Introduction

About Us

Mercari is a Japan-based C2C marketplace company founded in 2013 with the mission to “Create value in a global marketplace where anyone can buy & sell.” From being the first tech unicorn from Japan before its IPO in 2018 we have come a long way towards becoming a global player and continuously and diligently work towards our transformation journey with a strong focus on our mission.

Since its inception, Mercari Group has worked to grow its services, investing in both our people and technology. Over time Mercari has expanded from being the top player in the C2C marketplace in Japan to new geographies like the U.S. We have also successfully launched new businesses such as Merpay, which is a mobile payment service platform with a vision to create a society where anyone can realize their dreams through a new ecosystem centered not only on payment service but also on credit. Today, Mercari Group is made up of multiple subsidiary businesses including logistics, B2C platform, blockchain, and sports team management.

For our services to be utilized by people worldwide; however, there is still a mountain of work ahead of us. This endeavor naturally requires the capability of the best talent and minds, and that is exactly the reason for us to launch the India Center of Excellence. With your help, we will continue to take on the world stage and strive to grow into a successful global tech company.

  • The Networking Platform Team helps Mercari engineers by providing the network infrastructure and support needed to improve service reliability and simplify our engineers' work. We manage the entire network, from the edge (CDN) to the physical data centers hosting our databases, passing through our cloud platform based on Kubernetes and service mesh (Istio) technologies.
  • Recent or ongoing projects

  • Implementing and stabilizing Istio service mesh to support the gradual adoption of Mercari's microservices.
  • Migrating from a zonal, routes-based Kubernetes cluster to a regional, VPC-native Kubernetes cluster, with no downtime and minimal impact on product development.
  • Comprehensive CDN migration alongside with enabling its self-servicing to users
  • Building the cloud networking foundations for scaling our services globally and ensuring business continuity in case of regional failure.
  • See here for more information about our mission and values.

    Work Responsibilities

  • Strong documentation and communication skills; able to write design docs and drive technical discussions
  • Proven ability to develop tools for internal users and improve platform operations
