Staff Applied Scientist- Embodied AI via Smarter Data

Science is the team that is advancing our end-to-end autonomous driving research. The team’s mission is to accelerate our journey to AV2.0 and ensure the future success of Wayve by incubating and investing in new ideas that have the potential to become game-changing technological advances for the company. We’re building AI-native driving intelligence—from raw sensor input to on-road decisions—with a foundation model approach at the core. As part of this, we’re looking for an applied scientist who can help shape how we learn from data: not just more of it, but smarter use of it. This role sits at the intersection of data curation, model evaluation, interpretability, and scientific data optimization. You’ll work closely with our world-class behavior modeling and architecture teams to make the data layer a first-class citizen—turning fleet-scale data into structured, targeted learning signals. This is a unique chance to join a science-first team working at the cutting edge of end-to-end autonomy, where model behavior, interpretability, and generalization all hinge on the right data.
