Full Stack Software Engineer, Evaluation Tools

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 Engineering Teams

The Evaluation Tools group builds the internal products that accelerate the full AI Driver development loop, from defining a test to debugging model behaviour. Model developers, researchers and QA engineers across Wayve depend on our tools to understand driving performance and scale evaluation to millions of scenarios, and every major model release runs through them.

You’ll join the Search & Agents squad in Sunnyvale. We build the search, scenario mining and agentic tooling that lets anyone find the right driving scenarios and turn them into tests without writing SQL. Our work is the entry point to a fully agentic development loop: identify an issue → mine for scenarios → build and run a test suite → root-cause the failure → retrain → repeat.

You’ll work across the stack and own features end-to-end: talking to users, shaping ideas, building robust software, and validating impact. Evaluation is an evolving challenge, so you’ll also have plenty of opportunity to define new projects as user needs emerge.

🧠 Your day-to-day

- Build fullstack features across search, scenario mining and agentic tooling.

- Talk to model developers and researchers, and define how you will measure success before building.

- Take the scenario mining framework from prototype to production scale.

- Extend our agent tooling so agents can run evaluation workflows end to end.

- Work with large-scale data systems (Databricks, Spark) in an established codebase.

- Own the reliability and maintainability of what you ship.

🧩 What you’ll be working on

- Build fullstack features across search, scenario mining, agentic tooling, and the web applications our users work in to curate scenarios and build test suites.

- Work directly with users to understand pain points, then define and measure what success looks like (adoption, time saved, reliability) before you build.

- Ship high-quality software with strong attention to reliability, performance and maintainability.

- Contribute to architectural decisions that scale across the team’s products.

- Use AI tools to improve how we build, from speeding up development to refining team workflows and product quality.
