Product & Technology – Arene /
Employee /
Hybrid
Woven by Toyota is the mobility technology subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation. Our mission is to deliver safe, intelligent, human-centered mobility for all. Through our Arene mobility software platform, safety-first automated driving technology and Toyota Woven City — our test course for advanced mobility — we’re bringing greater freedom, safety and happiness to people and society. 

Our unique global culture weaves modern Silicon Valley innovation and time-tested Japanese quality craftsmanship. We leverage these complementary strengths to amplify the capabilities of drivers, foster happiness, and elevate well-being.

TEAM
Arene's mission is to simplify software development and increase developer agility by creating tools and processes which enable novel uses of vehicles without compromising safety. We build, maintain and distribute these tools to development teams within Arene and Arene's users.

The Arene Toolchains team is responsible for maintaining the core set of tools needed to build test and debug C and C++ software. Static analysis in particular is an important component of the toolchain we maintain, and helps our developers to catch issues before they can reach production. We work to ensure that code which is being shipped to the vehicle is safe and secure.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR
We are looking for engineers who are passionate about architecting well designed tools for automation which delight developers and enable the next generation of automotive software development. The right candidate will have solid coding skills, broad knowledge of software development, and excellent communication ability. You will report to the Team Lead of Arene Core Toolchains team, and the role is hybrid - at least 3 days in office per week.

RESPONSIBILITIES
In order to ensure the quality of our vehicle software, we are looking for engineers who can develop and maintain tooling to analyze large codebases and produce actionable improvement plans from these results. As part of our tools team, you will:
・Use modern syntax tree-based tooling (not just grep!) to find and fix logic errors, security issues, inefficient code, and code that can be modernized, through millions of lines of code
・Make sure that issues found are fixed properly, and properly tested to increase overall quality
・Work with our open-source code analysis tools to analyze and interpret results over large code bases
・Design and build automated tools to produce data driven metrics with regard to code quality
・Work closely with our vehicle software teams to address issues found (ex. bugs and other regressions) by our code analysis
・Work closely with our security and safety teams to achieve certification of our in-vehicle software

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

    • 5-7 years relevant professional experience (code analysis tools, tool automation, programming languages, etc.)
    • Knowledge of C and C++ best practices
    • Professional experience using and customizing code analysis tools (ex. via custom rules), especially for C and C++ (ex. CodeQL, clang-tidy)
    • Experience setting up automating infrastructure using modern CI tools (ex. Github Actions, Gitlab CI, etc.)

NICE TO HAVES

    • Familiarity with language or parsers and their internals (e.g. CodeQL, clang-tidy, LLVM, GCC internals, language intermediate representations)
    • Knowledge of coding guidelines (e.g. CERT C/C++, MISRA C/C++)
    • Experience with building and maintaining custom CodeQL queries
    • Hands on experience writing parsers, analyzers, formatters and related tools manipulating or running on the underlying language syntax representations
    • Familiarity with working in a security and safety focused environment (and their related standards)
If you are located outside of Japan we will set up an interview over Google Hangout Meet.
