- A well-rounded mix of product development skills (e.g. user experience, analytics, engineering depth) combined with strong product sense and exemplary execution
- Demonstrated success in an innovative, fast-paced environment, characterized by excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, a growth mindset for product exploration, and navigating ambiguity with a strong sense of independence
- Experience partnering with UX teams to ship best-in-class consumer experiences
- Strong technical foundation. The ideal candidate will have a robust understanding of the hardware and software systems underpinning our autonomous vehicles and naturally thrive working with world-class software engineers
Desirable

- Domain knowledge across the transportation, mobility, and/or autonomous vehicle industries
What the job involves
- Waymo’s Product Management Team is a mission-driven team responsible for writing and enacting first-of-their-kind playbooks to bring fully autonomous driving technology to market

- We do this by understanding the customer, the business, and the technology
- We are humble about the scope of our work, collaborative in our approach to problem-solving, and ambitious about our vision for the future
- In this hybrid role, you will report to a Senior Director of Product
- Own the roadmap for Pickup and Dropoff (PUDO) Systems - the infrastructure and APIs that operate as the ‘glue’ between the user experience, the vehicle / autonomy stack, and our servers
- Drive the development of many of our cross-stack features, such as the boarding sequence (communication between the vehicle, riders' phones, and/or the cloud), handling off-nominal scenarios, customizing our PUDO platform for goods delivery, and more
- Translate company-level objectives to team-level outcomes and build a product roadmap to achieve those outcomes, backed by data and comprehensive industry understanding
- Collaborate with UX design, UX research, and engineering to translate complex rider needs into simple, elegant product solutions
- Lead cross-functional efforts across multiple engineering teams, marketing, business, regulatory, etc. to drive product decisions from conception to launch
Our take
Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving car company, is changing the way people get around, Its robotaxis, which don't need a human driver, are already operating in cities like Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Austin. Soon, Waymo will expand to Detroit, Las Vegas, and San Diego, showing just how autonomous cars are moving from experiments to real-world transportation.
The company has already completed over 10M fully driverless rides and driven more than 100M miles. Its cars use advanced sensors and AI to navigate streets safely, while partnerships with Uber and DoorDash show that Waymo's technology works for both passengers and deliveries. And it's feeling ambitious too, hoping to offer one million trips per week by the end of 2026.
Even with competitors like Tesla and Zoox, Waymo is leading the autonomous ride-hailing market. Its cars have fewer crashes and keep passengers safer than traditional vehicles. With international plans for London and Japan, Waymo isn't just growing in the US, its setting its sights on shaping the future of transportation worldwide.
