### 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.

- 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
