Senior Autonomy Engineer, Data Curation

How you'll make an impact

• Build and operate pipelines that transform raw autonomy logs & media into curated datasets with strong observability and clear ownership to make curated data more broadly reusable.
• Build tooling that makes data discovery and slicing fast and self-serve for Autonomy teams. For example: media search tooling and hard mining loops with infra for auto-routing data to annotation.
• Improve dataset quality and repeatability: versioning, provenance, and automated checks.
• Apply privacy and security requirements throughout our processes (access controls, retention, redaction/anonymization).
• Build with a data-driven and impact-forward mindset with dashboards highlighting cost, dataset balance, and audit details.

What makes you a good fit

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent), with significant ownership of production systems.
• Strong proficiency in programming, demonstrable in at least one of our most frequently used languages (Python/C++).
• Hands-on experience building data pipelines for large-scale datasets (ETL/ELT, streaming or batch, orchestration).
• Experience with data modeling, schema evolution, and dataset/version management.
• Solid understanding of reliability engineering: monitoring, incident response, backfills, and operational rigor.
• Ability to work across ambiguous interfaces (data + tooling + model consumers) and drive decisions.

Nice to have

• Experience with autonomy/robotics data: flight logs, self-driving car data, sensor fusion traces, video, geospatial metadata.
• Experience with labeling workflows, annotation tooling, and labeling QA at scale.
• Familiarity with privacy concepts (PII handling, redaction, access control, audit logs).
• Experience with vector/semantic search over media or telemetry.
• Experience building hard-mining evaluation loops for ML models.

Compensation

• The annual base salary range for this position is $170,000 - 240,000.
• Equity in the form of stock options.
• Comprehensive benefits packages including group health insurance plans, paid vacation time, sick leave, holiday pay and 401K savings plan.
• Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles.
