What are the responsibilities and job description for the Fullstack Software Engineer, Fullstack Excellence Platform Squad position at Wayve?
The role
As a founding fullstack software engineer on our Fullstack Excellence Platform squad, you’ll help shape the technical foundations that drive our applications—both internally and externally. You’ll own and improve our core front-end infrastructure (including UI test frameworks, component libraries, and micro-frontend architecture), while also contributing to security, scalability, and DevOps best practices.
This team’s mission is key to keep our engineering efforts at the cutting edge, providing efficient and secure solutions for both internal product teams and external customers. You’ll work alongside experts in front-end, back-end, security, and infrastructure, delivering seamless developer experiences and world-class user interfaces.
You’ll juggle platform-wide initiatives—like standardizing UI components and advising on security and infrastructure—alongside hands-on feature development for our internal products, plus supporting the transition of select apps for external release. In doing so, you’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering leaders to ensure our platforms meet and exceed expectations. Your contributions will set engineering standards across teams and applications, fostering a culture of technical excellence throughout the organization.
