The posting, as Wayve wrote it
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 Platform Product Teams
Wayve’s development and experimentation vehicle platforms bring software, hardware and operations together to make rapid iteration possible. These platforms enable our teams to run experiments, collect data and deploy new capabilities faster and more reliably.
As a Technical Product Manager, you’ll own the roadmap for these platforms, partnering across engineering, program management and internal teams to translate their needs into scalable capabilities. Where relevant, you’ll also support customer programs, ensuring platform capabilities can be reused rather than rebuilt for each deployment.
This is a hands-on, high-trust role where you’ll make meaningful product tradeoffs, balance competing priorities and help build platforms that accelerate Wayve’s development.
🧠 Your day-to-day
- 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.
🧩 What you’ll be working on
- Development and experimentation platforms: Shape the capabilities that enable faster experiments, data collection and deployments across Wayve.
- Scalable platform capabilities: Drive reuse across reference vehicles and customer programs, reducing one-off configurations and building for scale.
- Developer and operational workflows: Improve the tools and processes that connect software, hardware and operations, reducing friction and time-to-debug.
- Platform performance and priorities: Establish meaningful KPIs and use them to guide roadmap decisions, balancing capability, reliability and delivery needs.
- Consistent internal and customer experiences: Improve alignment between internal development environments and customer-operated workflows, making capabilities easier to adopt and support.

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.
