About JapanDev

JapanDev publishes practical hiring guides, salary benchmarks and market news for companies building software teams in Tokyo and Japan. Every article is produced by a small, permanent editorial team and checked against primary sources before publication.

How our articles are produced

• Each guide starts from a real hiring question we hear from employers: a role to fill, a budget to set, a process to fix.
• Figures come from primary sources (official statistics, company filings, published salary data) and are dated in the text so readers can judge their freshness.
• Every article carries the name of the editor responsible for it, and we update guides when the market moves rather than leaving stale advice online.
• We do not publish sponsored rankings and we do not accept payment for placement in our guides.
