11Overview22Technology is one of the career categories in inZOI, offering software development positions at two companies across Dowon and Bliss Bay. Like most careers in the game, Technology is a rabbit hole career: the Zoi leaves home and disappears during work hours rather than performing tasks on-screen. Technology careers provide competitive salaries and a strong connection to the Programming skill, making them appealing for Zois focused on technical pursuits.44Workplaces77Two software companies offer Technology positions, one in each city:99WorkplaceCityDescriptionDW SoftDowonA software development studio where "senior experts with an average of 20 years of experience lead the way in global innovation." Zois work through a standard developer career ladder from junior to lead positions.Blue Moon SoftBliss BayA software development studio that "boldly solves every problem with unprecedented creativity." Based in Bliss Bay, it follows the same developer career progression as DW Soft with identical pay and structure.1111Both workplaces are mechanically identical. The position titles, salaries, and promotion structure are the same at both companies. Neither company has a visitable physical location on the map; as rabbit hole workplaces, Zois board a taxi to commute and the building is not explorable. The only difference is the city requirement: DW Soft is exclusive to Dowon, and Blue Moon Soft is exclusive to Bliss Bay.1212Positions and Salaries1414Each workplace has three positions in a promotion hierarchy. Salaries are listed in Meow, the in-game currency. Position limits determine how many Zois can hold each rank at a given company.1616PositionSalary (Meow/Day)Position LimitJunior Developer4146Senior Developer9993Lead Developer1,84511818Both DW Soft and Blue Moon Soft share the identical table above. The entry-level salary of 414 Meow is higher than Corporate and Finance (378 Meow), though the top salary of 1,845 Meow is slightly lower than the Director/Portfolio Manager position (1,881 Meow).1919Work Schedule2121Both companies follow the same schedule:2323DetailValueWork DaysTuesday, Wednesday, ThursdayHours9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (9-hour shift)Days per Week3Career TypeFull-Time, Rabbit HoleAge RequirementYoung Adult to Middle-Aged2525Unlike some career paths where the two workplaces have different schedules (such as Corporate and Finance, where Aramir Group works Mon/Wed/Fri and Plutus Financial works Tue/Wed/Thu), both Technology companies share the same Tuesday through Thursday schedule with identical 9-hour shifts.2626How to Apply2828To apply for a Technology career position:3030Open the Smartphone by pressing P or clicking the phone iconNavigate to the Career appSelect the Recruitment tab to browse open positionsChoose a DW Soft (Dowon) or Blue Moon Soft (Bliss Bay) listing and submit the application3333There are no hard skill requirements to apply for the Junior Developer position. The Zoi must be at least a Young Adult (approximately age 20.5 in-game) and cannot have progressed past Middle-Aged. Zois can also apply in person by visiting the workplace area, though rabbit hole workplaces may not have a visitable building.3535Programming Skill Connection3737The Technology career has a thematic connection to the Programming skill. While Programming level is not a hard requirement for hiring or promotion, some players report that higher Programming levels appear to provide a slight boost to career progress speed. The career bar primarily fills through work attendance regardless of skill level.3939The Programming skill is available to Zois from the Teenager age stage onward. It can be leveled by developing software on a computer or laptop, playing games, or reading programming books. The skill unlocks new program types at certain levels:4141Programming LevelPrograms UnlockedLevel 2Utility App, Puzzle GameLevel 4Shopping App, Sandbox GameLevel 6Finance App, Antivirus Program4343At high levels, the Programming skill also unlocks hacking abilities (Hack Bank for approximately 1,000 Meow, Hack ATM for approximately 250 Meow with arrest risk) and the ability to develop and sell software through the computer interface. Programs sell for approximately 2,000 Meow each at high levels.4444Freelance Programming4646Outside the formal Technology career, Zois can earn income through freelance programming. Software developed using the Programming skill can be sold instantly via the computer interface. This income source has no cap and can supplement or even exceed career earnings at high skill levels. A formal Freelance Career system including Game Development is planned for Q2 2026 according to the development roadmap.4848Combining a Technology career with freelance programming on off days creates a consistent tech-focused income strategy. The 3-day work week leaves 4 free days for software development and other activities.5050Promotion Mechanics5252Promotions follow the standard rabbit hole career system:5454MechanicDetailsCareer BarA progress meter fills each time the Zoi completes a work day. Reaching 100% makes the Zoi eligible for promotion.Attendance RequiredApproximately 8 to 10 working days (roughly 3 to 4 in-game weeks) to fill the bar from empty.Vacancy RequirementA position must be open at the next rank. With only 3 Senior Developer slots and 1 Lead Developer slot, bottlenecks can occur.Automatic PromotionWhen the bar is full and a vacancy exists, the Zoi is promoted automatically. No interview or additional task is required.No DemotionZois cannot be demoted. They stay at their current position or advance.5656The Lead Developer position is particularly competitive with only one slot per company. If an NPC or another playable Zoi holds the slot, the player's Zoi must wait for that person to quit, retire, or get terminated before a promotion becomes available.5757Career Opportunity Cards5959The v0.4.0 update (October 30, 2025) introduced 144 career opportunity cards across all career paths. For Technology careers, these events may involve choices like staying late to fix a critical bug, handling a disagreement about code architecture, or choosing between competing project approaches. Each choice can affect the Zoi's mood, workplace relationships, or career progress speed.6161Attendance and Termination6464Missing a scheduled work day counts as an unexcused absence. After 3 unexcused absences, the Zoi is automatically terminated. The counter resets when the Zoi attends a work day. Zois can also voluntarily quit through the Career section of the Smartphone, but quitting resets career progress entirely.6666Retirement6868Zois face mandatory retirement upon reaching the Senior age stage. No pension system exists in the game, so households should prepare financially by building savings, training a second earner, or establishing a business before the primary earner reaches Senior age.7070Salary Comparison7272Technology careers offer a solid middle-ground income.

This unlocks freelance income and hacking abilities.Both companies are identicalChoose based on which city your Zoi lives in.
