About Moneytree

Moneytreeは「人々とお金の関係を身近にし、最適な資産運用をサポートすること」をミッションとし、B2Cでは個人資産管理・家計簿アプリ「Moneytree」を提供、B2BではMoneytreeを元に構築された日本最大級の金融系API、金融インフラプラットフォーム「MT LINK」を企業向けに提供しています。

2017年にはオーストラリア市場に進出しています。国際的な環境が整っており、20ヶ国以上出身の外国籍社員が50%、会社全体の約3分の1が女性であり、とてもダイバシティ豊かです。

Salary
Moneytree's salary structure is designed to offer a base salary along with stock options. Stock options are still a relative rarity in Japan, so Moneytree is one of a reasonably small list of Japanese companies offering them.
Japanese Language Policy
Moneytree does not require Japanese language skills for their engineering positions, though it is an advantage.

As a customer-centric company building products for Japanese customers, Japanese fluency is required for product managers and product designers to do user research, product discovery, etc.
Visa Sponsorship
- With the current pandemic, we are only accepting applicants with valid working visas in Japan.
- We offer support for visa renewal to new hires with valid working visas in Japan.
Paid Leave
Moneytree offers 20 paid holidays in addition to 10 sick/care leave days.

The Standard paid leave in Japan is 10 for an employee's first year, so this is what you'll get at the majority of companies. The fact that Moneytree doubles this to 20 really makes them stand out from other companies in Tokyo.

And then there's their sick day policy. Since these aren't legally mandated in Japan, most companies don't have them at all. Moneytree really goes above and beyond here with 10.
