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. Here’s what this particular role covers. 🛠️ About our Driving Product Team The Driving team owns Wayve's core end-to-end driving model, which directly shapes how our vehicles behave on the road. We take the backbone models and build the driving heads on top, and ship them into vehicles. That makes us the team closest to production. Our work is central to Wayve's Robotaxi launches around the world, so it ties directly to our near-term commercial milestones. We iterate fast: we find the top issues we see on the road, find their root causes, and fix them through data, model and evaluation changes. We work closely with other teams to solve issues that span the model and the vehicle.   🧠 Your day-to-day - Lead a small team (up to five people) iterating on Robotaxi driving performance, balancing hands-on technical work with people leadership - Diagnose the highest-impact issues seen on the road, find their root causes and resolve them through data and model iteration - Own changes to data recipes, model architecture, evaluation and release readiness for the driving model - Partner with other teams to resolve cross-functional issues, including model and vehicle interface problems - Be one of the team's key hands-on developers, writing code and running experiments while setting the More Wayve roles: https://deviantjobs.com/companies/wayve
