DevOps Engineer, CI/CD

About the role

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.

🛠️ About our DevOps Teams

Our team builds and operates the infrastructure, tooling, and services that underpin Wayve’s software development lifecycle. We work closely with engineering teams across the organisation to make building, testing, and releasing software faster, more reliable, and easier to scale. As Wayve’s engineering workloads grow, we evolve the CI/CD architecture and developer experience needed to support them.

🧠 Your day-to-day

- Build, maintain, and improve CI/CD pipelines across development, testing, and release workflows.

- Operate and scale build agents, runners, artifact storage, and supporting services.

- Monitor and troubleshoot build and pipeline failures, identifying root causes and implementing long-term improvements.

- Partner with software engineers to remove workflow bottlenecks and shorten build and test feedback times.

- Develop tooling and automation that makes our engineering systems easier and more reliable to use.

🧩 What you’ll be working on

- Improving build speed, reliability, scalability, and reproducibility.

- Designing effective approaches to caching, dependency management, and incremental builds.

- Strengthening the resilience, security, and observability of our CI/CD infrastructure.

- Creating self-service tooling that enables teams to manage and evolve their own pipelines.

- Helping shape the future architecture of Wayve’s build and continuous-delivery platforms.

🙌 You should apply if

- You have at least three years of experience in DevOps, build engineering, CI/CD, developer infrastructure, or a related engineering role.

- You have hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automation systems.

- You have worked with platforms such as GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, Buildkite, Azure DevOps, or similar.

- You understand build concepts such as caching, dependency management, incremental builds, and reproducible builds.

- You are confident working with Linux, Git, and shell scripting.

- You can develop tools and automation using Python, Bash, Go, or a similar language.

- You enjoy solving complex infrastructure problems and working collaboratively with engineering teams.

🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.

More about Wayve:

🚀 Wayve is building the leading AI platform for autonomous driving. We are pioneering an end to end AI approach that enables vehicles to learn directly from real world experience, developing the ability to adapt, generalise and improve at scale. Instead of relying on hand coded rules or pre mapped environments, our AI Driver learns to drive by understanding the world around it. The result is technology that navigates complex urban environments with intelligence, precision and natural flow, unlocking meaningful advances in both safety and efficiency. We believe autonomy represents a once in a generation transformation in how people and goods move, comparable to the shift from horses to cars, and from human driven vehicles to intelligent machines.
