At the first Line Taiwan TechPulse event, where a Line team met with its partners in the country, the firm announced that it has 20 job openings in software development available for Taiwanese talent.
Line is a Japanese subsidiary of South Korean Internet search giant Naver.
Line aims to hire Taiwanese talent as front-end engineers, server-side engineers, quality assurance engineers, client-side engineers, security engineers and information technology engineers, it said.
It said the engineers need strong technology development capabilities, would need to have the ability to communicate across borders, as Line is a global operator, and will be required to work as a team.

In addition, they should also be willing to take risks and not be afraid of making mistakes, Chen said.
In addition to Taiwan, Line is seeking talent in Thailand and Indonesia to help the company develop next-generation software for more applications that would cater to different cultures in markets around the world, Chen said.
