Full job description
Glance AI is an AI commerce platform shaping the next wave of e-commerce with inspiration-led shopping, less about searching for what you want and more about discovering who you could be. Operating in 140 countries, Glance AI transforms every screen into a stage for instant, personal, and joyful discovery, where inspiration becomes something you can explore, feel, and shop in the moment.

Why Glance AI
Ownership. You will not be confined to one category or one type of partner. You operate where you can also build a portfolio that is genuinely yours.
Structural backing without big-company friction. Glance is part of InMobi Group with proven scale (Glance reaches 400M+ monthly users globally) and infrastructure already built, but JP operates as a startup with founding-team on strategy and deals. Backed by strong global investors including SoftBank and Google, with SoftBank as anchor partner in Japan
A first-team seat in Japan. The JP strategy is being written now. The partner playbook and deal architecture that will be replicated across other markets such as Korea, Germany, UK, Australia in the future.
Real category creation, not incremental work. Work on genuinely new, AI-first agentic commerce — built from the ground up, not an improvement on today's shopping
Culture. Work with smart, humble people who value openness, trust, and honest collaboration
Competitive salary and benefits: Benchmarked against roles at comparable global tech in Tokyo, meaningful equity grant, annual performance bonus tied to outcomes, plus full health, retirement, and standard Japan-market benefits.
