About Artytech

At Artytech, we support small and medium-sized businesses with web development, digital marketing, and operational solutions that go beyond templates. Based in Koenji, Tokyo, we combine hands-on development with practical business understanding to deliver value.

We’re a small but highly flexible team, working closely with our clients to create web applications, landing pages, and tailor-made digital tools.
If you enjoy building things from scratch, working autonomously, and being part of a team where your voice matters, you’ll feel right at home here.

We’re also looking for someone who can understand database structures and query logic, and manage multiple tasks efficiently in a fast-paced, hands-on environment.

Salary: 300,000 – 400,000 JPY/month (before tax) based on experience
