The Role

We are hiring an Engineering Manager (M4) to lead our Data Curation team a growing pillar of Wayve's ML Engineering organization. This team builds the systems and policies that enable researchers and engineers to curate a balanced, high-quality video corpus for autonomous driving models.

Your team will be responsible for integrating high-leverage tooling for data filtering, corpus shaping, and quality triage, and driving the infrastructure that underpins our training data policy. You'll lead a team of ML and backend engineers, growing from 4 to 8+ people as we scale into 2026.

This role sits at the heart of how Wayve learns from data owning the link between enrichment, evaluation, and model performance at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and enforce corpus inclusion policies to ensure scenario diversity, geographic balance, and model relevance.
• Drive technical direction across:
  • Metric-driven corpus shaping and performance-informed dataset selection
  • Programmatic data filtering and prioritization pipelines
  • Quality triage and rejection tooling (e.g., label noise, sensor anomalies)
  • Embedding-based retrieval workflows for hard mining and data clustering
• Integrate with existing internal visualization tools and selectively adopt 3rd-party platforms (e.g., Voxel 51, W&B Tables).
• Partner with Science, Pretraining, and Enrichment teams to align data policy with downstream model goals.
• Coach and grow a team of 48 engineers, supporting their technical and career development.
• Define and deliver the roadmap for scalable dataset curation, enabling high-signal training data at low marginal cost.

• 2+ years managing engineering teams in ML infra, data platforms, or model tooling domains.
• Strong engineering background fluency with Python, TypeScript, and production-grade backend systems (e.g., APIs, orchestration, storage).
• Experience building data quality or filtering workflows using robust, testable codebases (not notebooks).
• Deep understanding of ML development workflows and dataset iteration bottlenecks.
• Proven ability to scale systems for large-scale video, image, or log data.
  
  

Desirable Skills and Experience

• Familiarity with active learning or data selection via embedding spaces (e.g., CLIP, BC/ODD classifiers).
• Experience implementing or enforcing data policy at scale (e.g., inclusion rules, scenario quotas).
• Exposure to triage systems, label QA, or human-in-the-loop curation pipelines.
• Understanding of corpus-level performance monitoring and data-to-model feedback loops.
