Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they’re going. Since our start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has been focused on building the World’s Most Experienced Driver in hopes of improving the world's access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. Our Waymo Driver powers Waymo One, our fully autonomous ride-hailing service, as well as Waymo Via, our trucking and local delivery service. To date, Waymo has driven over 20 million miles autonomously on public roads across 25 U.S. cities and conducted over 20 billion miles of simulation testing.
Waymo takes an integrated approach to building the world’s first fully autonomous driving technology, with researchers, designers, product managers, and technical program managers working side by side.

From autonomous driving behavior to user interfaces, we work to inspire the product vision and then make it a reality.

- Evaluate driving behavior and the driving environment in a data-driven way through metrics development
- Identify datasets to learn from beyond the 20 million autonomous miles of driving Waymo has or the 15 billion simulated miles

At a minimum we’d like you to have:
- 5+ years of product management experience
- Strong analytical and statistical skills
- Experience with systems of massive scale/complexity
- Cross functional collaboration
- Strong communication skills
It’s preferred if you have:
