Open positions
Tsugu Tsugu Inc. , which provides a wide range of products and services related to kintsugi, was founded on March 2, 2020. Despite having been founded right in the middle of a pandemic, the company has been growing rapidly.
At first, the company was run by a single representative, but orders for kintsugi kits were so overwhelming that more hands were needed. In October 2020, Tsugu Tsugu Inc. hired its first employee. In 2021, the number of employees increased further (from 1 to 4), and the company started having full-time employees. By March 2022, the company had 7 employees. It has also started hiring foreign staff members, which has made Tsugu Tsugu Inc. an even more international and interesting company to work at.
We previously had to take down job postings because we had received far more applications than we expected. Even when there is no job opening advertised, we receive an increasing amount of messages from skilled professionals interested in kintsugi. Some of them have joined our company.
From now on, we will not post our open positions as often. However, we are always on the lookout for talented people who share our vision and want to work with us! If you are interested in joining our company, please check the hiring process at the bottom of the page.
