Infrastructure Engineer

Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve.

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.

Here’s what this particular role covers.

🛠️ About Our Infrastructure Teams

Wayve’s Infrastructure Engineering teams build and operate the secure, reliable foundations that enable our engineers and researchers to develop and test Embodied AI at scale. In this role, you’ll be the first infrastructure-focused hire in our Tel Aviv office, working closely with our central networking team in London and our IT and cloud infrastructure teams across the UK, US and Japan.⁠

🧠 Your day-to-day

You’ll take local ownership of Tel Aviv’s network and site infrastructure—from resolving outages and improving performance to supporting office growth and new deployments. You’ll collaborate with global teams to maintain consistent configuration, security and observability standards, while providing pragmatic, hands-on infrastructure and IT support to local colleagues.⁠

🧩 What You’ll Be Working On

• Designing, deploying and maintaining wired and wireless networks, VLANs, VPNs, routing and firewall policies.
• Building secure, high-bandwidth and resilient infrastructure for AI development and autonomous vehicle testing.
• Improving automation and repeatability through Terraform, Ansible, Python and Bash.
• Supporting hybrid connectivity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud environments.
• Strengthening monitoring, documentation and incident response across our global sites.
• Helping establish scalable infrastructure standards that can be reused as Wayve continues to grow.⁠
  
  

🙌 You should apply if

• You have 5+ years of experience in infrastructure, networking, DevOps or a related role.
• You have strong networking fundamentals across TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, routing, switching, VPNs and firewalls.
• You have hands-on experience with Linux systems administration and enterprise networking platforms such as Juniper, Cisco or MikroTik.
• You can automate infrastructure using Bash or Python and tools such as Terraform and Ansible.
• You have worked with hybrid on-premises and cloud environments; Azure experience is beneficial.
• You understand infrastructure security, including network segmentation, endpoint controls, certificate management and secure access.
• You’re comfortable taking ownership, working independently and collaborating clearly with distributed teams across time zones.
  
  

🌱 Not ticking every box? That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.

More About Wayve

🚀 Wayve is building the leading AI platform for autonomous driving. We are pioneering an end to end AI approach that enables vehicles to learn directly from real world experience, developing the ability to adapt, generalise and improve at scale. Instead of relying on hand coded rules or pre mapped environments, our AI Driver learns to drive by understanding the world around it. The result is technology that navigates complex urban environments with intelligence, precision and natural flow, unlocking meaningful advances in both safety and efficiency. We believe autonomy represents a once in a generation transformation in how people and goods move, comparable to the shift from horses to cars, and from human driven vehicles to intelligent machines.

Our ambition is to make autonomy universal. Wayve’s mapless and hardware agnostic AI platform integrates with global OEM partners, enabling continuous software evolution and unlocking advanced levels of automation from L2 plus through to L4 as our core AI model scales. In a race increasingly defined by intelligence and real world learning, Wayve is taking a distinct approach, building a generalisable driving intelligence that can power any vehicle, anywhere. By combining embodied AI with scalable deployment, we are creating technology that can be shaped to each OEM brand and driver experience, accelerating the transition to a safer, more intelligent future of mobility.

A quick, honest note before you apply.

Wayve is not a mature, fully-structured place with the playbook already written. Much of how we work is still being written, and if you join, you’ll help write it. That suits people who want real ownership more than people who need a settled structure from day one.

If that sounds like the kind of problem you want to spend your time on, we’d really like to hear from you.

At Wayve we're committed to creating a diverse, fair and respectful culture that is inclusive of everyone based on their unique skills and perspectives, and regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law.
