Wayve is hiring a mid-level data ingestion engineer for its Sunnyvale, CA office, working on-site full-time. The job centres on the pipelines that move real-world driving data — over 500,000 hours, hundreds of petabytes — into annotation, data science and model training. Day-to-day work includes debugging blocked pipelines, handling corrupt or inconsistent formats from partners, orchestrating multi-step workflows, and tuning Spark jobs for throughput and cost. The posting asks for strong production Spark and Python experience, plus comfort with messy data at PB scale and production failures. Reliability and reduced operational toil are the focus.
