Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.\nHere’s what this particular role covers.\nData Engineer\nAbout our Security Team\nAs Wayve’s security program grows, we need a scalable way to measure control effectiveness, automate evidence collection and provide continuous visibility into our security posture.\nAs a Data Engineer, you’ll join the Security team and build the data and automation capabilities that underpin our security program. You’ll work across Security to design scalable data pipelines, data models, integrations and automations that transform security data into actionable insights. Your work will improve operational decision-making, reduce manual effort and strengthen our ability to support customer, auditor and regulatory commitments.\nThis is an opportunity to build Wayve’s security analytics capability from the ground up, defining the architecture, data models and automations that become the foundation for how we measure and improve security.\nYour day-to-day\nYou’ll help make security governance continuous by partnering with Security Engineering, IT and Engineering teams to automate evidence collection, measure control effectiveness and establish the foundations of a data-driven security program.\nYou’ll build and maintain security data pipelines, integrate information from cloud, identity, engineering and security platforms, and develop analytics and visualisations that make our security posture easier to understand and act on. You’ll also identify opportunities to replace repetitive manual processes with scalable engineering solutions.\nThis role is well suited to someone motivated by automation who believes security data should be continuously available, reliable and actionable.\nWhat you’ll be working on:\nDesigning, building and maintaining scalable data pipelines that collect, transform and enrich security data from systems across Wayve.\n\nIntegrating data from identity, cloud, engineering and security platforms to create a unified view of Wayve’s security posture.\n\nBuilding robust data models that provide high-fidelity datasets for security analytics, operational reporting and measuring control effectiveness.\n\nDesigning analytics products and visualisations that provide meaningful insights into the health, maturity and performance of the security program.\n\nEnsuring data quality, lineage, reliability, observability and maintainability across our security analytics platform.\n\nBuilding automated evidence-collection capabilities that reduce manual effort across governance, customer assurance and security operations.\n\nDeveloping analytics that support continuous control monitoring and demonstrate control effectiveness through measurable outcomes.\n\nPartnering with stakeholders across Security to translate security controls into measurable, automated indicators where practical.\n\nDesigning and implementing automations that replace repetitive operational processes with scalable engineering solutions.\n\nPartnering with subject-matter experts to develop meaningful KPIs and metrics that help Security understand performance, risk, trends and operational health.\n\nWorking with stakeholders across Security to understand analytical requirements and translate them into scalable technical solutions.\n\nContinuously improving how security data is collected, modeled and consumed across the organization.\n\nDuring your first year, you’ll establish the foundations of Wayve’s security analytics and automation capability, including continuous security data pipelines, automated evidence collection for selected key controls, meaningful security KPIs and reusable data products. Your work will help move the Security program from periodic assessment toward continuous measurement and assurance.\nYou should apply if:\nYou have experience designing and operating reliable data platforms or analytics engineering solutions in production environments.\n\nYou have experience building production-quality data pipelines and automation using Python, SQL or similar technologies.\n\nYou have experience modeling data for analytical use cases.\n\nYou have a strong understanding of modern data engineering practices, including data modeling, ETL/ELT, API integrations, data quality and observability.\n\nYou have experience working in cloud-native environments and integrating data from cloud platforms and SaaS sources.\n\nYou have experience building integrations and automation using APIs rather than relying solely on out-of-the-box platform capabilities.\n\nYou bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills and can translate complex technical data into actionable insights.\n\nYou have experience designing dashboards and metrics that support operational or business decision-making.\n\nYou have excellent communication skills and can collaborate effectively across Security, Engineering and other technical teams.\n\nExperience working within cybersecurity, security engineering or security governance is a plus.\n\nAwareness of security frameworks such as TISAX, ISO 27001 and NIST CSF is a plus.\n\nExperience measuring control effectiveness, building security metrics or implementing continuous assurance capabilities is a plus.\n\nFamiliarity with security telemetry, identity systems, cloud platforms, endpoint security or vulnerability-management tooling is a plus.\n\nNot 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.\nMore about Wayve:\nWayve 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.\nOur 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.\nHow we work - Locations & Flexible Working:\nThis is a full-time role based in Sunnyvale, CA (hybrid).
