HQ: London, United Kingdom • Machine Learning • Autonomous Driving • 501-1000 employees • Est. 2017 • Startup • Hiring 175, 11 new
Wayve is a British autonomous driving company founded in Cambridge in 2017 that trains end-to-end neural networks to drive rather than assembling hand-written rules around high-definition maps. Its AI Driver learns from camera video and can be deployed on standard vehicle sensor sets, which is what lets the company demonstrate driving in cities it has never mapped. Headquartered in London and backed by a one billion dollar SoftBank-led round plus investment from NVIDIA, Microsoft and Uber, it partners with carmakers to ship assisted driving software and is developing fully driverless deployments.

Which roles count as backend developer jobs?

Every role whose work is the server side of software - backend, API, platform and full stack developers, staff engineers and technical leads - at any employer. A role is filed under a language when its title names one (Java, Python, .NET, Go, Node.js, PHP, C++, Ruby, Rust); a "Software Engineer" that names none is a backend engineer's.
