As Software Tech Lead on this team, you’ll be at the forefront of building scalable infrastructure, developing robust tools, and optimizing the end-to-end scenario workflow that fuels the validation of our driving models. This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll design and maintain cloud-based infrastructure, build backend tools, and ensure the seamless operation of our large-scale scenario data pipelines.

**Challenges you will own**

* Build and optimize backend services and tooling that enable seamless data processing, augmentation, and scenario lifecycle management.

* Design, implement, and maintain scalable cloud-based solutions to support large-scale scenario generation and validation workflows.

* Develop robust, automated CI/CD pipelines (using tools like Jenkins, ArgoCD, and Kubernetes) that ensure efficient and reliable deployments of our scenario technology solutions.

* Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including ML engineers and Simulation experts, to integrate infrastructure improvements and ensure smooth scenario coverage operations.

* Manage and optimize databases used to store and retrieve large-scale driving scenario data, ensuring performance and scalability.

* Use Bash scripting and other automation tools to streamline development workflows and system maintenance.

* Ensure reliability and efficiency by applying best practices in software development, deployment, and operations.

* B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, with 7+ years of software engineering experience.

* Strong experience with cloud technologies (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure) and building scalable, production-grade infrastructure.

* Proven expertise in CI/CD tools and frameworks (e.g., Jenkins, Kubernetes, ArgoCD) and experience implementing automated pipelines.

* Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform) and containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

* Strong experience with backend programming (e.g., Python, Go, or Java) and database management (e.g., SQL, NoSQL).

* Experience with Bash scripting and other automation tools to enhance development and operational workflows.

* Familiarity with large-scale data processing systems and handling large datasets efficiently.

**Desirable**

* Experience in autonomous driving, robotics, or transportation industries.

* Exposure to ML-based workflows, particularly in building pipelines for large-scale data processing and evaluation.

* Familiarity with scenario generation, simulation, or validation tools for autonomous vehicle models.

* Experience in collaborating with Machine Learning, Science, or Simulation teams on infrastructure projects.

This is a full-time role based in our office in Sunnyvale. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home.
