Responsibilities

  • Build and operate scalable data pipelines supporting model development, evaluation, and production ML workflows.
  • Ingest, transform, curate, and structure large-scale real-world, synthetic, and partner-provided datasets.
  • Develop data quality checks, validation processes, and monitoring for raw vehicle data and processed ML datasets.
  • Mine and curate data to improve scenario diversity, coverage, and feature-specific development.
  • Improve pipeline performance, reliability, usability, and iteration speed.
  • Collaborate with ML engineers, Data Corpus, AI Platform, and external partners to integrate pipelines with production learning systems.

Requirements

  • Proven experience building and operating scalable data pipelines or distributed data-processing systems in production.
  • Strong Python software-engineering skills and experience developing maintainable, reliable, and well-tested software.
  • Proficiency in SQL and PySpark, including warehouse/OLAP concepts and window functions.
  • Experience with workflow orchestration and DAG-based systems such as Airflow, Flyte, Ray, or similar.
  • Understanding of robotics and automated-driving data, including sensors, timestamps, clock synchronization, coordinate transformations, calibration, GNSS/IMU, and vehicle odometry.
  • Understanding of ML development workflows, including training-data generation, evaluation datasets, scenario mining, and model iteration.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills for interdisciplinary work.
  • Prior experience in calibration, perception, imitation learning, trajectory prediction, or third-party dataset ingestion is desirable.
  • Familiarity with automated-driving data and scenario taxonomies, ODD definitions, maneuver and behavior labels, scene classification, event tagging, and semantic understanding is desirable.

Benefits

  • Full-time role based in Tokyo, Japan.
  • Hybrid working policy combining time in the office and workshops with work from home.
  • Core working hours with flexibility to determine a schedule with the team.

About Wayve

501-1,000 employees

Wayve builds end-to-end autonomous driving software—the vehicle-agnostic Wayve AI Driver—that runs on onboard compute and native sensors, licensed to automakers and fleet operators. Its platform spans ADAS and higher autonomy (L2+/L3 to robotaxi) and is designed to generalize across vehicle types and geographies. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in London, it tests its models across Europe, North America, and Japan, with a U.S. base in Sunnyvale, CA.
