WayveYou’ll join a growing, new product team building a new business vertical for Wayve and our first consumer program. The product is built on top of Wayve’s end-to-end AI model, so you’ll work on applied AI, and you’ll see and feel what you ship by taking part in the ridehail service yourself. As a Technical Product Manager for Robotaxi, you’ll own the product from zero to one on our roadmap for L4, in Japan. It’s a full-stack role that combines technical, business and partnership work, spanning the rider’s experience through AI driving, software, hardware, operations, policy and partner integrations. You’ll be the voice of the Japanese rider inside Wayve, working closely with partners such as Uber and Nissan, and you’ll stay immersed in data and metrics day to day. You’ll work across Engineering, HMI, AI, Systems, Operations and external teams, and wear multiple hats. You’ll define strategy, roadmaps and product requirements with riders in mind, and own the Japan Robotaxi roadmap. You’ll lead cross-functional working groups across Engineering, HMI, AI, Systems and Operations to deliver core launches in 2026. You’ll serve as the voice of the customer, gathering and prioritising rider and partner feedback, as well as being a technical system designer. You’ll work with AI, software, hardware, policy, operations and partner teams to resolve bugs and ship features. You’ll establish launch readiness, including integration with partners, coverage of customer use cases, AI driver performance, top issues and launch risks. You’ll stay immersed in data and metrics, using them day to day to steer product decisions. You’ll work closely with partners including Uber and Nissan while staying accountable for Robotaxi product performance in Japan. You’ll operate independently from day one, identifying gaps and doing whatever is needed rather than owning one narrow feature.
