Senior Software Engineer, Data

Overview

In this role you will help build Wayves Data Transfer Hub, a mission-critical data exchange layer that scales to petabytes of sensor data daily from partners. You will work in a small, autonomous team on a globally distributed hub-and-spoke system, collaborating with partners like Uber, Stellantis and Nissan to enable scalable model training. You will shape data pipelines, observability and cloud infrastructure to support data-driven AI development. This is a fast-paced, impact-driven position at a company advancing autonomous driving and data capabilities.
