Engineering Manager, Generative AI Engineering

Software development in the automotive industry comes with unique challenges. Developers need to build, test, secure, and deploy software across cloud environments, mobile devices, embedded systems, and vehicles. They also need modern AI-enabled tools that are safe, governed, observable, and integrated with enterprise systems.

The Developer Productivity function builds tools, platforms, and workflows that help engineering teams at Woven by Toyota and the broader Toyota organization move faster while keeping safety, security, and quality as top priorities.

As part of this function, the Generative AI Engineering team builds enterprise-grade AI platforms and developer-facing AI capabilities. We focus on secure access to large language models, AI gateways, internal AI tooling, model usage governance, identity-aware authorization, cost controls, observability, and integrations with engineering systems.

Our goal is to make AI useful, reliable, and safe at enterprise scale.

We are looking for an engineering manager who can lead a high-impact Generative AI Engineering team and deliver enterprise-grade AI platform capabilities for Developer Productivity. You should have experience leading complex engineering projects, working closely with engineers and stakeholders, and identifying practical accelerators that improve how engineering teams build, test, operate, and deliver software.

You should be deeply focused on customer value and willing to spend time understanding the real problems engineers are trying to solve. You help the team clarify requirements, make sound technical decisions, align on software design, and deliver reliable platform capabilities that can be adopted across teams.

You should be comfortable setting direction while staying close to implementation details. You define goals, prioritize work, reduce unnecessary rework, and ensure that the team’s roadmap is aligned with the broader Developer Experience and Generative AI strategy. You use metrics to understand adoption, usage, quality, reliability, and business value, then continuously improve the team’s impact over time.

You should understand current trends in developer productivity, platform engineering, and enterprise Generative AI, and be able to turn that understanding into a clear, motivating vision for the team.

You will report to the Head of Developer Experience and Generative AI, working closely with them to shape strategy, guide execution, and help the team deliver safe, reliable, and useful AI capabilities at enterprise scale. You will work in a hybrid environment requiring your presence onsite at least 3 days per week.
