Systems Engineer Jobs in Palo Alto, CA

INTRODUCTION

Woven by Toyota is enabling Toyota’s once-in-a-century transformation into a mobility company. Inspired by a legacy of innovating for the benefit of others, our mission is to challenge the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation — expanding what “mobility” means and how it serves society. Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we’re working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a versatile and self-driven Systems Engineer to lead the architecture of our enterprise AI platforms while also supporting our core IT infrastructure. In this unique role, you will act as a full-stack owner for our Moveworks ServiceNow Platform—consulting with internal customers to build cutting-edge Agentic AI solutions—while also rolling up your sleeves to serve as an escalation point for complex L2/L3 IT system operations. You will act as an independent practitioner who thrives on strategic autonomy. Whether you are writing custom Python scripts for a new AI workflow, assessing the broader AI vendor landscape, or troubleshooting a critical server issue, you take a proactive, problem-solving approach. If you are a "doer" who loves blending modern automation with reliable IT operations, we want you on our team.

WHAT YOU’LL DO (KEY RESPONSIBILITIES)

AI Architecture & Solution Delivery

- Full-stack Ownership: Partner deeply with internal customers throughout the entire delivery lifecycle of AI Agents on the Moveworks ServiceNow Platform: Discussions and Planning, Solution Design/Architecture, Building, Tuning, and Prod Launch.
- Custom Solution Design & Strategic Autonomy: Architect, design, and consult with customers to develop high-impact technical AI solutions. Apply creative freedom in solution design to help internal teams leverage AI in novel ways and shape their Agentic AI roadmap.
- Integration & Implementation: Integrate the Moveworks ServiceNow Platform with enterprise systems in an innovative, secure, and performant manner to solve complex business challenges.
- Product Partnership & Vendor Landscape: Work closely with engineering and product teams (including vendor partners like Moveworks) on new rollouts. Synthesize on-the-ground customer feedback to drive product decisions, assess the evolving AI landscape, and help evaluate the best solutions for our tech stack.

IT Operations & Infrastructure Support

- L2/L3 System Support: Responsible for the maintenance, configuration, and reliable operation of core IT services, networks, servers, virtualization, and cloud systems.
- Help Desk Escalation: Serve as the escalation point for the help desk. Interact with support teams to assist in troubleshooting, identify root causes, and provide timely technical support.
- Operational Excellence: Continuously proactively identify pain points and improve existing IT processes and procedures to achieve operational excellence.

WHAT YOU BRING (QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE)

- Experience: 3-5+ years of experience in a technical role, such as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Customer Success Engineer, Solutions Architect, Consulting Engineer, or Software Engineer.
- Automation & Integration Expertise: Hands-on experience designing, building, and launching full-stack workflows and automations. Must be proficient in leveraging REST APIs, iPaaS automation (Workato, Azure Functions, AWS Lambdas, ServiceNow Flow Designer), and generic scripting (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Golang).
- Versatility & Adaptability: Proven ability to operate across multiple business functions and technical domains, demonstrating adaptability, quick learning, and a broad, deep technical skillset.
- Self-Driven Execution: You are a fully independent practitioner who owns work with minimal guidance. You can evaluate multiple complex factors, arrive at sound technical decisions, and roll up your sleeves to get the work done.
- Collaboration & Knowledge Sharing: A strong track record of contributing ideas, architectural designs, and documentation across multiple project teams, not just within your immediate assignments.

The base pay for this position ranges from $112,000 - $184,000 a year. Your base salary is one part of your total compensation. We offer a base salary, short term and long term incentives, and a comprehensive benefits package. The total compensation offered to an employee will be dependent upon the individual's skills, experience, qualifications, location, and level.
