English learning using artificial intelligence.
SpeakBuddy is an online service that helps users acquire language abilities. We believe that the spoken language sends a message not to the brain, but to the heart. Language learners need tons of speaking practice, but that costs too much money and time, so we created AI buddies on a smartphone. SpeakBuddy helps learners to acquire solid language skills, especially focusing on speaking skills.
Our communication
We typically use both English and Japanese for internal communication. More than 20% of our members are from different countries including the US, the UK, Australia, Netherlands, Norway, and China. Also, many of our Japanese members speak conversational level English.
However, the users of our services are Japanese, so some Japanese reading and speaking proficiency would be a great asset, though not a hard requirement.
Overseas applicants welcomed
We accept overseas developers looking to relocate to Japan. In some cases, we may accept remote work from overseas, but we’ll handle this on a case-by-case basis.
Our response to COVID-19
We started full-remote work from April 2020, and we’re continuing that work style now. Members can also come to the office in Minami-Aoyama, but basically you can work anywhere you want. We haven’t decided the details definitively, but we might require members to commute to the office once a week / month after the COVID-19 situation ends.
