Software Engineer - Mercari/Merpay (Internship)

Interns will be tasked with developing features for the Mercari marketplace app in Japan, or the Merpay mobile payment service. Successful candidates will join a team of software engineers, who come from diverse backgrounds hold various expertise, and work as a member of their team. The specific content of your work will involve projects to improve the UX and specifications of our products and make them more friendly for Mercari, Merpay, and Mercari Shops users. Currently, Mercari is implementing various initiatives including improving the search screen to enhance the listing and purchasing experience, and therefore you will be requested to actually handle our technology and data to produce output. At Merpay, we engage not only in B2B service development but also B2C service development, and you will have the opportunity to be involved in both. At the end of the internship, you will report the content and actual results of your work at an event held for this purpose. You can find presentation materials produced by past interns in the following article on our owned media site, Mercan.

Largest C2C marketplace in Japan and Japan's first tech unicorn, Mercari is aiming to become a truly global tech company. Their app allows anyone with a smartphone to easily sell items they no longer need, providing a new and unique user experience. Circulate all forms of value To unleash the potential in all people "What can I do to help society thrive with the finite resources we have?" The Mercari marketplace app was born in 2013 out of this thought by our founder Shintaro Yamada as he traveled the world. We believe that by circulating all forms of value, not just physical things and money, we can create opportunities for anyone to realize their dreams and contribute to society and the people around them. Mercari aims to use technology to connect people all over the world and create a world where anyone can unleash their potential.
