Solving the IT human resource shortage by hiring pro-Japanese engineers! Interview with Bangladeshi IT company Japan Bangla Coders Ltd!

JB CODERS is based in Bangladesh and provides offshore development services. We can develop custom-made products without the need for in-house IT engineers, simply by explaining the requirements and paying for the delivered product. The advantage of outsourcing an IT project is that the project is not dependent on an in-house IT engineer. As long as no additional requests are made or requirements are changed mid-development, the project can save on both labor and time costs.

We develop games for PCs and smartphones according to the wishes of our clients. We also specialize in 2DCG, 3DCG, and VR games. I also design characters and maintain game applications after launch. Our strength is that we have experts who can create games in genres such as RTS, FPS/TPS, MOBA, RPG, simulation, sports, puzzle, and party, depending on your wishes.

We can provide a wide range of services including web service development and system maintenance and operation. In addition, we are also developing an introduction service for Bangladeshi IT personnel for companies facing IT development challenges. Through on-demand dispatch development, we can manage IT engineers dispatched from our company. We assign a team of IT engineers with various qualifications based on your requirements, and they will only work on your projects from Bangladesh for the duration of the contract. IT projects are managed by our in-house IT team at all times, allowing us the flexibility to work on projects as per the company's requirements.

Everyone is always friendly. We are open, flexible, knowledgeable in technology, and most importantly, we are a tight-knit group. New ideas are always welcome. We also make a conscious effort to create a diverse environment.

I think so. Bangladesh is working on " Digital Bangladesh " as a national policy, and has a large number of engineers. As a result, IT companies from various countries are entering Bangladesh or considering Bangladesh as an outsourcing destination. In addition, the entire country is currently engaged in human resource development to build world-class skills in all fields related to ICT and English, so I believe that the country will become even more exciting in the future.

We use Slack, Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams. We also exchange messages on LinkedIn.

I have an image of Japanese people as very disciplined people. Bangladeshis also feel a sense of kinship with Japan because of the similarities in the national flags.

This picture shows the flags of Bangladesh and Japan in the JB CODERS office. Both have a red circle in the center, the symbol of the sun, which represents unity and strong energy. We believe that Bangladesh and Japan can collaborate and build each other's capacity. Bangladesh and Japan have signed eight agreements and memorandums of understanding on agriculture, defense, ICT, cyber security, etc. In April 2023, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visited Tokyo for two days at the invitation of Prime Minister Kishida. Thus, Bangladesh and Japan are very friendly in terms of diplomatic relations.

In terms of gaming, Bangladesh has a market of 70 million active online users. Taking advantage of this market should be a very lucrative option for game development. I personally love Cox's Bazar, the longest natural beach in the world. The entire country also has a rich natural climate.

In game technology, I am interested in Unity, Unreal Engine, CryEngine, Amazon Lumberyard, Flutter, Mixamo, and others. In terms of game genres, we are interested in adventure games and educational games. As for Japanese content, anime is still popular in Bangladesh. The colorful, unique characters and in-depth storylines, as well as the variety of anime produced on a wide range of themes such as adventure, sports, and cooking, are successful methods of attracting user interest. We receive a great number of requests for animated game content, and our designers are sometimes in charge of the animation itself, but it is a very time-consuming process due to the high level of Japanese standards (smiles).

JB CODERS' concept is to create a society and environment where diversity is tolerated globally. Our "diversity" means that we create superior products that meet the multifaceted needs of our customers. Our mission is to create a more advanced society through collaboration with our customers. We are also working hard every day to provide a place where talented and pro-Japanese Bangladeshi IT professionals can play an active role, and to provide not only recruitment support but also comprehensive IT solutions to companies that are facing system issues due to a shortage of IT human resources. We are looking for business partners who share our business model and vision and can build a sustainable business.

If you are a company looking to outsource an entire new project, fill a vacancy in your IT staff right now, or review your existing system costs, we can help you with three aspects of your needs: contract development, lab-based development, and recruitment support! We are proficient in DevOps, AI, ML, DL, AR, VR, IoT, Flutter, Python, Golang, ROR, React Native, and Unity. We have a 25 strong team of engineers in Bangladesh for offshore development and can meet all client expectations based on our extensive experience and track record. We are also looking for Japanese remote engineers. We would like to collaborate with those who are interested in application development!
