Site Reliability Engineer - Vehicle Software

The role

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Wayve, you will work across the full reliability stack for our vehicle software: observability, incident management, operator tooling, and the automation that lets engineering and operations teams detect, triage, and resolve issues faster. You will work closely with software engineers, field engineers, and operations, debugging real systems, improving real processes, and having direct impact on how our vehicles perform in production.

Wayve is scaling its autonomous vehicle programs with partners, and you will help shape the SRE approach for vehicle-centric systems as that happens. This is not a role where reliability sits on top of the real work, it is central to it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and improve tooling, automation, observability, and incident-management processes for vehicle software reliability.
  • Work closely with field engineers, software teams, and operations to diagnose reliability issues and improve system performance.
  • Own hands-on debugging across Linux, low-level systems, logs, metrics, traces, and vehicle and production data.
  • Develop reliability improvements that reduce manual intervention and make issue detection, triage, and recovery faster.
  • Support vehicle-centric operations, including safety-operator tools and the reliability needs of our customer and partner programs.

About you Essential skills

  • You will write production-quality code every day in Python, C++, or Rust. This is a software engineering role as much as a reliability role, and coding is central to the work.
  • Comfortable debugging at the Linux and systems level, reading logs, tracing failures, and finding root cause in complex environments.
  • Experience with CI/CD, containerization, networking, distributed systems, databases, and observability and incident-management tooling, including DataDog, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Splunk, or Humio.
  • Experience diagnosing complex production or operational systems, not just escalating, but seeing problems through to resolution.
  • The communication skills to work effectively across engineering, operations, and field teams, and the judgment to know when to bring others in.
  • Based in Sunnyvale and able to be onsite at least three days a week to work alongside the field teams you will support.

Desirable skills

  • Experience with autonomous vehicles, robotics, embedded systems, or safety-critical environments. We know this is rare, and it is not a barrier to applying.
  • Experience with large-scale telemetry or high-volume data pipelines.
  • Familiarity with vehicle-centric or on-device software systems.

This is a full-time role based in our office in Sunnyvale. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home. The reasonably estimated salary for this role ranges from $209,700 to $266,800, plus a competitive equity package. Actual compensation is based on the candidate's skills, qualifications, and experience.

Wayve is committed to creating an inclusive interview experience. If you require any accommodations or adjustments to participate fully in our interview process, please let us know.

We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.

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.
