Enterprise Architect (Digital Center of Excellence)

Mercari doesn’t require Japanese skills for developers to do their day to day jobs. It’s becoming a pretty international company, but they have many Japanese engineers, so the more Japanese you know the better.

Mercari believes that it’s essential for team members to meet halfway during daily communications. They use the CEFR Framework to understand language levels and guide members in improving their skills. See more info on CEFR here.

Mercari sponsors Japanese visas for engineers. The only condition is that you meet the requirements of the Japanese government (but this is the case at every company). This usually means that you'll need a bachelor's degree or 10 years of demonstrated work experience in your field.

There is more diversity in the world than any of us can imagine. Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) is strongly linked to Mercari’s mission as we aim to build a company environment where everyone can be themselves and work to their fullest potential.

Diverse Backgrounds

We already have members with many diverse backgrounds at Mercari. Our goal is for everyone to have equal chances to do their best work, without dividing individuals into groups based on age, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, physical ability, or any other identifying feature, and without classifying anyone as “majority” or “minority.” We strive to create various policies and initiatives to make this a reality.

No Quotas

Mercari does not set quotas, such as a 50:50 gender balance or a specific number of countries represented, because we feel labeling groups and people in terms of numbers goes against our ideal of respecting the diversity inherent to all individuals. Meaningful efforts towards diversity are reflected not in the quantitative goals many companies tend to rely on, but in the thoughts and behavior of every person within.

Our Focus

Providing fair chances for members of all backgrounds Fostering a culture of learning to allow everyone to reach their full potential Creating an organization built on trust so that everyone working here feels like they truly belong Our first step is for D&I to take root in the thoughts and actions of all members at Mercari.
