Job Description


Merpay is looking for an Android engineer who wants to transform society in pursuit of Merpay’s mission, “Building trust for a seamless society.”

Although you will be working on development for our fintech business, your responsibilities will extend beyond this sector. You will use technology to pioneer new business fields needed to upgrade the infrastructure supporting society today.

The Merpay service is still in a growth phase, but at the same time, we are proactively developing new features. As such, we're looking for an individual who is not only able to give their thoughts and opinions on the specifications from a technical perspective, but also able to select a design methodology which takes into account scalability of the specifications. You will work as part of a team to improve specs and UX from the user’s perspective and make our product even better.

We promote a culture of proactive discussion and feedback within the Android Team and also with Android engineers throughout Mercari Group. In doing so, we are able to consistently update our design and quality, as well as the development environment, on a daily basis. This role will allow you to experience both feature development with a high degree of individual freedom as well as collaborative operations with many other engineers in conducting projects and large-scale improvements.

Additionally, we also encourage and look very favorably on contributions to tech communities.
