We are looking for people who are passionate about refining our products at an overwhelming speed that other companies cannot match, as well as professionals who are interested in promoting the spread of cashless payments in Japan and the use of these payments as a financial life platform.

This is a rare opportunity to take part in significant organizational changes as well as unprecedented technical challenges.
