About The Position

Wayve’s engineering teams are building the AI, robotics, simulation, data, and systems foundations needed to deploy a generalisable AI Driver safely and at scale. The Triage and Detective Engineering teams identify, understand, and help resolve issues across Wayve’s test and on-road fleets. This role scales that work by turning repeated manual investigation into reliable automation, reusable tooling, and measurable workflows.

• Strong in Python, SQL, and Bash or shell scripting and comfortable in remote Linux environments.
• Built or maintained data pipelines, notebooks, or cloud-triggered automation.
• Can take an ambiguous manual process, decide what is worth automating, and own delivery end-to-end.
• Communicate technical problems clearly and work effectively with both technical and non-technical partners.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket or GitLab, Databricks or Jupyter is valuable.
• ML classifiers, web tooling, or Azure experience is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Observe, document, and measure current Triage and Detective workflows to identify high-value automation opportunities.
• Build automation pipelines, triage bots, behavioural classifiers, and workflow tooling.
• Partner with Detective Engineers to turn one-off scripts into robust, reusable tools.
• Validate automation accuracy, reliability, suggested classifications, and root-cause outputs.
• Document each automation’s purpose, operation, expected outputs, and limitations.
• Track triage quality and throughput to demonstrate impact and guide the roadmap.
• Join regular triage and calibration sessions to stay close to the work being automated.
