## Description

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.

The Map & Route team sits within Wayve's Automotive Platforms division in Vehicle Software Engineering, and builds the geospatial foundations behind our AI driver. Working with global-scale data, the team turns road-network and navigation data into reliable products used across Wayve, building geospatial services and data products to support company operations.

Your day-to-day:

- Write full-stack services in Python and Typescript, creating novel geospatial services to solve challenging and unique problems we face in building our AI driving products.

- Collaborate with internal teams to understand requirements and build solutions with global geospatial data.

- Design and build data pipelines with PySpark and Databricks to enrich fleet data with mapping and road-network information at global scale.

- Build applications and datasets that support route planning and the preparation of map data for training and simulation.

- Integrate with navigation and mapping APIs from providers such as Mapbox, TomTom and Google Maps.

- Maintain, support and improve the services the team already runs.

- Deploy and operate your services on Azure and Kubernetes, owning them end to end.

You should apply if:

- You are a strong, hands-on Python engineer who can deliver high-quality production code at pace.

- You are comfortable with an AI-assisted or AI engineering workflow (ideation, planning, implementation and review).

- You have built and operated large-scale data pipelines using Spark or PySpark.

- You are comfortable writing SQL to query and analyse large datasets.

- You have working knowledge of cloud infrastructure and container orchestration, ideally Azure and Kubernetes, and are happy to own deployment, monitoring, and observability of your services.

- You enjoy taking ownership of new services and seeing them through end to end.

- Experience with geospatial data processing, road-network data or routing engines (e.g. OpenStreetMap, TomTom, HERE or Overture data, PostGIS, navigation APIs) would be a strong advantage.

- Experience with Bazel or monorepo build systems is desirable but not mandatory.

- Experience with workflow orchestration tools such as Flyte or Airflow would be a bonus.

Benefits:

- Salaries benchmarked against the market annually

- Meaningful equity, sharing in the ownership and long term success of Wayve

- Relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable

- Hybrid working, core hours and the chance to work hands on in vehicle workshops and labs

- Learning and development budgets with support for training, conferences and growth

- Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, dental, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, retirement or pension where applicable, access to therapists, wellbeing partnerships, team socials and more
