About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own the technical vision and architecture for the end-to-end Data Enrichment Platform
  • Lead the design, development and operation of backend services, APIs, model-execution workflows, versioned outputs, annotation capabilities and dataset catalogues
  • Make architectural decisions for petabyte-scale data and large GPU fleets, addressing data locality, scheduling, capacity, backpressure, failure recovery, observability and cost
  • Evaluate whether to build, buy, reuse, integrate, consolidate or replace technologies
  • Establish technical boundaries and ownership across model engineering, AI Platform, infrastructure, compute, storage and data teams
  • Lead cross-team delivery while remaining hands-on
  • Mentor senior engineers and raise standards for maintainable, tested and observable software
  • Lead and develop a small team of engineers through technical direction, coaching, feedback and priority setting
  • Drive adoption of reusable, self-service capabilities
  • Define measurable service levels and success metrics for reliability, throughput, cost, automation and adoption
  • Build scalable platforms for large-scale inference, automated evaluation, model monitoring, active learning and retraining
  • Develop reproducible dataset selection, versioned outputs, annotation workflows and dataset catalogues with metadata, provenance and lineage
  • Operate model-execution workflows across petabytes of driving data and large GPU fleets
  • Build monitoring and operational tooling for model quality, platform reliability, throughput, cost, runtime and workflow status
  • Establish foundations for continuous evaluation, drift detection and automated model-improvement loops
  • Deliver architectural improvements that reduce inference costs, duplicate compute and manual operational effort

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • Owned the long-term technical direction of a complex, multi-system platform and demonstrated measurable outcomes
  • Strong production software-engineering experience in Python
  • Experience building maintainable, tested and observable backend services, APIs and data-processing systems
  • Deep experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems for data-intensive or compute-intensive workloads
  • Track record of turning internal platforms into widely adopted, reliable and usable self-service products
  • Excellent architecture and technology judgement
  • Experience leading delivery across organisational boundaries and aligning teams around ownership and shared outcomes
  • Experience mentoring senior engineers
  • People leadership experience, such as managing or technically leading a small team of 2-3 engineers
  • Experience with workflow orchestration, batch inference, ML platforms, model deployment or registries is advantageous
  • Relevant technologies may include Flyte, Airflow, Dagster, Argo, Spark, Databricks, Ray, Kubernetes and GPU infrastructure
  • Experience with annotation or dataset-catalogue platforms, including provenance, versioning, lineage and quality control, is valuable
  • Experience with production robotics or computer-vision platforms is particularly desirable
  • Computer-vision research expertise is not required

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • 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
