About Woven by Toyota
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
Imagine building the tools that help engineers across Woven by Toyota and the wider Toyota Group ship world-class software faster, more securely, and with greater confidence. Cloud & AI team is the backbone of engineering productivity — designing modern, high-performance platforms that remove friction, boost collaboration, and turn ideas into reality. By enabling teams to ship high-quality software at speed, we’re helping realize Woven’s vision: Mobility to Love, Safety to Live.
In this role, you won’t just manage a product; you’ll shape the experience of thousands of engineers. You’ll work with diverse teams, from platform developers in Tokyo to software squads around the world, solving complex productivity challenges and unlocking new capabilities in our tools and workflows.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
This is more than a product management job — it’s an opportunity to influence how world-class automotive software gets built. You’ll be working in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where your ideas can remove friction for engineers and accelerate innovation that touches millions of lives.
At Woven by Toyota, we believe that technical excellence and human-centered design go hand-in-hand. Your work will directly empower our engineers, scaling impact across Toyota’s global network. We’re looking for curious, driven, and empathetic problem-solvers ready to make the tools behind the future of mobility.
