About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Help develop the simulation system used to evaluate and improve Wayve’s driving intelligence.
  • Work hands-on in the shared modern C++ and Python simulation codebase.
  • Implement scoped features and integrate driving-stack components, simulated robot systems and new vehicle-platform capabilities.
  • Support and test different simulation configurations, initially focusing on high-scale open-loop evaluation.
  • Investigate differences between on-road and simulated execution across component interfaces, data flows, timing and configuration.
  • Improve automated testing, observability, reproducibility, reliability and developer tooling.
  • Profile simulator workloads and contribute performance and scalability improvements.
  • Collaborate with Simulation, Robotics, Autonomy, Evaluation, Platform and Data teams.
  • Contribute to technical designs and improve the quality and maintainability of the simulation codebase.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Professional experience developing, delivering and maintaining production software in a collaborative engineering environment.
  • Strong software development skills in C++ and Python, with depth in at least one and the ability to work effectively in both.
  • Relevant experience in simulation, robotics, autonomous systems or similarly complex systems involving multiple interacting software components.
  • Good understanding of software and data-oriented design, including how to build code that is maintainable, reusable and extensible.
  • Experience debugging complex systems and reasoning about interfaces, data flows, timing and failure modes.
  • Understanding of common software performance issues and the ability to make pragmatic design trade-offs.
  • Ability to independently deliver scoped features, communicate progress clearly and raise risks or blockers early.
  • Experience using GenAI development tools, such as coding assistants or agents, to improve productivity while carefully reviewing, testing and validating their output.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
