About the Role 

As a Software Engineer II on the Build Tools team at Torc Robotics, you will serve as the automation backbone for our entire engineering organization. In this role, you will take ground-floor ownership of the tools and infrastructure that directly drive our release velocity and system reliability. 

You will be responsible for running real production infrastructure, building and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines, and writing scalable code to support the teams shipping our safety-critical autonomous vehicle (AV) software. We are looking for an engineer with strong Python skills and deep, hands-on experience with containerization and cloud architecture. 

What You'll Do 

  • Build technology solutions, analyze requirements, and seek guidance from your manager and peers on scope and objectives. 
  • Contribute to design discussions, proposing solutions and creating diagrams and design documents for clarity. 
  • Write and modify code to deliver solutions, thoroughly testing via unit and integration tests and fixing bugs to ensure quality. 
  • Collaborate with teammates to integrate your work into the larger codebase, and give/receive feedback through code review to improve quality and support continuous learning. 
  • Actively participate in team meetings, sharing progress and challenges, and seek mentorship to learn best practices. 
  • Participate in your team's on-call rotation, troubleshooting incidents, analyzing production logs, and guiding root-cause analysis (RCA). 
  • Work across team boundaries to understand how your team’s deliveries contribute to Torc’s broader product offerings. 
  • Expand documentation coverage, including runbooks, tutorials, API documentation, and user guidance. 

What You'll Need to Succeed 

  • Bachelor's degree plus 4+ years of experience; or a Masters Degree plus 0-3 years of experience. 
  • Proven ability to tackle critical challenges with minimal supervision and strong independent judgment. 
  • Proficiency in AWS core services (IAM, EC2, S3) and container orchestration platforms (Docker, Kubernetes, EKS, ECS). 
  • Fluency in an object-oriented language (Python preferred) combined with solid scripting/templating skills (Bash, Go). 
  • Hands-on background with build tools (Bazel, CMake, Maven, Gradle) and code coverage analysis (Parasoft, SonarQube, CodeQL). 
  • Intermediate competency with CI/CD tools (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab, ArgoCD) and workflow tools (Temporal, AWS Step Functions, Argo Workflows). 
  • Solid understanding of logging and monitoring ecosystems (Datadog, CloudWatch, New Relic). 

 

Bonus Points 

  • Experience with JFrog Artifactory or similar artifact/package registry platforms. 
  • Familiarity with safety-critical or embedded software practices (e.g., MISRA C static analysis, VectorCAST or similar unit-test tooling for embedded systems). 
  • Exposure to C/C++ in addition to Python.
