Staff Technical Product Manager, Robotaxi

Wayve is an AI platform company developing end-to-end learning technology for autonomous vehicles. Rather than relying on pre-mapped routes or hand-coded rules, Wayve's approach enables vehicles to learn and adapt from real-world driving experience. The company partners with global automakers to deploy this technology across different vehicle platforms, aiming to scale autonomous driving capabilities from Level 2 through Level 4 automation. Wayve operates across multiple international hubs including London, Sunnyvale, Yokohama, Herzliya, Vancouver and Leonberg.

The autonomous vehicle industry is experiencing significant growth as companies race to deploy reliable self-driving systems. Within this competitive landscape, Wayve stands out by focusing on generalisable AI that works across different vehicles and environments without requiring extensive manual mapping. The company's technical depth in embodied AI and machine learning positions it at the forefront of autonomous mobility transformation.
