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
