It offers a comprehensive payment service, "PG Multi-Payment Service," along with various other solutions, serving over 100,000 e-commerce and online businesses—one of the largest market shares in the payment industry.
With the continued growth of e-commerce and cashless transactions, the market is experiencing steady upward growth. The company operates in a stable business environment while continuously creating new value to drive further expansion.
■Work Environment
The System Division is divided into five departments, each of which is responsible for the development and operation of services such as EC/DX support services, services for financial institutions, public services, deferred payment, remittance, and digital payroll services.
■The Four Key Advantages of Being a System Engineer at the Company
1. Work in a Growing Industry and a High-Growth Company
The company operates in the rapidly expanding payment industry and has achieved 17 consecutive years of revenue and profit growth since its IPO. With a target of 25% annual operating profit growth, the fast-evolving environment offers continuous opportunities for new challenges.

With a focus on both speed and quality, the company continuously refines its PDCA cycles, ensuring that its products meet market and customer needs faster than competitors.

■What You Can Gain
・System Development Expertise
You will lead the development of payment services provided by the company as a service. Many of the services are a combination of open source technologies and products such as Java, Spring, Tomcat, and nginx. The company emphasizes in-house development, so engineers will develop their own technical skills as well as a sense of balance in organizing the team. Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid development methods are used for each service.
・Fast-Paced, Agile Work Environment
In this rapidly changing payment industry, the company promotes decision-making, planning, and implementation with a sense of speed that large companies do not have. Engineers are always required to be agile and ready to take on new challenges.
・Growth as a Technologist and Professional
Building a payment service requires a deep knowledge of payments. It also requires a constant interest in new technologies and utilizing them to enhance the usability of the service. You will be able to enhance your knowledge, skills, and management abilities by working with a diverse group of experts.
In addition, a high level of speed, quality, security, and performance is required in order to expand market share in the future, so you can grow both as an engineer and as a person.
・Management skills to build the company's own services
Against a background of growing interest in FinTech and advanced financial services in society, many projects are planned to plan and develop new payment services in collaboration with large banks such as major and regional banks and large public customers. In cooperation with customers and vendors, you will manage projects lasting from six months to a year and lasting dozens to hundreds of man-months. You will gain experience working with a wide variety of stakeholders, including card companies and banks.
