We believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome, regardless of race, colour, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, or disability. Our ultimate goal is to make cities for people, not cars, and we need your help to achieve this mission! About the role As Staff Engineer, Autonomous Vehicle Systems Integration, you will be the technical authority for how our autonomous driving systems connect to and operate within the vehicle. You will define the ADS-to-vehicle interface architecture, own integration requirements across OEM programs, and work directly with ADS partners to understand their systems deeply and translate that into precise vehicle-level requirements.

Comfortable operating with high ownership in a small, fast-moving team with limited process. Experience on L4 or L2+ ADAS programs is a strong plus. Experience is important, but what we really look for is technical depth, ownership mindset, and the ability to operate across organisational boundaries Why you’ll love it here:Play a direct role in shaping the future of mobility. Impact millions of customers and partners in 600+ cities across 50+ countries. Work in fast-moving autonomous teams with some of the smartest people in the world.
