We are looking for operation team members
Surveying, development, and operation of this service is currently done by one person, and manpower is lacking... There's a lot we want to do, and we need your help to achieve it...!
Points to Note
Currently, this service has almost no revenue... Please understand that it will be mostly on a volunteer basis until we can return it stably.
For the story behind the service, please see "What is Suwaripocket".
Also, the manager operates a YouTube channel related to this service (performer, planning, editing). Therefore, someone who can work independently would be helpful. *Regular communication and web meetings are possible. We also have a Discord channel to invite you to.
Given the above, help in your spare time or light advice would be helpful.
