Your Software Development job questions, answered
Java, C++ and C# are the most commonly used programming languages among Software Developers. However, depending what type of Software Developer you are, you may want to pick up skills in other languages.
Front End Developers mostly focusing on the design aspect tend to have React, Angular, Vue, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS in their arsenal, while back-end developers working on coding and integration typically use .NET, C#, SQL, Java, PHP, Python, AWS, Azure, CI / CD. Full Stack Developer will use a combination of both.
Competition is fierce for developers with expertise in key skills like Java and JavaScript as well as Python and C#.
Additionally, the use of cloud-based technologies and DevOps has grown rapidly, causing demand for AWS, Docker, Kubernetes and GCP skills to rise.
Software Developer salaries will vary according to experience, industry, and location. The good news is that salaries are typically high, ranging between 5 - 15mil Yen across Full Stack, Mobile, Server Side, and Front End Developers.

As it’s a highly technical job, expect a rigorous coding skills assessment. Once employers are confident of your technical capabilities, the focus will turn to soft skills. Reasoning and problem-solving skills are critical, so expect interviewers to probe into past experiences and be prepared to show how you’ve overcome challenges in such situations before.
The industry will continue to grow, given that organisations are ramping up on their digital transformation plans. Good Software Developers and DevOps professionals – already in short supply – will be in high demand.
Investment in AI is also continuously growing as organisations want to make use of Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. More developers will be needed to build AI functionality into software applications, so any training and experience you have in this area will be highly valuable. Developments in the use of VR, AR and MR will also create a need for more development expertise in these areas.
