## Description

Before the detail, here's the challenge you'd help us solve.



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 Robotaxi Teams

The Robotaxi team is building the capabilities that take Wayve's AI Driver from assisted to fully driver-out operation. Remote Assistance sits at the heart of this effort, the real-time bridge between the vehicle's autonomy stack and human operators that lets us safely handle the moments the AI Driver can't resolve alone. This team owns the end-to-end architecture connecting onboard vehicle systems, offboard services, and operator tooling, balancing latency, reliability, and safety at every step.



🧠 Your day-to-day

 - Own the architecture and technical roadmap for Remote Assistance across onboard integration, offboard services, and operator tooling/HMI

 - Define and drive the vehicle–operator "contract" - covering data, authority bounds, fallback/MRM behaviour, and failure handling

 - Lead cross-team execution across autonomy, safety, platform/infra, and product partners, turning architecture into deliverable workstreams

 - Set system-level quality bars for safety-critical RA operation - latency budgets, reliability targets, monitoring, replay/evidence, and incident learning loops

 - Act as the technical interface to engineering leadership and safety stakeholders, shaping how Remote Assistance feeds into Wayve's
