And still hiring here in the Tokyo office :)

Do you work there? I checked the careers site a while ago (and now again that you mentioned it) but there were no technical positions open in Tokyo.

    Thanks. I wonder why the search results aren't consistent.

  Yes, I'm a developer in the mobile web team and we're one of the groups currently hiring. I really like this team and the company's infrastructure is very impressive. You should check us out. Here's the position from our jobs site: http://jp-amazon.icims.com/jobs/127264/job http://jp-amazon.icims.com/jobs/127264/job and other positions in Tokyo: http://www.amazon.co.jp/Search-Jobs-version2/b/ref=amb_link_53536406_3?ie=UTF8&node=52265051&pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=0GB6TRB705DWFYJSGKFA&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=51552449&pf_rd_i=236032011 http://www.amazon.co.jp/Search-Jobs-version2/b/ref=amb_link_... I'm not sure where we've advertised outside of our own site, but I'll ask. It may be that recruiters are posting for us, and recruiters typically don't mention the hiring company's name until you call them. If you send me your resume, though, I can figure out where to route it.

    Oh, I was searching over at amazon.com. It does return Tokyo positions but the results seem different. Thank you. Please let me know how to contact you.

I'm curious about corporate culture in an American company in Japan. Does that mean that it's not as bad as the salaryman horror stories that we often hear about? Would you say that the corporate culture in the offices is more American or Japanese? I've always wondered how those two styles would interact with each other.

  It's a mix of cultures but heavily tilted towards the culture of the headquarters. I think established businesses like Amazon attract people who fit into the culture of the company -- sure, it's an American company, but it's very different from Oracle or Twitter or Morgan Stanley.

In California a2z (subsidiary of AMZN) is hiring: http://www.a2z.com/jobs/ http://www.a2z.com/jobs/

  For those unfamiliar with the a2z name, they're the group that's been building some of the new Android apps like Amazon MP3 and the Amazon Appstore.
