Full Stack Software Engineer, Evaluation Tools

The posting, as Wayve wrote it

Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve.

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.

Here’s what this particular role covers.

🛠️ About our Engineering Teams

The Evaluation Tools group builds the internal products that accelerate the full AI Driver development loop, from defining a test to debugging model behaviour. Model developers, researchers and QA engineers across Wayve depend on our tools to understand driving performance and scale evaluation to millions of scenarios, and every major model release runs through them.

You’ll join the Search & Agents squad in Sunnyvale. We build the search, scenario mining and agentic tooling that lets anyone find the right driving scenarios and turn them into tests without writing SQL. Our work is the entry point to a fully agentic development loop: identify an issue → mine for scenarios → build and run a test suite → root-cause the failure → retrain → repeat.

You’ll work across the stack and own features end-to-end: talking to users, shaping ideas, building robust software, and validating impact. Evaluation is an evolving challenge, so you’ll also have plenty of opportunity to define new projects as user needs emerge.

🧠 Your day-to-day

• Build fullstack features across search, scenario mining and agentic tooling.
• Talk to model developers and researchers, and define how you will measure success before building.
• Take the scenario mining framework from prototype to production scale.
• Extend our agent tooling so agents can run evaluation workflows end to end.
• Work with large-scale data systems (Databricks, Spark) in an established codebase.
• Own the reliability and maintainability of what you ship.

🧩 What you’ll be working on

• Build fullstack features across search, scenario mining, agentic tooling, and the web applications our users work in to curate scenarios and build test suites.
• Work directly with users to understand pain points, then define and measure what success looks like (adoption, time saved, reliability) before you build.
• Ship high-quality software with strong attention to reliability, performance and maintainability.
• Contribute to architectural decisions that scale across the team’s products.
• Use AI tools to improve how we build, from speeding up development to refining team workflows and product quality.

🙌 You should apply if

Essential

• Strong development skills in Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript, with experience using React or similar front-end frameworks
• Strong SQL skills with a solid understanding of database design and optimisation
• Experience designing and building production-level fullstack systems and reliable, high-performance APIs
• Track record of building robust, maintainable systems and applying engineering

A quick, honest note before you apply.

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.

However, we do look to capture information about care responsibilities, and disabilities among other diversity information as part of an optional DEI Monitoring form to help us identify areas of improvement in our hiring process and ensure that the process is inclusive and non-discriminatory.
