Meet the Team
Torc's Data Engineering team is a highly collaborative group focused on building secure, scalable systems that let customers work with data easily and confidently. 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.

What You'll Do
We are seeking a Software Engineer with experience in implementing and maintaining Linux and cloud-based data management solutions who is ready to extend that experience. In this role you will be working closely with other engineers on the implementation of AWS-native data ingestion, ETL, and storage solutions that power data driven analytics, simulation, and ML training across the enterprise.
  • Create robust and resilient pipelines to process massive daily volumes of data created by vehicle fleets and simulation environments
  • Build and support scalable pipelines as part of Torc's Data Factory to delivery data for ML training at scale
  • Scale Torc's data lake through a distributed storage system, data crawling and discovery
  • 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
  • Contribute to the design, architecture 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

Here's a list of some of the technologies we use to make all the above happen:
  • Managed services powered by AWS (Lambda, SFN, Batch, EventBridge, Athena, Glue)
  • Linux / Bash
  • Docker
  • Terraform
  • Python
  • React/Javascript
  • On-Call Tooling (Datadog, AWS Cloudwatch)
  • CI/CD Tooling (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
