Toyota’s Digital Innovations organization is looking for a passionate and highly motivated Software Engineer focused on building AI-enabled products.
The primary responsibility of this role is to build product applications alongside AI — rapidly prototyping, experimenting, and shipping full-stack solutions that solvereal businessproblems.You'lloperateas a hands-on product builder: writing the code, shaping the experience, and iterating in tight loops with product, design, and business partners. At the core, you are a strong software engineer who uses AI in nearly everything you do to become an even better one — with real conviction about the role of AI in building products, and the curiosity and persistence to drive work to completion.
Reporting to the Digital Innovations Product Strategy Manager, this role supports the Digital Innovationsobjectiveto deliver what matters most to our customers, when, where, and how they want it. By working smarter and faster,we'rebuilding a connected, customer-first enterprise that grows sales, drives revenue, and sets the pace for the future of Toyota and Lexus.
Use AI as a force multiplier in your own workflow to move faster, experiment more, and turn ideas into working software in days, not months
Integrate applications with enterprise data sources and APIs, wiring up retrieval, agents, and inference pipelines that work reliably in the real world
Learn the operation before building it — go to where the work happens, partner with domain SMEs and business owners, and ask questions first so you solve the right problem, not just a buildable one
Build in the quality controls that make AI reliable in production — evaluations and prompt-regression testing, hallucination and output-quality measurement, latency and token-cost management, guardrails, and PII and data handling
What success looks like (first 90 days)
Howwe’llevaluate this role
AI integration depth — the production-grade 20%: evals, guardrails, retrieval and agents done reliably, cost and latency control
Hands-on experience building with LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, or similar) — including prompt engineering, function/tool calling, and RAG architectures
An eye for design and product craft — you care how things look, feel, and flow, not just whether they work
A portfolio you can walk us through — GitHub, live demos, or write-ups of AI-enabled productsyou’veshipped, with your specific contribution clearly called out (required)
Demonstrated ability to work in a blended, cross-functional (“fusion”) team — listens first, asks questions, and builds trust across product, design, domain, and engineering backgrounds
Experience with API, event, and integration design, and workflow or process orchestration (BPMN / Camunda)
Referral services related to prenatal services, adoption, childcare, schools, and more
