Platform Engineer, SDO

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.

The Role

As a Platform Engineer, you will help build, operate, and improve the cloud platforms and infrastructure that support Wayve's software development and release systems.

Working as part of a team, you’ll focus on maintaining reliable, scalable, and secure cloud environments, while improving the systems that enable efficient software development, testing, and deployment. This is a hands-on role with opportunities to deepen your expertise in cloud infrastructure, automation, and platform engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and improve cloud infrastructure (primarily Azure) to support development, testing, and production environments.
• Contribute to Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) implementations (e.g. Terraform, Ansible) to ensure consistent and repeatable infrastructure provisioning.
• Support and improve CI/CD pipelines and deployment systems running in cloud environments.
• Monitor, troubleshoot, and optimise cloud systems for performance, reliability, and cost efficiency.
• Assist in managing containerised workloads and orchestration platforms (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes).
• Implement and maintain observability tools (logging, metrics, alerting) to ensure system health and rapid incident response.
• Work with engineering teams to ensure infrastructure meets application requirements and supports scalable software delivery.
• Help improve security, access control, and compliance within cloud environments.
• Participate in incident response and root cause analysis for infrastructure and deployment issues.
• Continuously improve automation, reducing manual operations across infrastructure and deployment workflows.
