Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!
Portal is the platform that connects Wayve to the outside world. The Portal team acts as the airlock between Wayve and its external partners: handling data flows, system integrations and direct use by OEMs. We operate as a startup within a scale-up: small, high-ownership, and working at the frontier of AV commercialisation.
The RoleThis is a partner-facing engineering role. You'll work directly with Wayve's automaker partners; building the solutions they need and resolving technical issues as they arise. You will split your time between building partner-facing product features, developing integrations between systems, improving observability and reliability, and resolving complex production issues when they arise.
What You'll Do- Build software at the interface of OEM and Wayve systems APIs, cross-cloud integrations, and user-interfaces.
- Customer-obsessed: work directly with our OEM partners to understand their needs and build impactful solutions with the Portal team.
- Triage and resolve technical issues with Portal; whether reported by customers or detected through internal monitoring
- Build monitoring and alerting tooling to proactively detect, triage and resolve integration issues before they impact customers
- Participate in an out-of-hours on-call rotation as part of a follow-the-sun 24/7 coverage model
- Support European OEM partners; build relationships with their engineers and teams
Both roles:
- Customer-facing technical experience: solutions engineering, technical support, integration engineering or similar
- Backend engineering (we have Java and Python services)
- Experience participating in on-call or support rotation, or supporting a production system
- Operational Cloud Infrastructure experience (Azure preferred)
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills: comfortable working directly with external enterprise partners
- Product-minded: you think about customer problems and build solutions to fix them.
- High autonomy and ownership: comfortable in ambiguous, fast-changing environments
- Motivated by a startup within a scale-up environment: small team, big impact, enterprise partners
- Experience building APIs for external users
- Frontend development experience
- Experience working with automotive or mobility industry partners
- Background in SRE, DevOps or cloud operations
- Experience building or operating monitoring or observability tooling
