The role Join Wayve’s Onboard Experience team to lead the technical direction of the in-vehicle web experience that helps people see and trust what an autonomous vehicle is doing in real time. You will own a high-impact product used in live vehicle operations, spanning camera/video, 2D overlays, and 3D spatial visualisation of the vehicle’s surroundings. This is a rare opportunity to build reliable, safety-critical software under real-world constraints while shaping how complex AI systems are presented to humans. You will work closely with operators and engineers, balancing rapid iteration with robustness, performance, and maintainability. Key responsibilities Lead architecture and technical strategy across web, backend, and in-vehicle environments, setting standards for reliability, performance, and code quality. Drive the evolution of real-time visualisation features, including camera/video + overlays and 3D spatial rendering of trajectories, perception, and occupancy. Partner with operators, product, safety, and engineering stakeholders to prioritise and deliver improvements that measurably increase usability and operational efficiency. Mentor engineers and raise the bar on engineering practices, including testing, observability, incident readiness, and long-term maintainability. Make pragmatic trade-offs in a constrained, intermittently connected environment, ensuring the system remains dependable in live demos and day-to-day operations.
