About

Founder @GrowthPit | ex-Mercari I founded GrowthPit to solve hiring challenges in Japan’s tech industry — for both candidates and companies. With hands-on experience as a Group Product Manager and Engineering Manager at Mercari, I know what it takes to hire, grow, and lead teams. That background allows me to support candidates as a true career partner, and companies as a hiring partner who speaks the language of the field. GrowthPit combines: ▪️ Recruiting services specialized in technical roles such as Software Engineers and Product Managers ▪️ Job board “JapanTechCareers,” connecting top overseas tech talent with Japanese tech companies ▪️ A thriving community of hundreds of tech professionals offering mentoring, networking, and events Our mission is simple: accelerate hiring without compromising on quality, and create lasting matches that empower both individuals and organizations. 📩 sangjik@growth.jp
