Are you prepared to work with cutting-edge technologies firsthand? The HENNGE Global Internship Program (GIP) 2026 in Tokyo, Japan, is currently accepting applications. This is a fantastic chance for recent graduates and international students to work at HENNGE’s headquarters in Shibuya, one of Japan’s top IT districts.
The internship lasts four to six weeks and covers two tracks: Front-end Software Engineering and Full Stack Software Engineering. In addition to exploring cutting-edge tools like Amazon Web Services (AWS), participants will obtain hands-on experience creating real-world applications using Python, Go, and TypeScript. Fluency in English suffices; no knowledge of Japanese is necessary.
The internship is completely sponsored, even though it is unpaid, and includes travel, assistance with passports and visas, medical insurance, lodging subsidies, and a data-capable Japanese cell phone. In addition, fellows will participate in networking events, cultural events, and technical courses.
A full-time job offer at HENNGE may even be extended to exceptional participants. This program offers a rare opportunity to develop your software abilities, take in the dynamic tech culture of Japan, and mature in a genuinely global setting.
