Got a new Full stack engineer job in Tokyo, 5.5M→6M JPY

- Nationality:Nigeria
- Development Experience:4 years
- Proficient Programming Languages:JAVA,C,C++
- Japanese Proficiency Level:N3

【Summary】
In 2017, they arrived in Japan and have accumulated approximately 4 years of development experience in Japan, working with a total of 2 companies.
They possess extensive development experience in Java (utilizing the Spring framework) and C/C++, but also exhibit a proactive attitude towards learning new programming languages. Despite their current job, they are concurrently enrolled in a graduate program and have ambitious goals, including obtaining a PhD in the field of information technology.

Due to their commitments to the graduate program, they are seeking a fully remote work arrangement. In terms of Japanese proficiency, they have achieved JLPT N3, which suggests a level where they can manage work-related tasks in Japanese, albeit with some effort. Their drive and commitment to personal and professional growth are evident in their profile.

【Tips】
For many companies in Tokyo, hiring foreign talent is indeed a common practice. However, the preference for on-site or hybrid work styles in these companies often presents a challenge when candidates, like the one in this case, seek fully remote work arrangements.

Your company, on the other hand, has established a system where the first month of employment requires on-site presence, followed by a transition to full remote work from the second month onward once the new employee has had the opportunity to integrate with the team. Such a flexible approach is beneficial in expanding the scope of potential hires and reaching a wider range of talents.
