iOS/Android Client Engineer

Team Mission
To achieve the corporate mission of “Closing the Distance”, our team focuses on bringing all of our client companies, services and LINE users closer together through LINE Official Account’s (OA) app and service.
The team is responsible for developing:
1. OA-related features on the LINE app, and
2. OA Manager app (both iOS/Android) for businesses who own their OAs
Being a B2B2C product, LINE OA engages with LINE users on the LINE app and with businesses on the OA Manager app. Thus, our responsibility is to develop both end user- and business-facing apps for iOS/Android clients and improve user experience and quality of our service.

As our team is committed to making LINE OA an easily accessible touchpoint between LINE users and businesses and enabling them to closely interact with each other, we support a range of features, not just blast messaging, VOOM feeds, and coupon delivery, but also LINE Pay payments and one-to-one chat/call between OA owners and LINE users. Equipped with these various features, LINE OA can drive digital transformation for companies of all sizes from major corporations to mom-and-pop establishments in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, and more.

About the Team
Our aim is to become a data-driven team that goes beyond developing and maintaining iOS/Android app features: we proactively leverage logs to run quantitative assessments for released features and analyze issues. We adopt agile software development practice with regular retrospective analysis and CI/CD for iterative development. As we work with teams based in different locations including Japan, South Korea, and Vietnam, we communicate with fellow team members mainly via chat. Having coding peer reviews with Github pull requests and regular internal study sessions is also part of our team culture.

Responsibilities
You will develop and improve LINE OA's Android/iOS clients by leveraging your expertise.
You are expected to work with various internal stakeholders including planners, front-end developers, server-side developers, QA teams in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, etc.

Ideal Candidate
You take initiative and go beyond your current role to boost team productivity through improving codebases and tools, discussing based on data, and helping other team members grow.
You endeavor to contribute quality output by proposing improvements for plans, development specifications, and tests.
