You don't have to have one from here but these are the jobs that are actualy used or filled In Gensokyo.
Yama (Restricted):
The Yama (è…–‚), also called Enma (è…–‚ or ‚¦‚ñ‚Ü) in Japan, is the Buddhist equivalent of the Hindu Yama. This is the judge of the deceased that decides who goes where after death. According to Buddhism, there are ten Yama for each hell, but Shikieiki Yamaxanadu is the only known one in Gensokyo. Yama can look into the past deeds of any person, and it is said that no one can pass through their sermons without being scolded.
Wind Priestess:
Wind Priestesses (•—j) are devotees of the Wind God who use their powers to create miracles such as summoning wind and rain. Eventually, people around them have mistaken the miracles caused by the Wind God to have been caused by the wind priestesses. In addition, as keepers of secrets, they began to accrue faith and be treated as gods, even though they were humans. They became living gods. This rarely happens and usually they remain Prietesses.
Miko or Shrine Maiden:
The term shrine maiden (›Þ—, pronounced miko) refers specifically to altar girls of the Shinto religion. They live and work in a Shinto shrine (a "jinja" in Japanese). Shrine maidens are generally virgins and take various rites of purity and chastity, and undergo various forms of physical and mental training. They also practice sealing and purification rituals, which are highly form-based and symbolic, and are used to bless, purify, or exorcise evil spirits.
A shrine maiden's main tool, or possibly simply the most popular one, is a stick with elaborately folded paper on the end, known as a "gohei". Other common tools are small rectangular papers used for sealing, called "o-fuda"; these are elaborately painted with various mystical symbols and rites of sealing.
Shinigami
Shinigami (Ž€_) (Death Gods): The role of a shinigami may seem similar in certain ways to that of the Grim Reaper in western folklore. In Gensokyo, that means bringing souls to the Yama (or Enma) Shikieiki Yamaxanadu. Gensokyo's only known shinigami, Komachi Onozuka, ferries souls to the Higan. This is apparently done by crossing Sanzu no Kawa, a river in Japanese Buddhism analogous to the Greek River Styx.
While Komachi is a ferryman of the Sanzu, not all shinigami occupy this position. For good reason, most people assume their life is over at the sight of a shinigami, but only a few are actually charged with taking the souls of the expired. These shinigami may be fought with just as any other creature, allowing stronger youkai to continually prolong their lifespan. Celestials are notorious for this, disguising their victory as guaranteed immortality
Shikigami:
Shikigami (Ž®_) is the term used for the summoned spirits of an "onmyouji", a Japanese sorcerer. Shikigami are used to protect and serve their master, much like the Western concept of the wizard's familiar. There are many types of shikigami described in legend, the most common type being enchanted paper cutouts that can produce the illusion of another real-life object. The type of shikigami seen in the Touhou world are distinct entities, not initially created by the onmyouji that, through some circumstances, have agreed to or have been bound to assist the onmyouji.
Shikigami often share a special link to their masters, which may cause their onmyouji to receive sympathetic injuries dealt to the shikigami. Because of this link and the enormous amount of energy needed to maintain shikigami, onmyouji do not usually summon more than one or two shikigami at a time.
Maid:
A maid (ƒƒCƒh) refers to any being that is hired to serve a household. Duties include attending to the occupants of the house, preparing food for owners and guests alike, cleaning and maintaining the house and surrounding property, and in Gensokyo, acting as bodyguards against intruders. They are usually dressed in a French maid uniform, for inexplicable reasons.
Library assistant:
A body hired (or forced) into serving a librarian usually found serving Magicians and other magic users and scholars.
Reporter/Newspaper writer:
A job usually reserved by the tengu they have been know to hire assitants to get new stories
There are a lot more so be creative.
