About the job
About KOMOJU
KOMOJU stands as the premier cross-border payment gateway in Japan, empowering companies such as the video game distribution platform Steam and the widely-used mobile app TikTok. We serve thousands of merchants by providing the essential payment infrastructure they require, through developer-friendly APIs and integrations with popular platforms like Shopify and Wix, enabling our merchants to thrive in expanding markets.
What You Can Expect
At KOMOJU, we maintain a product-focused approach, which means your contributions will directly impact our payment gateway and various projects geared towards shaping the future of KOMOJU. You'll collaborate with fellow engineers in a flat, inclusive environment where every engineer has a voice in critical product and technology decisions. Our self-organizing culture empowers engineers to take ownership of their work, play to their strengths, and explore areas for growth within the team, ensuring you are the primary driver of your career development.
International at Our Core
Our engineering team is predominantly comprised of members from outside Japan, with English as the primary language of communication. Many team members are bilingual, reflecting our commitment to diversity and seamless collaboration across teams. To foster this culture, we offer all employees the option of taking English or Japanese lessons.
About the Position
We are on the lookout for a talented backend engineer to enhance our platform, enabling it to manage payments on a global scale. Your main focus will be on Ruby, primarily working with Ruby on Rails (90% of tasks). Given that we are still expanding our front-end team, you may occasionally be asked to engage in front-end tasks (less than 5% of tasks). Additionally, you will handle tasks related to Monitoring and Observability using Terraform and DataDog (less than 5%).
Your typical responsibilities will involve adding new APIs for front-end interfaces within our Ruby on Rails application, troubleshooting payment issues in collaboration with partners, and enhancing the reliability and observability of our systems through Terraform to ensure optimal performance. You will work closely with product managers to critically assess requirements and translate them into effective code. Collaborating with your peers, you will also provide constructive feedback during code reviews, seek refactoring opportunities, and contribute to the improvement of our codebase. Mentorship from managers and senior developers will be available to facilitate your skill development, as we prioritize realizing your growth potential.
