About the job
Lead the strategy and production systems for selecting, scoring, routing, and provisioning driving data used to train Wayve’s autonomous-driving models, balancing model quality with storage costs.
What you'll do
- Build and own models and systems that score incoming driving data and route it to storage tiers or deletion.
- Work with model-training teams to define useful data distributions and lead data-policy collaboration across teams.
- Lead hands-on development of data provisioning and provenance features, evolving practical filtering heuristics toward ML-driven approaches.
What they ask for
- Strong autonomous-vehicle or robotics experience with large-scale driving, sensor, or comparable data.
- Experience building models that score, select, or filter data.
- Experience operating at petabyte scale.
- Strong Python and Spark skills, with large-scale cloud data experience.
Nice to have
- Experience in data selection, retention, or filtering for model training; edge or vehicle-side filtering; computer vision; or high-volume IoT data.
- Experience leading small cross-functional groups.
