About the Team
Portal is the platform that connects Wayve to the outside world; handling data exchange with partners, surfacing AI insights, and enabling the commercial deployment of Wayve's autonomy stack to OEM partners globally. The team operates as a startup within a scale-up: with its own infrastructure, its own DevOps, and a high-autonomy operating model independent from Wayve's core engineering org.
The Role
We're looking for a Platform Engineer to own and evolve the cloud infrastructure and developer tooling that underpins the entire Portal engineering team.
This is a broad, hands-on platform engineering role, not a narrow specialisation. You'll work across cloud infrastructure, RBAC/IAM, CI/CD, Kubernetes and developer productivity. You'll be the person application developers come to when they need to move faster, more safely and you'll build the systems and guardrails that make that possible.
What You'll Do
Design, build and maintain cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and developer tooling (primarily Azure) using IaC (Terraform) across development, staging, and production environments.
Own and evolve RBAC/IAM across both cloud/infrastructure and application/product layers for a multi-tenant Portal environment.
Build and improve CI/CD pipelines to increase developer velocity, reliability and deployment safety.
Support and improve Kubernetes-based deployment workflows and platform services.
Build internal tools and observability capabilities that help engineers deliver performant, reliable software at scale.
Participate in a support/on-call rotation; respond to incidents, support engineers, and contribute to root cause analysis.
Apply practical security and networking knowledge to harden the platform and coach application developers on best practices.
What We're Looking For
Strong hands-on cloud infrastructure experience, ideally Azure, with production Terraform/IaC experience.
Strong RBAC/IAM knowledge at cloud/infrastructure level; experience with application/product-level IAM or multi-tenancy is highly valuable.
Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
Security and networking fundamentals: you are a hands-on builder, not just a reviewer
Experience as part of a support or on-call rotation
A strong communicator who can coach and guide application developers, not just build in isolation
A product mindset: you think about the developer experience and build tools that genuinely improve how the team works
High autonomy and ownership: you take responsibility for outcomes in a fast-moving team
Nice to Have
Experience working with multiple cloud providers or cross-cloud IAM across Azure, AWS and/or GCP
Background in developer experience (DX) or internal tooling
Experience in a startup or high-growth engineering environment
Security certifications are a plus but not required
This is a full-time role based in our office in London. At Wayve we want the best of all worlds so we operate a hybrid working policy that combines time together in our offices and workshops to fuel innovation, culture, relationships and learning, and time spent working from home. We operate core working hours so you can determine the schedule that works best for you and your team.
