Description
At Toyota Research Institute (TRI), we're on a mission to improve the quality of human life. We're developing new tools and capabilities to amplify the human experience via high-risk, high-reward, use-inspired research. To lead a transformative shift in mobility for Toyota, we've built a world-class team in Energy & Materials, Human-Centered AI, Human Interactive Driving, and Robotics.
We are seeking a versatile individual to join our Opportunity Discovery and Technology Adoption (ODTA) department as a Senior Backend Engineer. The ODTA team is dedicated to achieving real-world impact for the groundbreaking research produced within our robotics division.
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in architecting and developing the software systems needed for our robotics research to succeed in the field. This is a greenfield opportunity. We are looking for a candidate that is able to design, communicate and build your proposed solutions, meeting our robotics research where it's at and advancing it towards a reliable production implementation.
Responsibilities
- Design and develop scalable backend architectures that support our deployment trials and future production systems.
- Work closely with robotics and vision researchers, user-experience researchers, frontend developers, and factory engineering teams to define and integrate technical requirements.
- Drive implementation, ensuring clear communication and alignment across multidisciplinary teams.
- Address and build infrastructure and data needs, ensuring the right level of adaptability, reliability, and scalability of backend systems at each stage of deployment.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
- 8+ years experience in backend development, focusing on system design, architecture, and implementation.
- Proficient in Python and SQL (or equivalent Database language) with experience interfacing with C++.
- Experience in delivering production backend solutions for robotics in manufacturing or logistics environments.
- Expertise in building and consuming APIs for web applications (e.g., REST).
- Experience interfacing with PLCs such as Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley) or TOYOPUC.
- Experience designing and deploying cloud and on-prem compute and networking solutions.
- Understand software development processes and the tooling required to enact them, such as version control (e.g., Git) and CI/ CD (e.g., Jenkins).
- Demonstrable communication of complex, technical concepts utilizing design documents and systems drawings.
- Excellent leadership skills with the ability to lead initiatives with input across teams.
- A passion for tackling technical challenges, bringing a proactive and independent working style with strong problem-solving abilities.
The pay range for this position at commencement of employment is expected to be between $201,600 and $289,800/year for California-based roles; however, base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
