Careers at JINZ.AI
Join us in building the talent infrastructure for the future of work in Japan. We're a team of operators, engineers, and consultants reimagining how companies and people connect.
3 reasons to join JINZ.AI. We're early enough that your work shapes the company, mature enough that you'll work with serious clients and real revenue, and ambitious enough to build something that defines the next decade of work in Japan.
Ownership From Day One
Small team, real responsibility. You'll own outcomes, and talk directly to clients and candidates from your first week.
Build With AI, Not Around It
We use frontier AI across product, recruitment, and operations. You'll leverage them deeply rather than watch from the sidelines.
Bilingual, Global Team
Work in English and Japanese alongside teammates from across Japan, Asia, and Europe. Bring your full self.
We're hiring across engineering, recruitment consulting, and M&A advisory. If you don't see a perfect role, we still want to hear from you.

Our Values in Practice
These are the principles we aim to uphold in our daily decisions—not just in big statements. They show up in how we work and in how we support each other when things don’t go as planned.
People first, always.
Wellbeing, family, and health come before any deadline. Burnt-out humans don't build great products.
Default to honesty.
We say what we think — kindly, directly, early. Disagreement is a sign of trust, not conflict.
Iterate, don't perform.
An honest 70% draft today beats a polished 100% one in three weeks. Progress beats performance.
Bridge cultures, on purpose.
We translate not just languages, but contexts — making space for different styles, time zones, and ways of thinking.
Belonging
Bring your whole self.
We don't want a team that performs sameness. Different backgrounds, languages, and life paths make our work — and our decisions — sharper.
- / 01
Hired for who you're becoming, not just where you've been.
- / 02
Difference is an asset — not something to manage around.
- / 03
Mental health is health. Rest without justifying it.
- / 04
Family, caregiving, and life outside work are respected by default.
