That’s totally okay! If you’re passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet every requirement.
Benefits
• 💰 Salaries benchmarked against the market annually • 📈 Meaningful equity, sharing in the ownership and long term success of Wayve • ✈️ Relocation support and visa sponsorship where applicable • ✅ Hybrid working, core hours and the chance to work hands on in vehicle workshops and labs • 📚 Learning and development budgets with support for training, conferences and growth • 🩺 Comprehensive benefits including health insurance, dental, enhanced maternity and paternity leave, retirement or pension where applicable, access to therapists, wellbeing partnerships, team socials and more • 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.
