WayveOur DevOps team owns two main areas: cloud infrastructure, including Kubernetes, networking, security and the Coder development environment, and build infrastructure across GitHub, Bazel, Buildkite, testing and related developer tooling. The two engineers we’re hiring will be the start of our local DevOps presence in Japan, part of a follow-the-sun support model with our UK and US teams. As a Staff Platform Engineer, you’ll help build, operate and improve the cloud platforms, build systems and continuous integration and delivery infrastructure that support Wayve’s software development lifecycle. Working as part of a global team, you’ll create reliable, scalable, secure and efficient environments for software development, testing, deployment and release. As one of the first two DevOps engineers in Japan, you’ll combine hands-on project work with local coverage for Wayve’s global developer-support model during normal Japan working hours. You’ll build, operate and improve cloud infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines and build systems that support development, testing and production, primarily in Azure. You’ll develop and maintain Infrastructure-as-Code, automation and developer tooling for reliable, repeatable delivery; operate and scale CI/CD services, including build agents, runners, artifact storage, distributed execution, caching and containerised workloads; implement observability, monitor system health, and troubleshoot infrastructure, pipeline, build and deployment issues; optimise cloud systems for performance, reliability, security and cost efficiency; work with engineering teams across Japan, the UK and the US to ensure platforms meet application needs and support scalable software delivery; and contribute to the DevOps support channel, incident response and root cause analysis, reducing manual operations through automation.
