Description

We build the embodied intelligence that moves real vehicles safely, and the ecosystem a billion machines will run on in the future. Very few people in AI can say this. Every role here, whatever the team, plugs into that.

As a Technical Product Manager, you’ll own the roadmap for development and experimentation vehicle platforms, partnering across engineering, program management and internal teams to translate their needs into scalable capabilities.

Responsibilities

  • Own and evolve the roadmap for development and experimentation vehicle platform features.
  • Gather and prioritise requirements across engineering, program management and internal customers, translating them into clear workflows, specifications and measurable success criteria.
  • Define and track platform product KPIs, maintaining a cohesive view of current capabilities and what’s coming next.
  • Make product tradeoffs and manage stakeholder expectations across teams with competing priorities.
  • Coordinate cross-functional execution, helping teams resolve dependencies and deliver complex, interconnected capabilities.
  • Identify opportunities to improve tooling and processes so teams can debug issues, deploy experiments and access data more efficiently.

Requirements

  • You have 5+ years of experience shipping autonomy or autonomous vehicle features end-to-end, from concept through integration, validation and release.
  • You have 2+ years of hands-on experience with embedded platforms, including direct involvement in architecture, development and validation.
  • You bring strong systems thinking and can assess how platform changes affect downstream development, data, tooling and operations.
  • You have a track record of coordinating cross-functional execution across multiple teams to deliver complex, interdependent programs.
  • You’re a strong stakeholder manager who can influence decisions and challenge respectfully, from engineering teams through to leadership.
  • You thrive in fast-paced, iterative environments with evolving priorities, bringing momentum and calm without adding unnecessary process.
  • You’re resourceful, pragmatic and focused on outcomes.
  • You have a bachelor’s or master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science or a related field.

Nice to Have

  • Experience owning or scaling developer or operations tooling and processes in complex hardware-and-software environments.
  • Exposure to data feedback loops, data collection and fleet operations in autonomous vehicle contexts.
  • Experience working with external customers or partner programs, translating their needs into reusable product workflows.
  • Familiarity with automotive real-time environments, AI compute platforms and sensors.

Benefits

  • Salaries benchmarked against the market annually
  • Meaningful equity, sharing in the ownership and long term success of Wayve
  • Relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable
  • Hybrid working, core hours and the chance to work hands on in vehicle workshops and labs
  • Learning and development budgets with support for training, conferences and growth
  • Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, dental, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, retirement or pension where applicable, access to therapists, wellbeing partnerships, team socials and more
