Tech Jobs in JP Tokyo

Positions 16,901 Updated daily

Tokyo’s tech scene is booming thanks to a mix of global giants and a vibrant startup ecosystem. Companies like LINE, Rakuten, and Mercari are hiring thousands of engineers, while incubators in Shibuya and Roppongi nurture AI and fintech innovations. The city’s excellent infrastructure and international talent pool make it a magnet for tech professionals seeking growth and exposure.

Tech roles in Tokyo span software engineering, data science, AI research, product management, UX design, DevOps, cybersecurity, mobile development, cloud architecture, and blockchain. Industries driving demand include e‑commerce (Zozotown), gaming (DeNA, CyberAgent), fintech (GMO, SBI), automotive connected‑car (Toyota, Honda), robotics (Fujitsu, NEC), and biotech. Many of these firms are headquartered in Marunouchi, Chiyoda, or the high‑tech corridor around Shinjuku.

Living in Tokyo can be expensive: a one‑bedroom apartment in Shibuya averages ¥200,000 per month, and commuting costs add up quickly. Transparent salary listings let you gauge whether a role’s pay—typically ¥10M‑¥15M for mid‑level software engineers—covers living expenses. With clear numbers up front, you can negotiate better, choose the right neighborhood, and avoid hidden costs that could erode your take‑home pay.
