Although the Mercari API was designed and implemented as a monolithic API, we are working on migrating the API to microservices. This will allow us to divide responsibilities and make technological investments for a stronger system and organization capable of handling even greater expansion. Of course, we will continue to run our services as we implement these changes, and we aim to make daily improvements to provide an even better experience for our customers.
We are seeking backend engineers who can work proactively and independently during the team’s current stage, taking ownership over various discussions, developing features, providing spec feedback, and making technical decisions.
