About Mercari
Circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all people
"What can I do to help society thrive with the finite resources we have?" The Mercari marketplace app was born in 2013 out of this thought by our founder Shintaro Yamada as he traveled the world. We believe that by circulating all forms of value, not just physical things and money, we can create opportunities for anyone to realize their dreams and contribute to society and the people around them. Mercari aims to use technology to connect people all over the world and create a world where anyone can unleash their potential. For more information about Mercari Groupâs mission, seeMercariâs Culture Doc
Organization/Team Mission
Mercari R4D is a research and development organization established to create future innovations toward a society where we can circulate all forms of value to unleash the potential in all peopleâwhich is the goal of Mercari Groupâunder the mission of "pioneering the path to unknown value." At R4D, we have emphasized a "Co-innovation" approach to pioneer new value. Co-innovation is an R&D framework that transcends community boundariesâsuch as industry, academia, and governmentâto collaborate and jointly aim to solve social issues and realize a better society. Since its establishment, R4D has consistently aimed to act as a hub connecting all communities.
To become a world-leading hub for such Co-innovation, R4D hopes to create a place where anyone can experience the possibilities of future innovation through Mercari's research.
Currently, based on the core concept of "changing the way value is exchanged through the power of technology," we are conducting research and development in a wide range of fields, including AI, blockchain, HCI (Human-Computer Interaction), quantum computing, mobility, communication, and ELSI (Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues), aiming to create future innovations for Mercari Group's services and businesses.
We are currently seeking a Researcher in the ELSI field. The ELSI Researcher will closely collaborate with various teams within Mercari Group as well as external research institutions such as universities, explore the ELSI associated with the social implementation of advanced technologies, and lead projects aimed at creating innovation and realizing a better society.
