【About Our Company】
We are a fast‑growing startup redefining Japanese craftsmanship for the modern world under the concept “Bringing Japanese Tradition into Everyday Life Worldwide.”

• Our products span traditional Japanese knives, sake, samurai‑inspired crafts, and more—reimagined for global audiences.
• Over 80% of our team members are non‑Japanese, representing 56+ nationalities, creating a highly diverse and global environment.

【Position Overview】
We are looking for a creative developer who works comfortably across both design and code.
You can take an idea or a reference and turn it into a polished, working experience, and you own the visual craft from concept to launch. Much of the work is Shopify-based storefronts, but not all of it.

You will also build outside e-commerce, including custom sites, interactive experiences, internal tools, and prototypes for new ideas. You will work closely with our designer, front-end developers, and marketing team. You will have both the support of a team and the freedom to shape and improve the experience.

We value people who bring their own ideas and can demonstrate them through working prototypes.

• Translate ideas and references into polished, working interfaces
• Prototype and iterate quickly
• Build reusable components and features across our brands
• Take on projects beyond e-commerce, such as interactive sites, tools, and experiments
• Give close attention to layout, motion, interaction, and detail
• Keep experiences fast, responsive, and consistent across devices

【Why you might like it here】

• Real ownership of how our work looks and feels
• Variety across e-commerce and other projects
• Room to experiment and contribute your own ideas
• A small team where your work ships and has impact
• Beautiful products with genuine craft and story behind them
• A global, bilingual environment

【Team Structure】
You will join our Engineer division, where engineers, designers, and marketers work in tight collaboration.

• A small, high‑impact team with significant individual ownership.
• A culture that encourages proactive proposals and fast execution.
• Daily communication with global team members; English is used frequently.

【Work Style】
