About the Role
The Behavior team at Woven by Toyota builds the data foundation for data-driven autonomy. Our work spans analyzing petabytes of multimodal fleet and simulation data, designing scalable data pipelines, and delivering canonical datasets, metrics, and self-serve tools that power ML-based motion planning. We are seeking experienced individuals to improve mobility with human-centered automated driving solutions.
Responsibilities
- Own and set the technical direction for the end-to-end data architecture that unifies our data into a coherent, discoverable, and reliable platform.
- Design and build data pipelines from ingestion through transformation to serving and visualization.
- Set shared technical direction across teams by partnering with stakeholders to understand their data needs and influence roadmaps.
- Define and own data products, Service Level Agreements, and self-serve dashboards and tooling.
- De-risk major architectural bets before the organization commits to them.
- Document architecture, data models, interfaces, and decisions clearly.
- Act as a technical leader beyond the team: mentor engineers, establish data engineering best practices and standards, and raise the data capability of the wider Autonomy organization.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience building and operating production data pipelines and data platforms at scale.
- Deep command of SQL and a modern programming language (e.g. Python).
- Hands-on expertise designing robust data models and multi-step ETL/ELT jobs.
- Experience with a cloud data warehouse (e.g. BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift).
- Experience with orchestration and transformation tooling (e.g. dbt, Airflow, or equivalents).
- Demonstrated ownership of the data architecture for large-scale systems.
- A track record of technical leadership across teams.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity — taking a loosely-defined, cross-team problem and creating clarity, structure, and momentum to solve it.
- Excellent communication skills in English, with the ability to explain complex technical trade-offs clearly and persuasively.
