Take Ownership

Take the initiative

LINE developers are asked to take the initiative when working on a project. They should try to see the nature of a problem and seek out a creative resolution in order to achieve higher quality output.

Inspire others

Developers should be responsible for their opinions and projects and engage in proactive communications. They get involved from planning and make non-technological proposals to achieve better results.

Be Open

Be constructive

Internally, we try to disclose information such as the source code and documents of products and incident reports. Collaboration with an open mind leads to high-quality development and personal growth.

Share knowledge

Externally, we share our experience from development projects via blogs, conferences, OSS and transparency reports. We encourage sharing information, and we have a dedicated team. All is in our culture.

Trust & Respect

Be inclusive

Working with colleagues from different countries and cultures in a project in global offices. We built an organization with mutual respect and psychological security, maximizing overall performance.

Positive Peer Pressure

We value communications and feedback based on trust and respect. We maintain software quality by sharing candid and constructive suggestions and opinions, and with an exchange of healthy critique.
