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.

Our team offers service developers in the city the functionality to develop more easily and securely, so if you are interested in keywords including, but not limited to user management, authentication, authorization, consent, data protection, and IoT device management, we encourage you to apply.

If you are currently located outside of Japan we will set up an interview over Google Hangout Meet or Skype.
