We are investing heavily in improving reliability, performance, and development speed, while transitioning toward a global engineering culture. As part of this shift, we are hiring Engineering Managers who can operate effectively in an international environment and help bridge communication between English-speaking engineers and Japanese-speaking stakeholders.
