Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPhilip Ermish is a seasoned software engineering leader with 12 years of experience who currently directs Indeed’s Japan engineering organization, overseeing 200+ developers and strategic initiatives like Indeed+. He combines enterprise delivery chops from roles at Indeed, Allrecipes, and Bank of America with startup and CTO experience at Pretzel Labs, giving him a rare ability to switch between scale and scrappy product-building. As cofounder and tech lead of FindADoc.jp, he led a volunteer community of 25+ contributors to build an open-source healthcare access platform that served tens of thousands during the COVID-19 vaccine rollout—an example of technical leadership with measurable social impact. He’s hands-on across front-end and back-end stacks, mentors engineers into paid roles, and brings practical multilingual/product sensibilities from living and shipping software in Japan. Outside work he’s an urbexer, photographer and anime fan, a detail that reflects his curiosity and creative approach to problem solving.
