Make Wayve the experience that defines your career!

The role

Join Wayve to build the in‑vehicle interface that helps peoplesee and understand what an autonomous vehicle is doing in real time. You will turn complex AI outputs, camera feeds, and vehicle state into clear, trustworthy 2D and 3D visualisations that are used in moving vehicles every day. This role spans rapid iteration with real operators and the engineering depth needed for reliable, high-performance multi-platform systems. The impact is direct: you will shape how humans interact with autonomy and how the organisation diagnoses and improves on-road behaviour.

Key responsibilities:

  • Build and evolve an in‑vehicle web application that visualises camera feeds, vehicle state, and system outputs for live operation, demos, and diagnostics.
  • Design and deliver 3D spatial visualisations of the vehicle’s surroundings (trajectories, perception meshes, occupancy, overlays) using WebGL / Three.js / similar.
  • Integrate high-frequency real-time data streams and backend services into a responsive, performant UI that runs reliably in constrained environments.
  • Partner closely with Vehicle Safety Operators and engineers to understand workflows, iterate quickly based on field feedback, and improve usability and operational efficiency.
  • Own technical quality and long-term maintainability: architecture, testing, observability, performance tuning, and clear end-to-end feature ownership across the stack.

About you

In order to set you up for success as a Fullstack Software Engineer at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.

Essential

  • Strong JavaScript/TypeScript + React experience building production-grade web applications end-to-end.
  • Experience building browser-based 3D visualisations (WebGL, Three.js, React Three Fiber, or similar).
  • Proven ability to integrate frontends with backend services and real-time, high-frequency data streams.
  • Strong engineering fundamentals around performance, reliability, testing, and maintainable system design, with clear ownership and high autonomy.
  • Ability to work closely with users and stakeholders (operators and engineers), iterate quickly based on feedback, and still ship robust solutions.
  • Strong debugging and problem-solving skills, including diagnosing issues across UI, data pipelines, and runtime/perf bottlenecks.

Desirable

  • Experience shipping software in constrained or safety-critical environments (for example, in-vehicle, edge, intermittent connectivity).
  • Experience working across multi-platform systems (web + mobile/Android) and designing cohesive architectures across them.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership: setting direction, mentoring, and driving quality improvements (observability, scalability, robustness).
  • Experience with UI performance and rendering optimisation, especially for complex scenes or data-heavy visualisations.
  • Familiarity with streaming architectures, pub/sub, or telemetry systems that support real-time visualisation and monitoring.


This is a full-time role based in our office in London. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home.

Wayve is committed to creating an inclusive interview experience. If you require any accommodations or adjustments to participate fully in our interview process, please let us know

We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.

Where to Advertise Robotics Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising robotics jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool spans mechanical engineers, software developers, controls specialists, computer vision researchers and systems integrators — a multidisciplinary mix that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest robotics candidates are often embedded in research groups, defence programmes or advanced manufacturing environments, and move between roles through specialist networks and industry events rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by RoboticsJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise robotics roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Robotics Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Transforming Automation Careers

Robotics is moving rapidly from factory floors into healthcare, logistics, agriculture, autonomous systems, and consumer products. As automation becomes embedded in everyday life, companies are investing in robots that operate alongside humans, analyse environments in real time, and learn from data. In 2026, demand for robotics engineers, software developers, system integrators, and AI specialists continues to surge. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.RoboticsJobs.co.uk , understanding the employers that are scaling, winning contracts, securing investment, or expanding into the UK market is crucial. This article highlights top robotics employers to watch in 2026, spanning innovative startups, high‑growth scale‑ups, and established global technology leaders with strong UK presence.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.
