About PayPay

PayPay is a FinTech company that has grown to over 70M (as of July 2025) users since its launch in 2018. Our team is hugely diverse with members from over 50 different countries.

PayPay dares to believe that they do not need a clear vision to create a future beyond our imagination. PayPay will always stay true to their roots and realize a vision (future) that no one else can imagine by constantly taking risks and challenging themselves. With this mindset, you will be presented with new and exciting opportunities on a daily basis and have the opportunity to grow and reach new dimensions that you could never have imagined. PayPay is looking for people who can embrace this challenge, refresh the product at breakneck speed and promote PayPay with professionalism and passion.

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.
