Description
We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future.
The Vehicle Software Engineering team builds and operates the software that keeps Wayve's autonomous vehicles running safely in the real world. The Tools & Infrastructure team owns the reliability stack for vehicle software: observability, incident management, operator tooling, and automation.
Your day-to-day:
- Building and improving tooling, automation, observability, and incident-management processes for vehicle software reliability
- Partnering closely with field engineers, software teams, and operations to diagnose reliability issues and improve system performance
- Owning hands-on debugging across Linux, low-level systems, logs, metrics, traces, and vehicle and production data
- Developing reliability improvements that reduce manual intervention and make issue detection, triage, and recovery faster
- Supporting vehicle-centric operations, including safety-operator tools and the reliability needs of our customer and partner programmes
You should apply if:
- You write production-quality code every day in Python, C++, or Rust
- You're comfortable debugging at the Linux and systems level, reading logs, tracing failures, and finding root cause in complex environments
- You have experience with CI/CD, containerisation, networking, distributed systems, databases, and observability/incident-management tooling such as DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Splunk, Humio or similar
- You've diagnosed complex production or operational systems independently, seeing problems through to resolution rather than just escalating
- You communicate well across engineering, operations, and field teams, and know when to bring others in
- You can be onsite in Sunnyvale at least three days a week to work alongside the field teams you'll support
Wayve is building the leading AI platform for autonomous driving. We are pioneering an end to end AI approach that enables vehicles to learn directly from real world experience, developing the ability to adapt, generalise and improve at scale.
Benefits:
- Salaries benchmarked against the market annually
