Mercari Engineering Principles

ENGINEERING CULTURE

Mercari Engineering Principles

Mercari Engineering Principles are a shared understanding that serves as the foundation of engineering beliefs and behavior at Mercari.


Mercari's mission, value, and common culture are shared among all Mercari members. The Engineering Principles are designed to complement this organizational identity from an engineering viewpoint.


These principles ultimately help us achieve Mercari's mission by defining the ideal state we seek to realize in the long term. Therefore, it is essential that all members of the Mercari Engineering Organization embrace this cultural perspective.

Sustainable Growth

Passion For The Product

We expect engineers at Mercari to engage in product development with a deep understanding of, and a burning passion for, our product. We do not simply solve problems from a technical viewpoint; engineers must embrace the passion for the products that they develop. With this passion, we believe we can promote the sustainable growth of our products and continue to deliver value to our users.

Strategic Support

Grow Together

Mercari’s Engineering organization is a place where everyone can grow together while pursuing high standards. Engineers can learn from each other, which not only improves their own skills, but ultimately contributes to better team performance. We further aspire to improve ourselves through proactive sharing and communication with communities external to our company.

Fostering synergy to spark innovative breakthroughs

Solve Through Mechanisms

In order for engineers to take on bold challenges, we need a culture that celebrates success while also learning from failures. At Mercari, we believe that the root cause of issues is organizational mechanisms, not individual members. Building better mechanisms is the best way for us to solve issues and pave the way for us to take on bold challenges.

Fostering synergy to spark innovative breakthroughs

Collaborate Openly

We encourage open collaboration, based on our culture of “ Trust & Openness ” and “Open Organization ”. In accordance with our culture, and to achieve our Mission, we engage in constructive communication and collaboration across our organizations, teams, and roles, thereby preventing silos from forming. This extends beyond the scope of Mercari, and applies to the wider industry and community that we are a part of. As one of the leading software companies in the industry, we circulate our knowledge throughout the industry by sharing organizational and technological information and collaborating with others.

ENGINEERING LADDER

Climbing Higher, Together

At Mercari, we believe that growth is as unique as the individuals who drive it. That’s why we’ve created the Engineering Ladder—a framework that not only respects the diverse skills, perspectives, and talents of our team but also fosters a strong, united culture. This ladder helps us align as an organization while providing clarity on the behaviors and expectations at every stage of an engineer’s journey. It’s more than just a guide; it’s a shared path for growth, innovation, and building something extraordinary together.
