What will you be doing? 

  • Own end-to-end design for key journeys across Glance's surfaces — from research and flows through wireframes, polished visual design and prototypes 
  • Turn complex, AI-driven commerce experiences into intuitive, visually compelling designs that resonate with Japanese users

  • Use user research, testing, and data to validate decisions and continuously improve the experience 
  • Contribute to and apply Glance's design system, maintaining consistency and quality across the product 

Key Requirements: 

  • Around 4–7 years in product design, UX/UI, or interaction design, with a strong portfolio of shipped consumer products 
  • Proven ability to own design end to end — from problem framing and user flows to final UI 
  • Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools (e.g. Figma) and familiarity with design systems 
  • Strong grasp of mobile-first and responsive design, with the ability to balance user needs and business goals 
  • Business-level Japanese and English

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. 

 

Since 2019, Glance has built the extraordinary. Beyond just technology. It has built a way of working.

Across 5 offices in around 3 countries, through every pivot and breakthrough, one thing has remained constant: we are builders, dreamers, doers. We are fluid enough to move fast, grounded enough to own outcomes, and human enough to care deeply about the work and about one another.

Culture is at the core of that ethos. It has been co-created by the people who built this company and by those continuing to shape it every day. It lives in how we work, how decisions are made, how teams show up for one another, and how seriously we take the responsibility to build the best.

This is a place where ambition and belonging occupy the same space. Where the bar is high and the support is real. Where freedom comes with trust, and trust comes with accountability. Where you are valued not only for what you do, but for the perspective, judgment and humanity you bring to the work. Where you will be challenged by the work and supported by the communities, passions and experiences that shape who you are beyond your role.

If this sounds like the place you have been looking for, join us.
