I'm not sure where the lack of job title comes from, but from reading the post I gather that you're looking for a Japanese-speaking designer who has built large sites in Rails. Is this about right?

Um, good point, thanks. :-) Updated.

> # be fluent in English.

> # have native-level Japanese fluency with polished business Japanese skills

Ray, you might find it necessary to soften those requirements. As you know, most Japanese hackers aren't nowhere near fluent in English. And by requiring "native-level" in Japanese you exclude all the foreign developers, even those who speak Japanese fluently or at "business level".

I work in a mixed environment (Japanese and foreigners) and we have both Japanese and foreign clients. We try to hire bilingual people but often it's not possible if we also want high technical skills. Even companies like Google Japan and Amazon Japan mention in their job ads that fluent English is not required! My suggestion is that you require fluency in one language and business level in the other.

By the way, I'd apply for the job anyway, but I don't have a lot of experience with web development.

Cool! I recently moved from SF to Tokyo and so have a vested interest in this, but I wish more startups went after the Japanese market at an earlier stage. Based on the popularity of twitter and sheer number of iPhones I see on a daily basis there's a ton of potential.

I'm not a potential hire but your visit sounds like a good excuse for an informal meetup of hacker news readers in Tokyo. Have time?

We're definitely going after the Japanese market at an early stage. :-)

I'd love to meet up. Shoot me an email at ray@ and we can set up a time!
