Wave is a manga production and web services company running a mixed infrastructure stack (on-prem Oracle, Azure, AWS, GCP) while actively migrating hosting to the cloud—a pattern matching their documented pain around legacy infrastructure and post-release maintenance. The hiring push is heavily weighted toward engineering (15 of 18 open roles), with several Project Lead and senior positions, indicating a scaling phase focused on system reliability and platform modernization rather than content creation alone.
