Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!
You will lead the technical direction of Wayve’s Embodied AI Platform.
This is a senior individual contributor role focused on technical leadership, not people management. You’ll operate at the intersection of research and engineering, shaping how we build, train, and scale foundation models for real-world autonomy.
Your focus is turning cutting-edge science into scalable, production-ready systems. That means defining how we train large models efficiently, extract maximum value from data, and scale compute and infrastructure in a cost-effective way.
You’ll play a key role in driving Wayve’s “core” embodied AI model—setting the technical direction for data, training, and evaluation systems that support rapid iteration and reliable deployment.
You are a deeply technical leader with hands-on experience building and scaling ML systems in complex environments. You’re comfortable going deep on model training, infrastructure, and data—and you know how to turn research ideas into systems that actually work at scale.
You bring strong judgement, move quickly, and know where to invest for maximum impact. You’re credible with both researchers and engineers and can align teams around clear technical direction.
Wayve is committed to creating an inclusive interview experience. If you require any accommodations or adjustments to participate fully in our interview process, please let us know
We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.
