U-NEXTは、映画やTVドラマ、アニメなどの映像作品をはじめ、電子書籍、音楽といった幅広いコンテンツを扱うデジタルコンテンツプラットフォーム「U-NEXT」を運営しています。日本発の定額見放題サービスとして日本国内ではすでにシェア1位を獲得する人気サービスです。

U-NEXTの特徴は徹底した、自社開発へのこだわりです。 U-NEXTのCEOは「テクノロジーに対する理解と投資」を非常に大切にしています。そんな経営者の元、内製とアジャイル開発といった米国西海岸のカルチャーを素早く取り入れて成功しています。

また、社員の自主性を重んじる社風であり、コアタイムなしのフルフレックス制度、副業、リモートワークが可能で、ハイスペックPCはもちろん、キーボードなどギークなこだわりガジェットの購入全額補助といった、テックカンパニーらしいユニークな福利厚生が充実しています。

U-NEXTのテクノロジーファーストなカルチャーに惹かれ、ワールドクラスのエンジニア、デザイナーを中心としたIT人材が集まっています。開発チームの半数以上が外国籍メンバーですが、日本語が話せるメンバーがほとんどです。現在社内公用語は日本語ですが、英語対応を進めており、国籍に関係なく優秀な人材が活躍できる環境を積極的に構築しています。

英語に自信がなくても日本語ができれば応募可能なポジションもあり、英語スキルを向上させながら優秀なグローバルエンジニアと働きたい日本人にも最適な環境です。
