Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & one of only two companies in the States operating a commercial driverless service.
We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the Bay Area, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
We’ve completed 10’s of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe

Why this role is exciting

This is a rare opportunity to build mission-critical software that directly powers real-world operations. You’ll help scale Vay’s Las Vegas service by designing and shipping end-to-end operational tools used every day by people on the ground and behind the wheel, remotely.

This role is built for engineers who want high ownership, real users, and real consequences. You’ll sit at the intersection of mobility, real-time systems, and remote driving, helping shape one of the world’s first commercial remote operations platforms.

If you’re excited by ambiguity, value impact over abstraction, and want your software to move actual cars, not just pixels, this role is for you.

What you’ll be driving

Translate complex operational workflows into reliable, user-facing software across multiple verticals, including:
Customer Support
Remote Driving Operations
Fleet Management
Design and develop end-to-end integrated solutions, combining off-the-shelf tools, low-code platforms, and custom-built software where it makes sense.
Build and maintain real-time, interactive operational dashboards, including charts, maps, and data-dense interfaces.
Design and iterate on operator-first UX, grounded in real operational processes and continuous feedback from end users.
Work closely with Operations, Customer Support, and Product to ship tools that actually get used.
Own what you build, from first commit through production and iteration.
