Careers

Store operations, sourcing and buyback, and sales planning across EC and social media.
We are looking for someone to grow a used camera store with us.

Keeping film culture alive — through commerce.

We are an AI development company at heart, but keeping analog photography alive is a business we take just as seriously. Selling used cameras and lenses sits at the center of it: judging the condition of each piece, buying it at a fair price, and passing it on to its next owner. The work demands both a trained eye and business sense.

The role spans store management, sourcing and buyback, and sales planning across the shop, our online store, and social media — broad responsibility, and real ownership to match. If you can give both the numbers and the customers your full attention, come build the store with us in Kinshicho, Tokyo.
