Software Developer, Fleet Operations

We are looking for a Low-Code Developer to join our Operational Systems and Insights team to architect sophisticated internal systems that power our fleet operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and deploy custom internal tools and interfaces using low-code products focusing on high-quality UX and complex conditional logic.
  • Architect multi-step automation sequences that connect systems, ensuring data integrity and process efficiency.
  • Write and optimize queries to fetch, transform, and push data across the stack, ensuring our low-code front-ends are powered by robust back-end logic.
  • Act as the Subject Matter Expert for our low-code ecosystem, maintaining best practices in GitHub version control and environment management.
  • Partner with Process Excellence Managers and Data Scientists to translate "business problems" into "data solutions," leading UAT and iterative deployments.

About You

You love optimisation and thrive in cross-functional teams, shaping and implementing process improvements while enabling data-driven decision-making for operational colleagues. You’re proactive, curious, entrepreneurial, and comfortable learning on the go. You understand that “low-code” doesn’t mean “no-code,” and you bring strong systems thinking to ensure what you build is robust and scalable. You balance technical rigour with UX sensibility, creating intuitive, user-friendly solutions.

In this role, you’ll be the bridge between complex data infrastructure and elegant, functional user interfaces, using modern platforms to solve real operational challenges. You’ll lead the shift from manual, fragmented processes to high-performance digital workflows that scale.

Essential Requirements

  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript and Python, ability to extend low-code functionality, manipulate data objects, and implement custom logic within Retool.

  • Ability to write complex SQL queries to build, test, and document data models.

  • Comfortable using GitHub for version control and configuration management.

  • Experience designing and implementing data pipelines using APIs to integrate fragmented third-party systems.

  • Proficient in Spark and Python, with hands-on experience in ETL frameworks, data cleaning, and data modelling.

  • Experience working with Kafka, Kubernetes, Flyte, and cloud environments.

  • Solid understanding of UX concepts and best practices.

Desirable Qualifications

  • Strong stakeholder management skills and willingness to work closely with internal, non-technical stakeholders.
  • Proven experience with Retool.

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.

Candidates must already hold the right to work in the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, we are unable to sponsor new visas or extend existing ones for this role.

This is a full-time role based in our offices inLondon. 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. We operate core working hours so you can determine the schedule that works best for you and your team.

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

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.
