About Cybozu

【This Position is for Japan Residents Only 】
Our purpose is to build a society brimming with teamwork. We offer the flexibility you need to work within a supportive, motivated, teamwork-driven environment.

We develop and deliver cloud-based collaboration services that enable diverse people to work together more easily and effectively. Today, we are one of Japan's most successful cloud-based companies, with four key products used every day by more than 160,000 businesses and nonprofit organizations worldwide.

Our Team

We have established a new and rapidly expanding team of around 20 people to build next-generation groupware and workspace solutions, including advanced identity and access management, communications, collaboration, and more.

The team comprises both exceptional existing professionals and newly-hired senior engineers.
We aim to foster a team culture with the following qualities:

  • Aligning actions with a compelling, shared vision
  • Valuing individual differences and talents
  • Fostering trust through open and transparent communication
  • Empowering people to act independently while making progress together through discussion

Position Overview

Our team is developing next-generation groupware in domains including IAM, communication, and collaboration in order to achieve our corporate vision of building a society brimming with teamwork.

As part of our product release preparations, we are engaged in the process of iterations identifying customer needs and validating hypotheses based on our findings. To that end, we are looking for a proactive individual who can offer valuable insights with a deep understanding of the product concept and a holistic view of the project.
This position requires the ability to demonstrate thorough proficiency in web technologies, particularly front-end technologies, and the ability to lead efforts in developing architecture design, selecting development tools, and improving development processes.

Our team is multicultural, and we strive to use English as our primary means of communication.
However, some team members are still in the process of acquiring business-level English skills for smoother communication. This means the successful candidate will be sensitive to the communication process and willing to put in additional effort to understand team members’ intentions and ensure they understand yours. Since the engineers are native Japanese speakers, some complicated technical discussions may be conducted in English with supplementary explanation given in Japanese.  

We are looking for an individual who is willing to strive to overcome language barriers in order to collaborate effectively with team members.
