About the Team
AI Portal is the SaaS platform that connects Wayve to the outside world. The AI Portal team acts as the airlock between Wayve and its commercial partners: managing data flows, partner integrations, operational tooling, and web interfaces for internal and external audiences.
We are a small, high-ownership team operating like a startup within a scale-up: close to our customers and close to the commercial frontier of autonomous vehicle deployment.
We build product, own systems end-to-end, operate what we ship, and work directly with some of the biggest names in the automotive industry to ensure Wayve delivers a world-class technical experience.
The Role
This is a cloud-based software engineering role for a product-minded engineer who enjoys building fast with care, maintaining the solutions they build, and working close to customers.
You will work across services, interfaces, infrastructure, and integrations, looking after systems in production. We are looking for engineers who are comfortable moving across the stack to solve customer problems.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will:
- Build internal or partner-facing product features.
- Integrate Wayve systems with OEM (original equipment manufacturer) environments.
- Improve application quality and resolve production issues when they arise.
This is a build-it, run-it team with a high level of ownership: you will not just write code; you will have shared ownership of the systems we build. You will deploy metrics and feedback to improve Portal over time and deliver an outstanding customer experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Build and operate software products used by Wayve staff and our autonomy partners.
- Develop services, APIs, integrations, and user interfaces across the Portal platform.
- Work across microservices, web frontends, cloud infrastructure, and partner-facing systems.
- Improve the reliability, observability, and operability of the Portal platform.
- Triage and resolve production issues, whether reported by customers or detected through internal monitoring.
- Participate in an out-of-hours on-call and support rotation after initial establishment.
- Solve problems end-to-end: understand the customer need, design the solution, build it, ship it, and keep it running.
