wayve - Software Engineer, Simulation
Responsibilities
• Work hands-on in the shared modern C++ and Python simulation codebase. • Implement scoped features and integrate driving-stack components, simulated robot systems and new vehicle-platform capabilities. • Support and test different simulation configurations, initially with a strong focus on high-scale open-loop evaluation. • Investigate differences between on-road and simulated execution, tracing issues across component interfaces, data flows, timing and configuration. • Improve automated testing, observability, reproducibility, reliability and developer tooling. • Profile simulator workloads and contribute performance and scalability improvements. • Collaborate with Simulation, Robotics, Autonomy, Evaluation, Platform and Data teams to clarify requirements and resolve integration issues. • 🧩 What you’ll be working on • Develop and maintain production-quality components within Wayve’s simulation system using modern C++ and Python. • Integrate driving-stack components, simulated robot systems and new vehicle-platform capabilities into the shared simulation environment. • Support different simulation configurations and ensure components interact correctly across applicable workflows. • Investigate differences between on-road and simulated execution, identifying issues across data, inference and simulated components. • Improve simulation reproducibility, reliability and debuggability through automated testing, observability and better developer tooling. • Profile and improve simulator performance, helping us run increasingly large evaluation workloads efficiently. • Work with internal users and adjacent engineering teams to clarify requirements, resolve integration issues and deliver scoped improvements. • Contribute to technical designs and help evolve the quality and maintainability of the simulation codebase. • 🙌 You should apply if • Professional experience developing, delivering and maintaining production software in a collaborative engineering environment. • Strong software development skills in C++ and Python, with depth in at least one and the ability to work effectively in both. • Relevant experience in simulation, robotics, autonomous systems or similarly complex systems involving multiple interacting software components. • Good understanding of software and data-oriented design, including how to build code that is maintainable, reusable and extensible. • Experience debugging complex systems and reasoning about interfaces, data flows, timing and failure modes. • Understanding of common software performance issues and the ability to make pragmatic design trade-offs. • Ability to independently deliver scoped features, communicate progress clearly and raise risks or blockers early. • Experience using GenAI development tools, such as coding assistants or agents, to improve productivity while carefully reviewing, testing and validating their output. • Strong communication and collaboration skills. • 🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
Benefits
• 💰 Salaries benchmarked against the market annually • 📈 Meaningful equity, sharing in the ownership and long term success of Wayve • ✈️ Relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable • ✅ Hybrid working, core hours and the chance to work hands on in vehicle workshops and labs • 📚 Learning and development budgets with support for training, conferences and growth • 🩺 Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, dental, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, retirement or pension where applicable, access to therapists, wellbeing partnerships, team socials and more • Wayve is not a mature, fully-structured place with the playbook already written. Much of how we work is still being written, and if you join, you’ll help write it. That suits people who want real ownership more than people who need a settled structure from day one. • If that sounds like the kind of problem you want to spend your time on, we’d really like to hear from you. • At Wayve we're committed to creating a diverse, fair and respectful culture that is inclusive of everyone based on their unique skills and perspectives, and regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law. • For more information visit Careers at Wayve. https://wayve.ai/careers/ To learn more about what drives us, visit Values at Wayve https://wayve.ai/careers/
