Agile Delivery Lead

**_Leading effective agile, lean and iterative ways of working, a growing team of scrum masters and enabling effective delivery._**

We are a global leader in open autonomous vehicle software.

Our single, unifying self-driving technology platform is configurable to safely transport people and goods any time, any place and in any vehicle.

Self-driving technology is a marvel in cutting edge robotics, machine learning, augmented reality and artificial intelligence engineering and we believe it is the value we unlock because of self-driving technologies that will stand the test of time.

We operate in all four corners of the world, working with some of the biggest, most progressive organisations on the planet to unleash the benefits of autonomy, whether that’s moving people, goods, or powering industry.

Software is the beating heart of our organisation. Oxbotica enables vehicle autonomy by engineering the software that drives them, with total freedom from external infrastructure dependency. Our software brings autonomy to all vehicles, in all places at all times.

We have an agile and iterative approach to software and product development, which we are embedding as part of our operational model, and our growing team of Scrum Masters are an essential part of enabling us to develop our technology into a range of products and services.
