Software Engineer, I - Data Engineering

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 looking for a Software Engineer who is eager to learn and grow while helping build and support Linux- and cloud-based data systems. In this role, you'll work closely with experienced engineers to contribute to AWS-based data ingestion, ETL, and storage solutions that enable analytics, simulation, and ML training across the company.

• 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 deliver 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
• 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

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)

What You'll Need to Succeed

• BS/MS Degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• Experience writing code using Python
• Practical experience with Docker and containerization
• A strong commitment to test-driven development patterns, continuous integration and delivery, and infrastructure as code
• Experience with Linux and general bash scripting
• Experience deploying, troubleshooting, monitoring and maintaining Linux systems

Bonus Points

• Strong organizational, time management, and communication skills working with a team orientation and collaborative style
• Experience developing cloud-based serverless solutions
• Experience with pandas, numpy and other Python-based data analysis libraries and tooling
• 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
• Knowledge of different database architectures, including but not limited to relational and NoSQL databases, vector stores, data warehousing and clustered, distributed data stores
