Employment Information

The software development team is the central nervous system of Liberal Logic Inc. While our main business area is the core software for professional video and audio equipment, we also use the knowledge we gain there to work on development in completely different areas. Success in areas where software development is essential depends on the behavior of the software you and your team create. The things we consider important are wide-ranging. The following is a list of these things, but we do not expect you to cover all of them. The reason we have listed so many items here is to minimize the mismatch between expectations and reality in both corporate and individual recruitment, by having you look at the list and understand the direction we are aiming for. Liberal Logic Inc. carries out recruitment through referrals. If you are interested in working for us, please contact us through a person involved with Liberal Logic Inc. The hiring process includes a simple technical test. This technical test is either a technical test that simulates a small-scale software development project that can be completed in a few hours, or a technical test that simulates a small-scale software development project that can be worked on at any time during a one-month period. The salary will be decided after consultation and agreement between both parties, taking into account a variety of factors, including your previous career and the content of your specific development achievements, the results of the technical test conducted during the recruitment process, your approach to engineering and other matters, your philosophy on work, and social and economic conditions.
