My name is James from J-Tech.dev. I am a specialist recruiter for software engineering. I speak Japanese and English and can write a little bit of code. Our goal is to tell you about the newest tech companies in Tokyo.
Global Fintech Company - Fastest Growing Engineering Team in Japan
Global team spread across North America and Asia
Office is located inside of a WeWork office
Very competitive salaries
Startup atmosphere
Modern tech stack
**Now hiring Software Engineers (back-end, data engineering, mobile (iOS and Android), machine learning, and others)**
Our office is in Shibuya. Could you meet for a 30-minute career consultation to hear about this new exciting company?
Even if you are not looking right now, we take a long term approach towards supporting candidates like yourself.
Hope to hear from you,
James Porter

My emails probably started in June 2015. And I probably erased a bunch.

  • June 2015 - Tony Morris J-Tech International
  • Octobre 2015 - Tony Morris J-Tech International
  • mai 2016 - Stan Miller J-Tech International
  • dec 2016 - Kyle Slater J-Tech International
  • I must have deleted these.
  • mai 2019 - James Porter J-Tech.dev
  • november 2019 - James Porter J-Tech.dev

I received the same email.
In Japanese from James Porter.
I'm relieved to know it's spam.
