# Senior Software Engineer, Data

**Wayve US** · London, United Kingdom

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/wayve/416f25d2-3c7e-4e46-94d1-3eb377ea93f8

## About the role

#### The role

Portal is the cloud platform that connects Wayve to the outside world: handling data exchange with partners, surfacing AI insights, and enabling the commercial deployment of Wayve's AI driver on vehicles across the globe.

We're looking for a **Senior Software Engineer, Data** to help build Wayve's **Data Transfer Hub**: a mission-critical piece of infrastructure that will scale to transfer **petabytes of sensor data per day** from partners covering vehicles around the world.

This is a pivotal project at Wayve. You'll work as part of a small, high-autonomy team building a globally distributed hub-and-spoke data exchange system, working with partners like Uber, Stellantis and Nissan. Your work will help make Wayve's AI model training possible at scale.

**Key responsibilities:**

- Build and operate large-scale data transfer pipelines for video, LiDAR and sensor data from global partners at up to PB/day scale

- Contribute to the technical design of the Data Transfer Hub, making pragmatic trade-offs across UX, careliability, throughput, cost, partner constraints, observability and operational support

- Build parallelised, distributed data transfer pipelines using Flyte for workflow orchestration, Kafka/event-driven patterns for lifecycle tracing, and Azure for storage and transfer infrastructure

- Help implement and evolve a globally distributed hub-and-spoke data transfer model to retrieve and share sensor data at scale with partners

- Write infrastructure-as-code in Terraform and pipeline logic primarily in Python

- Build reliable operational foundations, including retry strategies, backfills, data integrity checks, lifecycle/state tracking, dashboards and alerting

- Work on cloud-to-cloud and cross-cloud networking solutions, with Azure as the primary cloud platform

- Once established, participate in an out-of-hours on-call and support rotation.

- Collaborate with product, commercial and partner-facing teams to understand constraints and deliver solutions that solve real customer and partner problems

- Work in a fast-changing environment where requirements and partner deliverable dates evolve, while maintaining high engineering standards

#### About you

In order to set you up for success as a Senior Software Engineer at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.

**Essential**

- Proven experience building and operating large-scale data transfer, ingestion or data processing pipelines, ideally at multi-TB or PB scale

- Strong software engineering skills

- Experience delivering & maintaining production systems

- Experience with workflow orchestration for parallelised jobs; Flyte preferred, but Airflow, Prefect or similar tools are also relevant

- Experience building reliable, observable data systems, including retry strategies, backfills, data integrity checks, lifecycle/state tracking and operational alerting

- Strong cloud platform skills, with Azure preferred; experience with AWS or GCP is a plus

- Proficiency in Python and Terraform

- Experience with blob/object storage, large-scale file movement, networking or cloud-to-cloud data transfer

- A product mindset: you think about the customer and build solutions that fix real problems, not just implement requirements

- Comfort working in a fast-changing environment with evolving requirements

- A strong sense of ownership: you take responsibility for outcomes, communicate clearly, and help the team move quickly**Desirable**

- Experience working with external data partners or customer-facing technical integrations

- Background in autonomous vehicles, robotics, geospatial data, video processing or other data-intensive domains

- Experience with Kafka or other event-driven systems for transfer observability and lifecycle tracking

- Experience building dashboards to communicate transfer job status

- Multi-cloud experience across Azure, AWS and/or GCP

- Experience improving cost efficiency, throughput or reliability of large-scale cloud data systems This is a full-time role based in our office in London. 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.
