Work Experience
Co-Founder & CEO
Wayve is building AV2.0—a next generation autonomous driving system that can quickly and safely adapt to new driving domains anywhere in the world. I firmly believe that large scale deployment of autonomy will only be possible with an intelligent, data-driven solution using a lean sensor and compute stack. We've raised $1.3b and are assembling a team of exceptional people to build exactly this.
We're hiring across our offices in London, Silicon Valley and Vancouver! If you have a passion for building AI and seeing the impact of it embodied in the physical world, I'd love to chat.
