Simpleform Inc. announced that four of its engineers have been certified as 2026 Japan AWS All Certifications Engineers by Amazon Web Services Japan. The certification requires holding all 12 eligible AWS certifications and demonstrating high expertise and practical application skills. The four engineers are Jun Irie, manager of the Technology Development Division; Kuniaki Moriya, director of the Product Division; Yuki Yamagishi, tech lead in the Technology Development Division; and Masashi Yamada, engineer in the Operations Division. Yamagishi was selected for the second consecutive year, while the other three are first-time recipients. Last year, only one Simpleform engineer received the certification. Simpleform builds data platforms and screening systems for financial crime prevention, handling corporate data collection and analysis. The company supports certification through financial assistance, study time, and a culture of knowledge sharing. CTO Hirokazu Koma said the selection reflects both individual effort and the company's support for engineers tackling socially significant issues.
The four engineers each bring distinct backgrounds to the certification. Jun Irie joined Hitachi in 2011 and worked as a cloud architect before becoming manager of the Technology Development Division in March 2024. Kuniaki Moriya started at Akatsuki on mobile game backend and later worked at GA technologies before joining Simpleform in February 2024. Yuki Yamagishi, selected for the second consecutive year, came from NTT Data where he worked on distributed processing and data platforms. Masashi Yamada also started at NTT Data, then moved to AWS for technical support before joining Simpleform in September 2024.
Irie said his belief in selecting the optimal solution and maximizing customer value is at the foundation of his effort. Moriya felt the importance of acquiring systematic knowledge anew as he leads a rapidly expanding development organization. Yamagishi noted that the role of data platforms is rapidly expanding, from internal data utilization to secure data collaboration with customers. Yamada said his knowledge is directly applied in the implementation field as he supports the platform of corporate data that Simpleform independently collects and formats.
Simpleform collects qualitative information on 5 million corporations nationwide and builds a database for screening. Its products include SimpleCheck, SimpleMonitor, and SimpleInterview, used mainly by banks, credit card companies, and platformers. The company supports engineers with financial assistance for certifications, study time, in-house study sessions, technical book reading groups, and mob programming. CTO Hirokazu Koma said in the release: "In an era where AI is misused for fraud and financial crime, we choose to stand on the opposite side, building technology that supports the trust foundation of transactions."
