale and highly complex development is required, including the commonization of fundamental functions that can be applied to all domains, as well as the retail, manufacturing, real estate, and distribution and brokerage industries where it has already been introduced. Shigeoka, co-founder and director of the company, has been appointed CTO to lead this effort.
As CTO, Mr. Shigeoka will be responsible for improving the developer experience of ROUTE06, a fully remote organization, as well as hiring software engineers to lead product development in the enterprise domain.
