Teams operate via Agile/Scrum, emphasizing high-frequency communication to adapt dynamically to changing priorities.
・20% Autonomous Innovation Time: Engineers can allocate up to 20% of their working hours at their own discretion to address engineering challenges, perform refactoring, optimize developer experience (DX), or conduct technical R&D. This initiative has successfully driven key outcomes such as adoption of modern stacks, accelerated build times, and streamlined release pipelines—offering a dedicated space for continuous technical growth.
