Full Stack Software Engineer, SWAT Development

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.

The Toyota Woven City is a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells to be built at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. Envisioned as a ‘living laboratory’, the Woven City will serve as a home to full-time residents and researchers who will test and develop technologies such as robotics, personal mobility, smart homes and artificial intelligence in a real-world environment. Woven City will be ‘ever-evolving’, incorporating different types of the latest technologies. It is also ‘human-centric,’ and expected to keep people safe and comfortable.

SWAT Development is a team which develops software products that are essential to Woven City's value as a test course, but that do not fit into the existing organizational domain and are difficult to address. Our team prioritizes and develops the urgent products in a fast cycle. Our team includes not only engineers but also product owners/managers, allowing us to develop products autonomously.
