Who We Are

Mission
  To create useful products for people all over the world

EDOCODE is a startup company that was founded with the goal of conceptualizing and developing services needed across the globe. We work to create relevant products that will be used by people of all backgrounds. We endeavor to leverage IT/web technologies to provide solutions to everyday inconveniences and ultimately contribute to bettering the world.

We believe that there are always inconveniences in the world. We believe that our raison d'etre is to think about how to eliminate such inconveniences and provide solutions to the world.

We think the difficulty is that even if we have a good idea or a service that users find valuable, it will not be viable without revenue. Our goal is to create an organization where the three elements of users, technology, and business support each other in a well-balanced manner while developing products.

If we can achieve this, we should be able to create services that solve inconveniences in the world, and we believe it is the mission of EDOCODE to do so.

What We Do

■PUSHCODE
PUSHCODE is a service that makes it easy to implement "web push notifications".
Push notifications on websites are implemented using Push API, a web standard technology, and require a server to deliver notifications. PUSHCODE solves these technical problems by providing web push notifications as SaaS, and also supports flexible customization by providing its own API. PUSHCODE will be a product that will make previously unoptimized "notifications" better. We want to make communication less stressful for the customers who send notifications and for the users who receive them.

■Point Malls
We are developing a "point mall" platform service mainly for domestic credit card companies.
A "point mall" is a web service that allows credit card users to earn more points than usual by shopping online through the websites provided by the credit card companies. PUSHCODE was initially developed as a common function of the Point Mall.
Although it would require considerable cost and manpower for a card company to develop such a system in-house, EDOCODE provides the core system as a platform.
We started working with the first credit card company in 2010, and now there are more than a dozen.

How We Do

【Diversity and Inclusion】
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
We believe that if we want to create a product that can be used by people all over the world, it is better to have a diverse organization, so we actively hire people from various cultures and backgrounds.

The more diverse we become, the more people with different opinions and ways of thinking from our own.  For this reason, I believe that we must also carefully consider the concept of "inclusion" in a highly diverse organization.

Remote work has become the norm, and communication has become even more difficult than before. As chit-chatting has been greatly reduced, talking about topics other than work and talking about each other's backgrounds at a moment's notice has disappeared, and it has become difficult to know what kind of values our colleagues have.

We believe that how to solve such issues will become a theme for organizations in the future. If you're interested in these issues, we hope you'll join us at EDOCODE!

【Working style】
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# Remote work
Currently, all employees are working remotely. Once the situation of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) infection settles down, we plan to allow employees to come to the office to work. You can also continue to work remotely and move outside the commuting area of the office.

# Flextime system
EDOCODE has a flextime system, so as long as you work during the core hours of 10:00 - 16:00, the rest of your time is free.

【Atmosphere and characteristics of EDOCODE】
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# Demonstrating kindness
At EDOCODE, we place the utmost importance on being kind to others, and our principle is to always be considerate of others. It is a culture where it is good to talk to any person without refusing to communicate with them or intimidating them.

# Diversity and feedback culture
We believe that an organization and its business can grow only when there are diverse perspectives and opinions. For this reason, we believe it is important to proactively communicate (give feedback) if we think it would improve the other party or the whole.

# Create good service
We have a lot of time to discuss and examine ways to improve our services. We think it will be more enjoyable if you are willing to speak up in such situations and are not afraid to do so. We want to make this company a comfortable place for people who love to create services and products.

【Applying from outside Japan】
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
# Time zone
You must reside in an area where the time difference from Asia/Tokyo(UTC+09:00) is within 2 hours.

# Contract
In principle, if you work while living outside Japan, the relationship is not an employment contract but an outsourcing contract. However, the way you are treated and interacted with in the company is exactly the same as that of an employee.

# Migration to Japan
We provide full support for foreign nationals moving to Japan to obtain their status of residence.
