About PayPay

PayPay, a fintech company that achieved more than 47M users within around 3 years since its launch in 2018 has hugely diversified employees who are from 40 different countries.

Our biggest competitor is "cash". We are seeking for people who can accept this challenge positively, brush up the product at a tremendous speed that other companies could never achieve, and who are passionate about promoting and spreading such a financial life platform in a short time along with professionalism.

PayPay’s policies during COVID-19 are as follows:

PayPay has been transitioning to remote work to ensure employees safety during the pandemic, and we’ll continue this even after it subsides.
While we’re open to considering engineers looking to relocate to Japan, travel restrictions have made it difficult to give a clear timeframe for relocation.
Until COVID-19 is settled and we're ready to issue visas, you can start working remotely from abroad.

Japanese Language Policy
At PayPay, there is a mixture of Japanese and English spoken. Around 80% of their product team’s discussions happen in English, and they have technical interpreters and translators on staff to facilitate any translation necessary. Some members can speak both English and Japanese, but some can only speak either English or Japanese.

PayPay doesn’t have an official shared language, but in practice English tends to be the primary language used for internal communications and technical discussions like code reviews.

Instead of requiring that everyone be able to speak a specific language, PayPay expects an ability to communicate with mutual respect and a drive to ensure that you’re understood. The product team values proactive communication highly.
Visa Sponsorship
PayPay sponsors visas for applicants from overseas.

This system enables members to receive salary and benefits relative to a world-class city and work with world-class peers without actually having to live in a city. By changing how people at PayPay work, the system aims to provide a stimulating environment that enables members to build an amazing product that’s beloved by its users.
