About the role

We are hiring a senior Software Engineer to build the platform that powers Wayve’s data flywheel and foundation-model stack. This is the engineering counterpart to our Applied Scientist and ML Engineer roles : you build the systems they, and the wider company, depend on. It is high-leverage, high-visibility work with a clear path to deep system ownership.

What they're looking for

  • Strong production software engineering , especially production Python (services, APIs, large-scale data processing), and comfort owning and extending large codebases
  • Systems design for scale: reliable, observable, high-throughput data or ML systems, with strong SQL and query and performance optimization
  • A track record of shipping and operating production systems that other teams depend on: testing, code review, observability, and on-call
  • Strong CS fundamentals and several years of production experience, or equivalent, a degree in CS or comparable practical experience
