## About the role

We are looking for an ML Software Engineer to join the Multi-Embodiment Generalist Agent (MEGA) team within Wayve Science as a founding member. MEGA is building foundation models for general-purpose robots: models that learn from large-scale video, language, and robot-interaction data, then generalize across tasks and embodiments—including mobile manipulators, dual-arm platforms, and humanoids. Our aim is to build agents that can perceive, reason about, and act reliably in the physical world.

## What they're looking for

- Design, build, and maintain scalable ML pipelines for data ingestion, model training, evaluation, and related research workflows
- Build software systems that allow ML workloads to scale to larger datasets, larger models, and more experiments
- Develop clean and reusable interfaces between data, models, training, evaluation, and downstream robotics workflows
- Own and improve the health of the MEGA codebase, including software architecture, testing, reliability, maintainability, and engineering standards
- Identify and resolve performance, reliability, and usability bottlenecks across ML workflows
- Build and maintain infrastructure that supports multiple researchers and ML projects without unnecessarily slowing down iteration
