Platform Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure

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 Platform Engineering Teams

Our Platform Engineering team builds and operates the cloud infrastructure, automation, and deployment systems that power Wayve’s software development. Working primarily with Azure, the team creates reliable, scalable, and secure platforms that help engineers develop, test, and release software efficiently. You’ll collaborate with teams across Wayve that are advancing embodied AI and autonomous driving.

🧠 Your day-to-day

You’ll build, maintain, and improve cloud infrastructure across development, testing, and production environments. You’ll automate infrastructure provisioning, support CI/CD pipelines, monitor platform performance, and troubleshoot issues affecting reliability or delivery. You’ll also work closely with engineering teams to understand their needs and continuously improve the developer experience.

🧩 What you’ll be working on

- Cloud infrastructure and services, primarily within Azure

- Infrastructure as Code using tools such as Terraform and Ansible

- Cloud-based CI/CD pipelines and deployment systems

- Containerised workloads and orchestration platforms

- Monitoring, observability, security, and cost optimisation

- Incident response, root-cause analysis, and operational automation

🙌 You should apply if

- You have 2–5 years of experience in DevOps, cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or a related role

- You have hands-on experience with Azure, AWS, or GCP

- You’ve worked with Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform or Ansible

- You’re familiar with CI/CD systems and cloud-based deployment pipelines

- You understand networking, cloud architecture, and system reliability fundamentals

- You’re a collaborative problem-solver who enjoys troubleshooting complex systems and reducing manual work through automation

🌱 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.
