The market right now
Alion currently lists 14,685 open Tech jobs in Japan from 2,533 companies. 380 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 1,544 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 3,734 of the 14,685 carry the marks of a stale or abandoned posting - open far beyond the usual time to fill, reposted, or on a board that mostly never closes a role - and are marked as likely inactive; the list can hide them. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
What these roles pay
7,110 of these Tech jobs in Japan state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $51K and $114K a year, with a median of $66K. By level, the median runs junior at $64K, middle at $117K, senior at $84K, staff at $96K, lead at $95K, and head+ at $96K. The step from junior to head+ is worth about 1.5x on median pay. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are Japan (11,516), Spain (39), Singapore (29), South Korea (14), and Hong Kong (12). 6% offer a hybrid arrangement, while the rest expect you on site.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Tech jobs in Japan right now are Rakuten (213), Hitachi (190), NTT DATA (144), Amazon (130), Honda (121), and CyberAgent (116).

What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are AWS (4,475), Python (3,040), JavaScript (2,640), GitHub (2,623), GCP (2,566), TypeScript (2,321), Azure (2,004), and Docker (1,670). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
Relocation, visas and equity
Of the current Tech jobs in Japan, 150 state visa sponsorship, 222 offer a relocation package, and 167 include equity. These are filters on the list above, so you can narrow it to the ones that make a move possible for you.

Are all of these Tech jobs in Japan still being filled?
Probably not all of them. 3,734 of the 14,685 show the marks Alion reads as a likely inactive posting: open far longer than employers usually take to fill such a role, reposted several times, or sitting on a board that rarely closes anything. They stay listed with a warning, and the list can hide them with one switch.
