CITYOS PLATFORM TEAM
Toyota’s Woven City is a fully connected ecosystem powered by hydrogen fuel cells to be built at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. It is envisioned as a ‘living laboratory’ and ‘ever evolving’, incorporating a diversity of cutting edge technologies. It will be the world’s most programmable city. At the same time, it is also ‘human-centric’, serving the needs of its citizens and keeping people safe, comfortable and happy.
Our mission is to create the digital heart of Woven City: a software platform called “CityOS”. All digitally connected services in the city will be orchestrated and delivered on this platform. The technical challenge is huge, and includes creating state of the art systems for collaborating microservices, identity, authentication, privacy, security, data broking, IoT control, and much more. The platform will be open to third party inventors who will collaborate with us to unlock the potential of the world’s smartest city.
In particular, the IoT team is responsible for building services and flows to manage IoT devices through their entire lifecycle. We empower inventors to deliver on their mission with modern technologies exploring new paradigms.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are hiring Senior Engineers for individual contributor and team lead roles based in Tokyo. These roles report to a City OS Team Lead or Manager, focusing on building a set of services within the platform. It is a highly technical team of software engineers.
Are you passionate about technology and how it can transform the world into a better place? Are you looking for a role where you can make an enormous impact on the future by empowering other engineers to build secure systems at a scale?
If you are currently located outside of Japan we will set an interview over Google Hangout Meet or Skype.
