Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Own the end-to-end architecture of the AI model lifecycle, including data ingestion, training, and on-road testing. Lead the technical vision for the platform to accelerate model development and fleet learning through scalable and reliable infrastructure.
Requires 10+ years of experience in large-scale distributed systems or ML infrastructure, with at least 3 years at a staff or principal level. Must possess deep expertise in compute orchestration, reliability engineering, and the ability to mentor other engineers.
Founded in 2017, Wayve is the leading developer of Embodied AI technology. Our advanced AI software and foundation models enable vehicles to perceive, understand, and navigate any complex environment, enhancing the usability and safety of automated driving systems.
Our vision is to create autonomy that propels the world forward. Our intelligent, mapless, and hardware-agnostic AI products are designed for automakers, accelerating the transition from assisted to automated driving.
In our fast-paced environment big problems ignite us—we embrace uncertainty, leaning into complex challenges to unlock groundbreaking solutions. We aim high and stay humble in our pursuit of excellence, constantly learning and evolving as we pave the way for a smarter, safer future.
At Wayve, your contributions matter. We value diversity, embrace new perspectives, and foster an inclusive work environment; we back each other to deliver impact.
Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!
As Principal Engineer for the Model Development Platform, you'll own the end-to-end architecture behind Wayve's AI model lifecycle, from data ingestion and training to experiment scheduling and on-road testing. Working at the intersection of AI research, large-scale distributed systems, and robotic operations, you'll keep the platform reliable, scalable, and coherent so our researchers and engineers can iterate fast and deploy autonomous driving models safely.
Partnering with the Head of Model Dev Platform, you'll set and execute the technical vision, aligning infrastructure and tooling with company goals. You'll lead by example, going deep across web applications, distributed compute, ML Ops, data pipelines, and optimization algorithms, and through architecture and mentorship you'll enable teams to build platform capabilities that measurably accelerate model development and fleet learning.
