Senior Software Engineer - Data Infrastructure

Woven by Toyota is the mobility technology subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Our mission is to deliver safe, intelligent, human-centered mobility for all. Through our Arene mobility software platform, safety-first automated driving technology and Toyota Woven City — our test course for advanced mobility — we’re bringing greater freedom, safety and happiness to people and society. 

Our unique global culture weaves modern Silicon Valley innovation and time-tested Japanese quality craftsmanship. We leverage these complementary strengths to amplify the capabilities of drivers, foster happiness, and elevate well-being.

TEAM

Our London team is working on accelerating autonomous driving by providing access to petabytes of data collected by our fleet of autonomous and non-autonomous vehicles. Efficient, fast and cost-effective access to data at large scale is key to tackle the hardest problems in AD/ADAS, from developing the Machine Learning (ML) models for perception and prediction of human driving patterns, to increasing the sophistication of our validation and simulation by identifying rare and interesting real-world driving situations. The data ecosystem developed by the London team is a key building block for developing and testing modern AD/ADAS products that will impact millions of customers. Our ML and Data pipelines are built on-top of the open-source Flyte orchestration framework and are deployed to AWS. Pipeline code is written in Python. We use SQS and Kafka to automate data connections and leverage BigQuery and Elasticsearch for data storage. We believe strongly in automation and testing to ensure delivery of robust and correct systems. We are a distributed team, working in the UK and US.
