PayPay

At PayPay, there is a mixture of Japanese and English spoken. Around 80% of their product team’s discussions happen in English, and they have technical interpreters and translators on staff to facilitate any translation necessary. Some members can speak both English and Japanese, but some can only speak either English or Japanese.

PayPay doesn’t have an official shared language, but in practice English tends to be the primary language used for internal communications and technical discussions like code reviews.

Instead of requiring that everyone be able to speak a specific language, PayPay expects an ability to communicate with mutual respect and a drive to ensure that you’re understood. The product team values proactive communication highly.

PayPay sponsors visas for applicants from overseas.

PayPay has introduced a highly unique “Working From Anywhere at Anytime” (WFA) HR system.

They work fully remotely, so as long as you’re in Japan you can generally live and work from wherever you want. Of course, there may be times you’re asked to come to the office for teambuilding and other activities (typically 1-2 times a month).

This system enables members to receive salary and benefits relative to a world-class city and work with world-class peers without actually having to live in a city. By changing how people at PayPay work, the system aims to provide a stimulating environment that enables members to build an amazing product that’s beloved by its users.

※ Currently, remote work is limited to within Japan. There is no support for working from abroad at this time.

Work hours

• In principle, from 10:00am to 18:45pm (actual working hours: 7h45m＋1 hour lunch break from 12pm to 13pm in principle)
  ※ We use super flextime system which do not set core hours and also we may have overtime work based on business needs.
