Careers at NAVER Z USA

The Metaverse is Coming

Our Story

Founded in 2018, Naver Z is the team behind ZEPETO, a global leader in the 3D metaverse – harnessing the power of the avatar to even the playing field for our primarily Gen Z user base to create, play, and grow their digital presence. Part social media, part digital marketplace, part game – using your ZEPETO avatar you can be part of and build something much larger than real life. 

The ZEPETO user base is over 200 million strong and located in nearly every country on the map – and we’re still actively growing. Our users are immensely creative (creating over 1.5 million items for sale within the ZEPETO ecosystem) and consistently raising the bar for how they can utilize ZEPETO to create their ideal virtual identity and universe.

Our team is made up of creators, community-builders, strategists, trendspotters (and setters), and digital innovators coming together from some of the top tech companies in the US.

Our Ethos

Our mission as Naver Z USA is twofold

• To power the imagination, expression, and connection for all of the diverse communities on ZEPETO
• To drive creative and technological innovation for the ZEPETO product

As a team this is how we operate

  • Individual growth is as important as the company’s growth. Take the time to learn, explore, and grow in your role – and utilize our education stipend to do so.
  • Why we do matters more than what or how much we do. We never lose sight of our users and what exactly they’re looking for on ZEPETO to guide our decisions and initiatives.
  • “Fail fast, fail often, fail forward.” Failure is always ok, as long as we learn from it.
  • Start small, go big with confidence. (In other words: test, test, test.)
  • Dare to disagree. We have all been hired for our expertise, so healthy discussion and disagreements are encouraged.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The more active and involved we are, the more we all grow together.
