Hi all. I’ve come across some old threads discussing this and found a useful resource in JapanDev’s data, but most of the posts/data is related to SWE specifically.
I’m a senior Cloud/Security Engineer and will hit about 10 years of experience when I’m looking to move with my wife. She lived in Japan for about a decade and a half and is fluent in Japanese.
I’ve noticed the demand for Cloud Engineers, Devops, SRE, Security Engineers etc has gone up recently. What other skill sets can I focus on rounding out that will make me stand out to Japanese employers? Thanks for your help!

Japanese language proficiency is important, N1 certification ideal. The minority of positions particularly at international companies may get by in English but you’ll understand these are scarce and competitive.
If you’ve already got a decade of experience in cloud computing, you’re already a walking gold mine. If you get to a conversational level of Japanese at least then you can pretty much get any job you want.
