Job summary

Wayve is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for the Fleet Management team. You will build the platform that lets Wayve’s engineers deploy software, monitor vehicle health, and understand fleet-wide activity in real time.

You’ll own projects end-to-end, collaborating with Research, Safety, Operations, SRE, and Infrastructure to deliver reliable, scalable solutions across vehicles and OEM integrations.

Qualifications

• Experience designing, building, and operating APIs and web services with strong API contracts and data modeling.
• Proven ability to work with Product, engineering, and operations teams.
• Track record of owning meaningful projects end-to-end from problem definition to production.
• Interest in mentoring engineers and guiding technical direction.
• Experience with metrics, logs, traces, and observability to inform decisions.
• Background in distributed systems, network theory, or embedded software is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and build distributed services and workflows for deploying software and AI models across a fleet.
• Develop interfaces to connect Wayve vehicles with external dispatch services.
• Create scalable APIs and dashboards for visibility into vehicle state and diagnostics.
• Build telemetry data pipelines and analytics for fleet utilization and system performance.

Job description

• As a Senior Software Engineer on our Fleet Management team, you’ll build the platform that lets Wayve’s engineers and operators deploy software, monitor vehicle health, and understand what’s happening across the fleet in real time
• The team also plays a central role in Wayve’s robotaxi operations, acting as the interface between our vehicles and the external services that dispatch and manage autonomous rides. These aren’t traditional enterprise tools; the software you build connects our engineers and operators directly with vehicles operating on public roads
• You’ll take projects from problem definition through technical design, implementation, deployment, and operation, working directly with Research, Safety, Operations, SRE, and Infrastructure to deliver solutions that scale with Wayve’s growing fleet
• This is an opportunity to join an early-stage team building fleet infrastructure across a global AV fleet and multiple OEM integrations — each with its own configuration, protocols, and engineering challenges. You’ll shape how the team works as much as what it builds
• Build reliable distributed services and workflows for deploying software, AI models, and configurations across vehicles that may be intermittently connected; solve for correctness, ordering, and rollback in environments where connectivity is not guaranteed
• Build and maintain the services that support robotaxi operations — the interfaces and systems that connect Wayve’s vehicles to external dispatch services and enable remote autonomous operations at scale
• Develop scalable services, APIs, and intuitive interfaces that give engineers deep visibility into vehicle state and enable fast, confident diagnosis of issues
• Build tools and services that enable engineers and researchers to explore and understand large volumes of vehicle telemetry and operational data
• Develop reporting and analytics tools that track vehicle utilisation, system performance, and mission outcomes, enabling data-driven engineering and operational decisions
• Design and build systems spanning web applications, backend services, embedded APIs, and cloud infrastructure, taking end-to-end ownership of their quality and evolution in production
• Write high-quality, well-tested code, contribute to design and code reviews, and help other engineers grow

Benefits

• Private healthcare: Choose our optional health insurance for comprehensive coverage for you and your family.
• Paid time off: Paid vacation plus public holidays and additional leave programs, ensuring you have time to unwind.
• Mental health resources: Through Spill, you can access therapy and mental health support.
• Community and socials: Join clubs or attend team socials to connect over hobbies, sports, or just for fun.
• Competitive compensation: Our compensation package includes cash and equity, making you a true partner in our success.
• Learning and development: Budgets for books, courses, and company-wide training to support your continuous growth.
