The role
This is a high-impact Fullstack Engineer opportunity to build and own a new internal web application that becomes the single go-to place for teams to browse computer vision models, run them on data subsets, and explore results.
You will partner directly with internal users to shape workflows and ship an MVP quickly, then iterate based on real feedback. As the first dedicated Fullstack hire in Corpus & Enrichment, you will set the standard for maintainable, scalable UI engineering that accelerates model development and data labelling workflows across the business.
Key responsibilities:
- Lead discovery with internal stakeholders to define user workflows, UX, and requirements for Enrichment Shop
- Build, ship, and iterate the Enrichment Shop product end-to-end using React/TypeScript and established backend web frameworks
- Integrate the frontend with existing systems and APIs (including Databricks-backed workflows and internal services)
- Incorporate user feedback into delivery planning and help define lightweight expectations/SLAs for an internal tool
- Build for long-term maintainability by writing clear, testable code and enabling others to contribute and support the system
In order to set you up for success as a Senior Fullstack Engineer at Wayve, we’re looking for the following skills and experience.
Essential
- Strong JavaScript and TypeScript experience, with React as the preferred frontend direction
- Proven track record delivering a full web application, ideally owning work end-to-end in production
- Experience integrating with existing backend systems and APIs, and working effectively in an established codebase
- Able to operate independently, partnering directly with internal stakeholders and building pragmatic, maintainable, testable solutions
Desirable
- Experience with established web frameworks (for example Next.js or similar)
- Some full-stack exposure, including working close to backend services (Python/Django REST exposure a plus)
- Experience building internal tools and running a tight feedback loop with users, including setting lightweight expectations/SLAs
