## 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.

Production Software sits within Vehicle SW Engineering and builds the core software infrastructure that lets self-driving models interface with vehicles, be tested, and run safely in production. As part of a team restructure, this role is a high-impact opportunity to help define foundational components and engineering practices as the team scales to roughly 5–6 engineers.

You will work on mission-critical, performance-sensitive systems that sit between advanced ML models and embedded/vehicle platforms, with the opportunity to specialise in mapping/navigation, filtering/diagnostics, or control/inference while still collaborating across domains.

Your day-to-day:

- Build and maintain core C++/Python software components that interface with autonomy models and vehicle/embedded systems.

- Develop infrastructure to communicate with, run, and test self-driving capabilities, separate from ML model development.

- Own reliability and performance of key systems across Linux-based environments, and contribute to tooling and diagnostics for testing and validation.

- Partner with the wider org, distributed across London, Israel, and the US, to integrate changes and support releases.

- Depending on the specific role, focus primarily on one domain area: localisation/navigation/mapping, filtering/diagnostics, or control/inference.

Requirements:

- Exceptional C++ proficiency, with a track record of writing performance-sensitive, production-quality code.

- Strong Python skills for tooling, integration, and/or test infrastructure.

- Solid Linux experience, including development, debugging, and operating in Linux environments.

- Embedded systems familiarity, with experience interfacing software with hardware or vehicle systems.

- Automotive experience is a strong plus, but not required.

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
