The Role
We’re looking for a Model Release Engineer to build the platform that moves Wayve’s AI models from promising new features through training, simulation, on-road testing, and release. You’ll automate a complex process spanning multiple systems and teams, creating a scalable, reliable, and transparent path to production. Working across the full model-release lifecycle, you’ll directly improve how quickly and confidently we deploy new AI Driver models.
Key Responsibilities
- Design and build services and workflows that automate the end-to-end model-release process, from feature integration through training, evaluation, approval, and promotion.
- Integrate the platform with systems owned by Model Engineering, MLOps, Simulation, Measurement, On-Road Testing, Operations, and Release Management.
- Work closely with teams across Wayve to understand their requirements, agree on interfaces, and resolve technical or delivery conflicts across shared workflows.
- Improve the reliability, scalability, and observability of the platform through effective monitoring, alerting, and operational tooling.
- Provide clear visibility of model candidates, their progress, evaluation results, approvals, and release status.
- Use AI-assisted development and agentic workflows to automate manual engineering tasks and accelerate delivery.
