Japanese messaging app operator Line Corp on Monday said that it is planning to recruit software developers in Taiwan as part of a recruitment campaign that also involves other nations.
At the first Line Taiwan TechPulse event, where a Line team met with its partners in the country, the firm announced that it has 20 job openings in software development available for Taiwanese talent.
Line is a Japanese subsidiary of South Korean Internet search giant Naver.
Line aims to hire Taiwanese talent as front-end engineers, server-side engineers, quality assurance engineers, client-side engineers, security engineers and information technology engineers, it said.
It said the engineers need strong technology development capabilities, would need to have the ability to communicate across borders, as Line is a global operator, and will be required to work as a team.
Cheng Hung-chia (陳鴻嘉), head of Line’s research and development division, said that as part of a team, the engineers should be open-minded to external factors.
In addition, they should also be willing to take risks and not be afraid of making mistakes, Chen said.
In addition to Taiwan, Line is seeking talent in Thailand and Indonesia to help the company develop next-generation software for more applications that would cater to different cultures in markets around the world, Chen said.

The next five years are expected to be the peak for these royalties, with Taiwan potentially earning

Taiwan is awaiting official notification from the US regarding the status of the Agreement on Reciprocal Trade (ART) after the US Supreme Court ruled US President Donald Trump's global tariffs unconstitutional. Speaking to reporters before a legislative hearing today, Premier Cho Jung-tai (卓榮泰) said that Taiwan's negotiation team remains focused on ensuring that the bilateral trade deal remains intact despite the legal challenge to Trump's tariff policy. "The US has pledged to notify its trade partners once the subsequent administrative and legal processes are finalized, and that certainly includes Taiwan," Cho said when asked about opposition parties’ doubts that the ART was
If China chose to invade Taiwan tomorrow, it would only have to sever three undersea fiber-optic cable clusters to cause a data blackout, Jason Hsu (許毓仁), a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and former Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) legislator, told a US security panel yesterday. In a Taiwan contingency, cable disruption would be one of the earliest preinvasion actions and the signal that escalation had begun, he said, adding that Taiwan’s current cable repair capabilities are insufficient. The US-China Economic and Security Review Commission (USCC) yesterday held a hearing on US-China Competition Under the Sea, with Hsu speaking on
