About our Engineering Teams
Behind Wayve’s embodied AI is the compute and data infrastructure that enables our ML engineers and researchers to train and run increasingly capable models. Our Compute Foundations team builds and operates the large-scale cloud infrastructure that makes this possible, spanning GPU compute, storage, workload scheduling and the platforms that support training and inference.
You’ll lead this London-based team through its next phase of growth, helping build and maintain a reliable, high-performance, multi-cloud and multi-region platform. The challenges go beyond provisioning resources: they include scheduling workloads across different GPU architectures, keeping valuable compute available, and moving data efficiently while managing costs.
You’ll lead a team working with state-of-the-art tooling to tackle infrastructure challenges found only at the world’s leading AI companies, building the platform that enables Wayve to develop its AI Driver.
🧠 Your day-to-day
People leadership will be your first priority. You’ll coach and develop engineers, set clear expectations, manage performance. You’ll build technical leadership within the team, giving engineers the support and ownership they need to grow. You will guide the growth of the team through hiring and onboarding.
Alongside this, you will own project prioritisation and roadmap planning, aligning priorities and delivery plans with stakeholders across Wayve. Your goal is to maximise the impact of the team in alignment with the department and company objectives. You will provide visibility into the state of systems you own through clear KPIs and dashboards.
Leading a highly technical team, you’ll bring the technical judgement to guide complex infrastructure decisions and turn competing needs into a clear roadmap. Working with technical leads, partner teams and cloud providers, you’ll balance reliability, performance, capacity and cost, and help the team deliver sustainably.
How we work 💻- Locations & Flexible Working
Our main hubs are in London, Sunnyvale, Yokohama, Herzliya, Vancouver and Leonberg. We operate a hybrid working model that combines in-person collaboration in our dedicated office spaces with focused time working remotely. This gives our teams the connection and energy of working together, alongside the flexibility to do their best work in a way that fits their lives.
