Cruise is building the world’s most advanced self-driving vehicles to safely connect people with the places, things, and experiences they care about. Since our 2013 founding in San Francisco, we have hired over 1,600 talented individuals and opened additional offices in greater Seattle, Pasadena, Phoenix and Munich. We have raised $10B from General Motors, Honda, Microsoft, SoftBank, T. Rowe Price, Walmart and others. Through our partnerships with General Motors and Honda, we are the only self-driving company with fully integrated manufacturing at scale, building all-electric, zero-emission, self-driving vehicles that will help save lives, reimagine cities, reduce carbon pollution, redefine time in transit, and restore freedom of movement for individuals who live in dense urban settings. Together, we believe our world-class partners, deep resources, and technology approach of testing in a complex urban environment will help shave years off of our timeline to launch all-electric, self-driving vehicles at scale. If you are looking to play a part in making a positive impact in the world by advancing the revolutionary work of self-driving vehicles, join us. getcruise.com/careers.
