Software Engineer, I - Metrics for Release Platform
About The Position
Torc is developing Level 4 autonomous semi-truck software to transform how freight moves across the world. As a Software Engineer I on the Metrics & Release team, you will contribute to the cloud-based infrastructure that evaluates system performance and ensures software updates meet safety and reliability standards before deployment. This team owns the safety metrics, KPIs, and automated evaluation pipelines that enable scalable, production-grade autonomy. In this role, you will help build and maintain the systems that process vehicle telemetry and validation data, turning raw truck data into measurable signals used to evaluate system readiness. You will work closely with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to support the development of metrics, validation workflows, and data pipelines that help ensure the safety and reliability of Torc’s autonomous driving platform.
