Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states.

The Driver Understanding Software Quality & Experiences Operations team (DUSQE Ops) is at the heart of ensuring the safety, reliability, and quality of the Waymo Driver.

You have:

• Bachelor's degree in technical, or business discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• 10+ years of experience and proven ability to manage complex technical programs / tech-enabled operations, and work across cross-functional  partners to drive outcomes.
• 5+ years of people management experience.
• Ability to translate operational constraints into technical requirements, quickly master new tools and technologies, and implement new concepts to resolve technical and operational roadblocks.
• Proficiency in SQL and dashboarding (e.g., PLX/Looker), with the ability to navigate complex database schemas to inform decisions and drive automated reporting.
• Ability to thrive in a high ambiguity, dynamic environment.

We prefer:

• Experience working with fast-paced emerging technologies. Experience in AV / AI / Data Operations is a plus.
• Strong consulting and analytical skills; with ability to look at complex problems from multiple angles, be a thought leader and a systems thinker.
• Experience establishing standardized governance, processes, and tools for PMO / Center of Excellence (CoE).

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• The listing mentions a remote or flexible location. Confirm with the employer whether remote work applies to your state: taxes, licensing and benefits can depend on where you live.
