Senior SWE - Data Search

Woven by Toyota is enabling Toyota’s once-in-a-century transformation into a mobility company. Inspired by a legacy of innovating for the benefit of others, our mission is to challenge the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation — expanding what “mobility” means and how it serves society. Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we’re working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all. Team Our data platform 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. Who are we looking for? The AD/ADAS Data Platform team is looking for a Staff SWE who is passionate about enabling the next generation of automotive software development. Modern ML-based AD/ADAS development requires automatic categorisation and indexing of data based on weather and road conditions, rarity and complexity of driving behaviors and a variety of other factors: for this we are building a data search platform that combines traditional indexing approaches with cutting-edge generative AI technology, which needs to handle large amounts of driving data. The right candidate will have previous experience in building scalable and reliable cloud infrastructure, a user-first attitude, and excellent communication skills to work in a global team. Previous experience in building ML applications is a definite bonus. Responsibilities: • Work on high-impact projects and innovate new solutions to problems in the self-driving space • Work with Computer Vision,Machine Learning and Simulation engineers on high-impact projects • Understand the complex data requirements of modern ML development and evolve our data ecosystem to meet these needs • Design and implementation of new solutions that increase the usage and the impact of data for AD/ADAS development • Work on distributed systems that serve,process and transform large quantities of data in the cloud Minimum Qualifications: • Experience working in a distributed team in a fast-changing environment • Experience building scalable and reliable distributed systems for Data Processing or similar areas • Experience working in cross-functional teams. • Experience with programming languages such as Python, Java or C++ • Hands-on experience developing cloud applications (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure) • Experience with technologies like BigQuery and/or SnowFlake Preferred Qualifications: • Previous experience in building data products and/or ML applications/work with ML teams • Experience in influencing and driving change in complex organizations • Experience with matrix organizations WHAT WE OFFER We are committed to creating a modern work environment that supports our employees and their loved ones.
