Senior Software Engineer, Fleet Management

About the role

Our Fleet Management team builds the platform that connects Wayve’s engineers and operators with a global fleet of autonomous vehicles and data-collection devices. From software deployment and vehicle health to robotaxi operations, our services give teams the visibility and control they need to operate confidently as the fleet grows. You’ll join an early-stage team working across web applications, backend services, embedded APIs and cloud infrastructure. With multiple OEM integrations and vehicle configurations to support, you’ll help shape both the systems we build and the engineering practices behind them.

Responsibilities

• Own meaningful projects from problem definition through design, implementation, deployment and production operation.
• Partner with Product, Research, Safety, Operations, SRE and Infrastructure to turn complex fleet needs into reliable services and intuitive tools.
• Contribute to architecture and planning, and validate ideas through prototypes.
• Write well-tested code and review changes with your peers.
• Make technical trade-offs that improve fleet visibility, reduce friction for users and keep systems dependable as deployments scale.
• Support other engineers’ growth through feedback and shared technical learning.
• Reliable deployment workflows for software, AI models and configuration across vehicles that may be intermittently connected, including correctness, ordering and rollback.
• Services connecting Wayve vehicles with external dispatch systems to support robotaxi and remote autonomous operations.
• APIs and web interfaces that make vehicle state visible and help engineers diagnose issues quickly and confidently.
• Tools for exploring vehicle telemetry and operational data, alongside reporting on utilization, performance and mission outcomes.
• Scalable, observable full-stack systems whose quality, maintainability and evolution you own in production.

Requirements

• Experience building, shipping and operating production full-stack applications and web services.
• Hands‑on depth across frontend, backend and infrastructure (React, TypeScript, MUI; Rust, Go, Node.js; Kubernetes, Azure, Bazel – experience is a plus, not a requirement).
• Independently owned projects from an ambiguous problem through technical design, delivery and ongoing operation.
• Understand API contracts, data modeling, service boundaries and the reliability, consistency, scalability and failure modes of distributed systems.
• Use metrics, logs and traces to understand production behavior and guide decisions.
• Communicate clearly across engineering, product and operational teams, and enjoy mentoring and improving engineering practices.
• Experience with robotics, autonomy, robotaxi operations, telemetry pipelines, OTA deployment, remote device management or multi‑OEM environments is valuable but not essential.

Benefits

• Salaries benchmarked against the market annually.
• 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.
