Software Engineer - Bilingual

Job Description

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer with strong backend and API expertise who can also serve as a technical bridge between US based and Japan based engineering teams. This role is ideal for a bilingual (Japanese/English) engineer who enjoys architecture, system design, and technical documentation, and who can help ensure technical intent, context, and design decisions are clearly understood across teams. While this is a hands on engineering role, you will do much more than simply coding. The emphasis is on backend systems, shared components, API depth, and clear technical communication across Android, iOS, and web platforms in a global development environment. You will lead and participate in API design discussions, technical reviews, and architectural decision making and create and maintain design documents, system diagrams, and API documentation.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances.
