The Role
Design, build, and maintain Python-based services and AWS data pipelines to compute and validate autonomy performance metrics. Translate system-level safety requirements into production implementations, process telemetry and validation data, implement release validation logic, debug pipeline and telemetry issues, and contribute to workflow orchestration, code reviews, and cross-functional design.

About the Role
Torc is developing Level 4 autonomous semi-truck software to transform how freight moves across the world. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Metrics for Release (MFR) team, you will play a key role in translating business and system requirements into production-ready software that evaluates autonomy performance and supports release readiness.
This role will work across the entire MFR ecosystem, partnering with requirements and systems teams to take high-level safety and performance goals (SPI requirements) and turn them into scalable, reliable pipelines and services.
Your work will directly impact how we measure, validate, and ultimately ship autonomy safely at scale.
