We operate as a distributed, remote-first team, ensuring everyone has equal access to information and collaboration. Our work includes frequent touchpoints—daily standups, planning sessions, and ad hoc discussions over Zoom or Slack. Because we own our services end-to-end, each engineer participates in a business hour on call rotation. We prioritize healthy work/life balance and sustainable development over heroic efforts.

• Promote and protect the integrity of data through validation, versioning, data provenance, and governance
• Support the expansion of Torc’s data lake through acquisition of additional data sets from internal and external sources
• Assist in the development and delivery of cloud-based solutions
• Collaborate with teams specializing in perception, planning, control, mapping and vehicle testing to develop solutions that support product delivery
• Support the implementation of emerging cloud-based capabilities that can extend our technology stack and improve our ability to build, deploy and test safety-critical software for self-driving vehicles
• Participate in the team’s on-call rotation to support our deployed systems during business hours

• Strong proficiency writing code using Python

• A strong commitment to test-driven development patterns, continuous integration and delivery, and infrastructure as code

• Deep knowledge of AWS serverless architectures (Lambda, Batch, ECS Fargate, Glue, Athena)
• Experience with data storage and acquisition patterns for robotics and advanced driver assistance systems
