The role
As a Data Engineer focused on Data Quality & Provenance, you will build the data foundation that enables Wayve’s autonomous-driving development. You’ll turn vast volumes of fleet and simulation data into trusted, discoverable and reproducible datasets that ML, autonomy, simulation and safety teams can use with confidence. This is a high-impact opportunity to define the data products, standards and operating model behind embodied intelligence at petabyte scale.
Key responsibilities:
- Design, build and operate scalable batch and streaming pipelines for multimodal fleet and simulation data.
- Create data models, catalogs, indexes and query capabilities that make sensor, vehicle-state, map and event data easy to discover and use.
- Build versioned, reproducible datasets for training, evaluation, replay, scenario mining and safety analysis.
- Develop robust workflows for data ingestion, synchronisation, transformation, curation, labelling and data-quality validation.
- Partner with autonomy, ML, simulation and safety engineers to define schemas, APIs and data contracts.
- Establish strong standards for lineage, observability, access controls, retention and cost management across the data platform.
- Improve the performance, reliability and unit economics of large-scale storage and compute workloads.
About you
In order to set you up for success as a Data Engineer, Data Quality & Provenance at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.
Essential
- Strong hands-on Python and SQL skills, with solid production software-engineering fundamentals.
- Experience designing and operating large-scale distributed data systems, beyond small-scale analytics or reporting pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with distributed processing and workflow orchestration technologies, such as Spark, Flyte, Airflow or equivalent tools.
- Experience building and operating cloud-based data platforms using object storage, including data organisation, versioning, querying, governance and cost management.
- Proven ownership of data quality, lineage, observability, reproducibility and incident response for production data workflows.
- Experience translating ambiguous requirements from ML, data-science, robotics or similarly technical teams into durable, reusable platform capabilities.
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and helping define the boundaries, standards and ways of working for a growing data platform.
Desirable
- Experience in autonomous vehicles, ADAS, robotics, mapping, drones or another sensor-rich domain.
- Familiarity with time-synchronised sensor data, geospatial data, or multimodal datasets.
- Understanding of ML training, evaluation, simulation or closed-loop development workflows.
