You will ensure that technical requirements are perfectly understood, cross-cultural communication is seamless, and high-impact projects are delivered flawlessly.

Core Responsibilities

You will masterfully translate business requirements and field constraints into actionable, engineering-ready specifications, while relaying complex technical decisions back to stakeholders in precise Japanese.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with Infrastructure Single Points of Contact (SPOCs) and Field Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Your mission is to thoroughly capture acceptance criteria, domain logic, and real-world constraints so that nothing is “lost in translation” from concept to build.

• Technical Expertise: 3 to 5 years of hands-on software development experience, backed by a profound understanding of the end-to-end Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
• Language Proficiency: Exceptional dual-language capabilities! You must be fluent in Japanese (JLPT N2 or higher is strongly preferred) and possess professional working proficiency in English. Excellent verbal and written communication in both languages is a must.
• Global Exposure: A proven track record of collaborating closely with Japanese clients or operating within distributed, global engineering teams is highly advantageous.
• Soft Skills: A highly proactive mindset, stellar problem-solving capabilities, and the versatility to thrive both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced, multicultural environment.

• 100% salary-based Social Insurance & $3,000/year Private Insurance.
• Hybrid work & Online interviews.
• 14+ days of Annual Leave.
• International onsite opportunities.
• 14 months’ salary per year.
