Zeppelin, Inc. | Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan | Software Engineers, Designers, Business Development Directors, and more | VISA, ONSITE, and FULL-TIME | REMOTE available for Android and iOS Engineer positions
Zeppelin is a digital business firm in Tokyo with a fully funded startup division called Feelit. Feelit is a playground for us to test our research and breakthroughs in the field of computer vision and recommender systems.
We believe that technology can give voice to stories around the world. We empower the people to tell the stories you will fall in love with and stay up watching at a scale.
We're not all about algorithms or trending frameworks. We make room for randomness and non-linear ways of thinking because behavior, cultures, and peoples cannot be evaluated in mathematical terms.
So if your poetry is just as good as your trigonometry then we probably want to talk to you!
One of the biggest gripes of working in Japan is the work culture. At Zeppelin we don't have hierarchies and we focus on creativity not manufacturing. We're multicultural and we also have an in-house Japanese and English interpreter/teacher!
