JOB VACANCIES IN RAKUTEN

After the devastating Kobe earthquake of 1995, I realized that we have only one life and we must live it to the fullest. This inspired me to follow my passion and start a company with the vision of empowering the world through the power of the internet. We have come a long way since then, but I have never forgotten our roots: I still think of Rakuten as a young startup just setting out on a great adventure.

This is where you come in. Rakuten is built on a philosophy of empowerment where everyone has the chance to make an impact. We believe in taking on new challenges and driving innovation. Together, we get ahead through success and learn from failure. In the end, truly empowered people produce amazing results.

No matter your area of interest, we need your spirit, energy and drive to push us further and help unlock our potential.









By positively embracing diversity, we encourage fresh perspectives and discover new business opportunities and strategies.

Support for our global community includes everything from daycare centers for working parents to the adoption of English as a common language and open spaces that foster free communication. To us, every wall inside the office is a whiteboard!

We think of ourselves as a new kind of family, one based not on chance but on determination to be the brightest and the best. New employees are guided by colleagues who ensure we hit the ground running and are always there to pick us up when we stumble. (And we all stumble from time to time!)

One thing’s for sure. We make the most of every second!

We’re big, but it’s just the beginning.

When we launched Rakuten Marketplace in 1997, we were just six people crammed around a table in a small Tokyo office, fueled on instant ramen and the excitement that comes of knowing we were doing something truly revolutionary.

Today we still value that sense of youthful enthusiasm—the idea that anything’s possible if you have the guts and will to make it happen.

This spirit of adventure is one of the hallmarks of working at Rakuten. We were among the first e-commerce companies to use a B2B2C model, to combine shopping and travel, to incorporate a points program, and to combine retail and finance.

These breakthroughs are the direct result of empowering people to think not just outside the box, but outside the galaxy!

In our Project Six initiative, we celebrate our roots by gathering teams of six people to collaborate with Mickey on special projects. It’s a way to unlock new ideas and gain insight from the CEO himself.
