Job description

The role

As a Microservices Software Engineer within the Map and Routing team, you'll be responsible for designing and implementing cloud-based microservices that provide map and routing services for both onboard and offboard use cases. You will work closely with the embedded side of the team to ensure consistent APIs and seamless integration between onboard vehicle systems and cloud infrastructure. Your work will play a crucial role in enabling our autonomous vehicles and offline systems to efficiently utilize mapping data for training, validation, and real-time navigation. This is an opportunity to shape key cloud services that are critical for scaling our technology globally.

Challenges you will own

• Microservices Development: Design and implement cloud-based microservices that provide map and routing services to support training, evaluation, and onboard vehicle needs.
• API Consistency: Collaborate with the embedded software team to develop consistent APIs for both embedded and cloud services, ensuring a unified approach across Wayve's systems.
• Cloud Deployment: Create and deploy microservices to a Kubernetes-based cloud environment hosted in Azure, optimizing for reliability, scalability, and performance.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with various teams, including Embodied AI, Evaluation & Validation, and Onboard Software, to gather requirements and ensure that services meet the diverse needs of internal stakeholders.
• Mapping and GIS Technologies: Apply mapping and Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies to enhance the quality and functionality of the routing services.

About you

• Microservices and Cloud Expertise: At least 3 years of experience in building and deploying cloud-based microservices, particularly in a Kubernetes environment.
• Kubernetes and Azure: Proficiency in working with Kubernetes and deploying services to Azure, including managing CI/CD pipelines and optimizing deployments for performance.
• Programming Skills: Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, C++, or Rust, with a focus on creating efficient, scalable, and maintainable code. This role will require you to work across multiple programming languages.
• API Design and Integration: Experience designing RESTful APIs and ensuring consistency across distributed systems, ideally involving both cloud and embedded use cases.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Strong communication skills and experience working with multiple stakeholders, including embedded engineers, data scientists, and cloud infrastructure teams.
• Mapping and GIS Technologies: Experience with mapping technologies or Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a significant plus.

Desirable

• Embedded Systems Experience: Exposure to IoT or embedded environments is a plus, as it will aid in collaborating effectively with the embedded side of the team.
