Revision - it developer career - inZOI Wiki

Overview

The IT Developer Career is one of six new active careers shipped in the v0.8.0 update on April 29, 2026. IT Developers work programming desks at tech offices, writing code, debugging, and shipping builds. The career is available in Dowon and Bliss Bay.

As with every other v0.8.0 career, IT Developer hiring uses the interview-then-impress acceptance flow. A Zoi must apply, attend a scheduled interview, and pass a skills check before they can begin work.

How to Apply

Open the Smartphone (P key) and tap the Career app.
Browse Dowon and Bliss Bay listings for the IT Developer role.
Tap Apply, then schedule an interview slot.
Show up at the workplace and complete the interview.
Impress the interviewer to be accepted; the first shift slots into the daily plan automatically.

Building Programming Skill before the interview makes the skills check easier and shortens the early-rank promotion window.

Career Type

Detail	Value
Type	Active
Acceptance Flow	Interview-then-impress (v0.8.0 standard)
Cities	Dowon, Bliss Bay
Workplace	Tech office lot in each supported city
Pay Distribution	Daily salary
Eligible Life Stages	Young Adult, Adult, Middle-Aged
Schedule Stacking	Stackable with school and a business when schedules do not overlap; priority order school, career, business.

Daily Tasks

Sit at a programming desk and run code-writing tasks.
Debug failing builds when the workplace flags them.
Attend short stand-ups with coworkers (counts toward team project contribution).
Push completed work using the workplace terminal.
Read tech documentation between active sprints to top off the off-task gauge.

The Zoi's Programming Skill determines how fast each programming task fills the daily progress bar. Higher-skill Zois clear primary tasks earlier and can pursue bonus tasks for extra promotion gain.

Skills That Help

Skill	Why It Helps
Programming Skill	Core skill. Faster code-writing and debugging.
Critical Thinking Skill	Improves edge-case bug fixes and complex problem-solving tasks.
Social Skill	Smooths team-project contribution by improving coworker interactions.

Performance and Promotion

Promotion runs on the v0.8.0 evaluation system: daily salary, daily attendance scoring, and routine performance reviews. Frequent absences or repeated underperformance can result in termination. Long-tenure developers can retire and trigger the v0.8.0 retirement party social event with a severance payout.

Leave and Remote Work

Paid leave: register through the home computer.
Sick leave: triggered when the Zoi cannot attend due to needs failure.
Remote work: most code-writing tasks support remote work; in-person debugging sessions still require workplace attendance.

Team Projects

Coding projects scale up to four-day collaborative team projects. Contribution is tracked individually and factored into evaluations. A Zoi who pushes high-quality code on team-project days earns a bigger evaluation bump than one who coasts.

Tips

Raise Programming to at least mid-tier before applying. The interview filter is real and a higher floor smooths early shifts.
Use remote-work days for solo coding sprints, save in-person days for debugging and team projects.
Pair the IT Developer Career with a freelance Creative or Publishing license once available; software work fits the v0.8.0 freelance system cleanly.
