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.
SAFETY ASSURANCE ANALYST
🛡️ About our Safety Team
Wayve is looking for Safety Assurance Analysts to support the ongoing monitoring and assurance of safety performance across our operations. You'll play an important role in ensuring that operational safety controls are functioning effectively, identifying emerging risks, and providing clear, evidence-based insights that support safe and reliable operations.
Working with operational safety data, you'll review Vehicle Safety Operator (VSO) driving data, incidents, interventions, model flags, Driver Monitoring System (DMS) events, operational process evidence, and other safety-relevant information to identify trends, control failures, behavioral concerns, and emerging operational risks. You will collaborate across cross-functional teams and international time zones to deliver impactful safety metrics and operational insights, providing concrete evidence of Wayve's commitment to safe operations.
This is a hands-on, analytical role requiring strong attention to detail, impartial judgement, and the ability to translate complex operational information into actionable safety insights.

A quick, honest note before you apply.
Wayve is not a mature, fully-structured place with the playbook already written. Much of how we work is still being written, and if you join, you’ll help write it. That suits people who want real ownership more than people who need a settled structure from day one.
If that sounds like the kind of problem you want to spend your time on, we’d really like to hear from you.
