MakeLeaps - On a mission to improve small business owners lives.
We're currently looking for Python/Django programmers. We're looking for interns as well.
Telecommuters are fine. Starting off with contract, moving to permanent positions.
Perks: We run the local Hacker News meetups in Tokyo, where you may join for free and drink as much beer as you like. If you do very well, there's also potential for you to be moved to Japan to work from our office in Tokyo.
I'm thinking of moving to Japan myself. Really enjoyed visiting it as a tourist. I learned the language for my side-project and planning to take a language proficiency test this December. Anybody need a Python programmer who worked at Yandex?
We're building Kabotip, a social app where users can tip content for free but receive real money when they get tipped.
Our tech stack is made of Clojure, PostgreSQL, TypeScript, JS, Android Java and Swift, and we're believers in testing and automation.
We're based in Tokyo, and are currently considering onboarding interns for engineering and marketing.
We're a founders-only team right now, so we'd favor someone who's not scared of a fast-paced startup environment.
Cool! I recently moved from SF to Tokyo and so have a vested interest in this, but I wish more startups went after the Japanese market at an earlier stage. Based on the popularity of twitter and sheer number of iPhones I see on a daily basis there's a ton of potential.
I'm not a potential hire but your visit sounds like a good excuse for an informal meetup of hacker news readers in Tokyo. Have time?
Btw. if there are Japanese geniuses here who can also code, I am making some apps for Mixi.jp (they recently opened for developers) and could consider doing some projects together. I studied Japanese in Tokyo for 2 years and have been making apps for a while. My email is in my profile.
Skyscanner | Tokyo, Japan | ONSITE | full-time employee or freelance
We are looking for both a fullstack web developer and an iOS programmer to join our Tokyo team, located just across the moat from the Imperial Palace.
At Skyscanner, you will work on a constantly-evolving product used on a daily basis by millions of people, all of them trying to get from Point A to Point B. Why Point B is so enticing in the first place is something we have yet to figure out.
This should sound both exciting and terrifying at the same time.
In practical terms, this means that you should feel that writing tests before writing code is The Right Way To Do Things. You should have strong opinions on technical issues, but also be able to work productively with the team even if they disagree with those opinions. And you should be excited at the idea of working in a balanced team, not just with other software engineers, but also with designers, marketers, and people of the sales persuasion.
You will also need to be comfortable tackling hard problems that you only loosely understand, and be willing to treat every line of code that you write as part of a massive science project -- which means that you might have to throw that code away if the experiment doesn't pan out.
I'm not going to lie: this is challenging work. But not a challenging work envrionment.
We support each other as a team. If you need something -- a book, a tool, a training course -- we will make that happen. We focus on Doing What Works, rather than Doing What Is Least Likely To Get Us In Trouble. And perhaps most importantly, we work at a sustainable pace. At the end of the day, we go home for dinner with our families and time with our friends.
If this sounds interesting to you, then let's chat.

Also very curious about the startup process in japan.
Or you could work for an American company in Japan where they work in English. For those who want to write software in the middle of Shibuya, my team and a couple others at Amazon are hiring :)
After graduating with a Master's Degree in IT-Security in Germany I moved to Japan, where I now would like to apply my knowledge acquired through my studies and part time jobs.
I'm interested in part-time or full-time positions in IT-Security or as an Administrator, Software Engineer/Developer or Software Tester but also open to other interesting opportunities.
… is looking to hire engineers with a strong interest in JavaScript, Ruby, node.js, coffeescript, AngularJS, and responsive design.
Gilt Japan was founded in 2008 as Japan’s leading online flash-sale fashion site; we’re well funded and growing fast. All members of our tech team have a direct impact on growing our business and creating a great experience for our customers.
Gilt’s offices are based in the easily accessible fashion district Ginza, in central Tokyo. Our international tech team has members from France, Italy, Romania, Ireland, America, Canada, Jordan, New Zealand and of course, Japan. Japanese skills are valued but not essential - we use English day-to-day.
I'm a software engineer who has helped several local startups rapidly develop prototypes and automate parts of their business process. I have a personal interest in natural language processing and have developed a grammar checker tool (think Grammarly) in the past. English and Japanese speaker.
Location: Fukuoka, Japan

French developer living in Japan. I have 10 years of professional experience in game and web development (and 10 more years of playing around with whatever interesting tech I could get my hands on). Recently, I spend most of my time on Unity3d (C#), Ruby on Rails, AngularJS, PostgreSQL...
My main interest resides in server-side and scaling (I have been building an indie MMO for the past 3 years, see my profile for details), but I pride myself on being a well-rounded geek, and not afraid to dive deep into anything I find interesting (for example I have developed an 2d-accelerated GPU on a FPGA because "why not?").
Feel free to email at erhune@littlebigmmo.com for anything, even just having a geeky conversation in front of a drink if you happen to be in Tokyo :)
Love this, and love that you're using Elixir LiveView as well as Elixir with the Slack bot and lastly that you're based in Tokyo.
Followed you on Github, I'm looking at moving (back) to Japan in two years, likely to start a bootstrapped startup business and always good to have dev friends!
