Marketing and advertising company with enterprise data infrastructure and generative AI capabilities
サングローブ is a 1,000+ person marketing and advertising firm headquartered in Tokyo, operating a sophisticated tech stack spanning AWS, GCP, data warehousing (BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift), orchestration (dbt), observability (Datadog, Prometheus, Grafana), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes). Current priorities reveal a structural pivot: rebuilding a SaaS×agent business from zero, transforming from marketing-driven to product-driven culture, and scaling enterprise data infrastructure — a shift reflected in their heavy engineering and data hiring alongside leadership roles in security and infrastructure.
