• Define and manage the technical architecture for customer vehicle integrations. • Translate product requirements and customer programme needs into actionable technical specifications. • Turn ambiguous customer discussions into clear ownership boundaries, interface contracts and open decisions. • Work with Software Architects to align customer integration needs with Wayve’s core architecture. • Define integration test requirements with Validation Engineers so requirements are verifiable. • Develop interface specifications, integration guides, architecture diagrams and decision records. • Identify integration complexity, technical gaps, risks and required partner deliverables. • Keep internal teams and external partners aligned on architecture, integration plans and technical risks.

Wayve is one of the most exciting AI companies in the UK right now. They are tackling one of the hardest problems in technology, teaching machines to drive, and they are doing it with an approach that the rest of the industry is now converging towards. Backed by SoftBank, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Uber, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, and Stellantis, Wayve has raised $2.8 billion in total funding and reached a valuation of $8.6 billion. With over 1,000 employees across London, Silicon Valley, Vancouver, Leonberg, Herzliya, and Tokyo, Wayve is scaling fast while keeping its London HQ at the centre. What stands out on Glassdoor (4.4/5 from 112+ reviews) is how consistently employees praise the culture, the calibre of colleagues, and the quality of the technical work. People describe it as some of the most interesting work of their careers. Wayve also offers an on-site chef, private healthcare, competitive pay with equity, and a genuine learning environment where you work alongside world-class ML researchers and engineers. That said, some reviews flag that the pace can be intense and that working across global time zones can stretch working hours. If you are an engineer, researcher, or operator who wants to work on genuinely frontier technology with real-world impact, and you thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments, Wayve is a rare opportunity.

• Earn a salary benchmarked against the market every year. • Receive meaningful equity in Wayve’s long-term success. • Get relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable. • Work hybrid with core hours and hands-on time in vehicle workshops and labs. • Use a learning and development budget for training and conferences. • Receive health and dental insurance, a pension and access to therapists. • Enjoy enhanced maternity and paternity leave, wellbeing partnerships and team socials.

Wayve is building an AI platform for autonomous driving, using an end-to-end approach where vehicles learn directly from real-world experience instead of hand-coded rules or pre-mapped environments. Its mapless, hardware-agnostic AI Driver integrates with global OEM partners and supports automation from L2+ through to L4. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, Wayve also has hubs in Sunnyvale, Yokohama, Herzliya, Vancouver and Leonberg.
