SailPoint is an American identity security company founded in 2005 that governs who has access to what across an organisation's systems, a problem distinct from simply logging users in. Its platform discovers entitlements across applications, runs the certification reviews auditors require, provisions and removes access as people join and change roles, and increasingly governs machine identities, which now vastly outnumber human ones. Headquartered in Austin, it was taken private by Thoma Bravo in 2022 and returned to the New York Stock Exchange in 2025, and it sells largely to regulated enterprises where access reviews are a statutory requirement.

Based only on the listings that state pay. Gross annual amounts, converted to USD so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
The market right now
Alion currently lists 312 open Standards jobs in Japan from 175 companies. 19 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 107 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. 74 of the 312 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
114 of these Standards jobs in Japan state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $62K and $581K a year, with a median of $78K. 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 (243) and Singapore (1). 5% of the listings are fully remote and a further 12% are hybrid, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Standards jobs in Japan right now are Genech Communication (38), Rakuten (17), Zscaler (13), Money Forward (8), ExaWizards (5), and Cisco Systems (5). Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are AWS (163), ISO 27001 (117), GCP (71), Azure (68), Python (59), CI/CD (57), Windows (57), and Zero Trust (56). 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 Standards jobs in Japan, 3 state visa sponsorship, 5 offer a relocation package, and 8 include equity. These are filters on the list above, so you can narrow it to the ones that make a move possible for you.
