Role
Who you are
- 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
- 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
- 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
Desirable
- Strong stakeholder management skills and willingness to work closely with internal, non-technical stakeholders
- Proven experience with Retool
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
- 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

Our take
Wayve is developing AI that teaches cars to drive autonomously using reinforcement learning, simulation, and computer vision. Wayve’s core premise is that the big breakthrough in self-driving cars will come from better AI brains rather than more sensors or “hand-coded” rules which it believes are highly restrictive and not at all scalable.
The company said that it trains its autonomous driving system using simulated environments and then transfers that knowledge into the real world, where it emulates how humans adapt to conditions in real time. It ultimately relies on end-to-end deep learning AI rather than hard-engineered AI. This is one of the world's hardest problems to solve, but Wayve has made an exciting start and is taking a very different approach to competitors like Uber and Waymo, who are relying more on sensors.
Following a few years of innovative breakthroughs, Wayve now has backing from high-profile investors such as Microsoft and angels, including Uber's chief scientist Zoubin Ghahramani and Pieter Abbeel, a UC Berkeley robotics professor and pioneer of deep reinforcement learning. The company's strategic partnerships with outfits like Asda and Ocado to test-run autonomous deliveries, as well as publicity through the Minister is a show of confidence in the future of Wayve's solution to autonomous driving.
