Tech Lead - Remote Assist, Robotaxi

Wayve, London, United Kingdom

The role

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.

What you will do

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 evolving L4 safety case

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.

At Wayve we're committed to creating a diverse, fair and respectful culture that is inclusive of everyone based on their unique skills and perspectives, and regardless of sex, race, religion or belief, ethnic or national origin, disability, age, citizenship, marital, domestic or civil partnership status, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, pregnancy or related condition (including breastfeeding) or any other basis as protected by applicable law.

DISCLAIMER: We will not ask about marriage or pregnancy, care responsibilities or disabilities in any of our job adverts or interviews. However, we do look to capture information about care responsibilities, and disabilities among other diversity information as part of an optional DEI Monitoring form to help us identify areas of improvement in our hiring process and ensure that the process is inclusive and non-discriminatory.
