Proxy buying and package forwarding for Japanese e-commerce
White Rabbit Japan operates a proxy buying and package forwarding service connecting international customers to Japanese retail, marketplaces, and auction sites. The tech stack (Vue, Node.js, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, GCP) supports a lean, full-stack operation, but the project backlog signals internal scaling friction: HR data reporting, performance appraisal systems, and recruitment process improvements sit alongside core product work (Japan Rabbit, Blackship). Pain points cluster around operational bottlenecks and engineering team scaling—typical constraints for a 11–50 person service business managing logistics complexity.
White Rabbit Japan provides proxy buying and package forwarding services that let international customers purchase directly from Japanese online retailers, marketplaces, and auction platforms. The company operates two service tiers: Japan Rabbit, a full-service offering, and Blackship, a lower-cost self-service shipping option. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Yokohama, the company serves customers globally while maintaining a small, Japan-based operations footprint. Current headcount and hiring activity remain minimal, with ops roles dominating the team structure.
