• Own the strategy and prioritization framework for driving behavior clusters and align team roadmaps to it
• Serve as escalation point for cross-cluster trade-offs and technical ambiguity
• Hold the bar on safety-critical rigor and go/no-go release criteria before cluster releases to the live fleet
• Establish and monitor portfolio-level KPIs and readiness metrics across clusters
• Incorporate rider feedback, field operations observations and on-road incident learnings into roadmaps
• Manage cluster assignments and team capacity
• Translate cross-cluster status, risk and trade-offs into updates for engineering leadership, safety and executives
• Partner with autonomy software engineering, metrics, safety and user research leadership

Nice to have

• Experience developing robotics products or autonomous vehicle software
• Background in computer vision, perception or ML-driven systems
