Software Engineer in Japan

Japan's tech industry is booming, offering excellent opportunities for software engineers from overseas.

Japan is experiencing a severe IT talent shortage, creating abundant opportunities for software engineers. Major companies like Rakuten, Mercari, Sony, and Toyota are actively hiring international talent. English-speaking roles are increasingly common, especially at global companies and startups. Average salaries range from ¥5-12 million annually depending on experience. JLPT N2 or higher is beneficial but many companies now conduct interviews in English.
