Why We Hire

primeNumber is spinning off multiple new English-only full-stack engineering teams, running in parallel with current Japanese development. We strongly believe that global skill is necessary to produce world-class services, and importantly these English teams are not localization “side-teams” - they work along with their Japanese language counterparts to produce primeNumber’s core products.

To seed these new engineering teams, we are looking for individuals who understand business and product strategies, possess technical skills, and can grow these new teams from 0 to 1 to create the future of primeNumber!
