When it comes to engineering, we believe in having a flat, inclusive culture and constantly improving by continuing to evaluate ourselves. We also prize individuality and believe that each member brings their own unique value to the team.

Our development processes are always updating as the company grows, and we have an engineering culture that largely organizes itself and each engineer has a lot of ownership in their own projects. This culture allows engineers to showcase their strengths while continuing to grow.

KOMOJU's policies during COVID-19 are as follows:

  • During COVID-19 all of their members are working from home 100% of the time (previously they allowed up to one day a week).
  • Their current plan is to continue their full remote policy even after COVID-19 is no longer a concern.
  • They’re able to accept applications from overseas, but you may need to work abroad until it’s possible to move to Japan.
