About MorningStar

MorningStar Shibuya-ku, Tokyo

MorningStar is a VC-funded Tokyo startup helping job seekers discover career opportunities they might otherwise miss. Its small, English-first team is preparing to launch its first product.

About the position

This role is primarily focused on data work, alongside light service deployment, operations, and troubleshooting support as our systems grow.

We’re looking for a minimum of a 3-month commitment.

Responsibilities

  • Support data gathering and processing work for the product
  • Assist with service deployment, operations, and maintenance
  • Support troubleshooting and analysis as needed
  • Work hands-on with cloud infrastructure and databases

Requirements

  • Business-level English or Japanese
  • Competency with Shell commands
  • Competency with database SQL
  • Familiarity with Python
  • Experience with AWS (or strong familiarity with a comparable cloud platform)
  • You must already hold work authorization valid in Japan (Japanese citizenship, permanent residency, a spouse/dependent visa with work rights, or a student visa with 資格外活動許可 permitting part-time work). We’re not able to sponsor a new visa for this internship, though there may be a path to a full-time role — and full sponsorship — later.

Nice to haves

While not specifically required, tell us if you have any of the following.

  • Business-level Chinese (for cross-team coordination)
  • Familiarity with basic Kubernetes (K8s) operations in a cloud-native environment
  • Familiarity with common middleware and data flow in enterprise cloud environments

Compensation

¥1,800–2,800/hour (depending on experience), hours negotiable
