Position Overview:

As a Staff Autonomy Engineer on our R&D team, you'll be one of the technical leaders setting direction for the AI that powers our robots. This is a hands-on technical leadership role: you'll architect systems that span perception, mapping, prediction, and planning; drive multi-quarter initiatives from research idea to fleet rollout; and raise the technical bar across the org. You'll work across team boundaries, partnering with engineering managers, product, and hardware to make decisions that ripple through the roadmap. You'll also be someone the team learns from — through code review, design review, mentorship, and the standards you set in your own work. We expect Staff engineers to be comfortable in deep technical waters across the modern autonomy stack: foundation models, learned policies, classical estimation and planning, and the production systems that knit them together.

Essential Job Functions:

Technical Leadership and Direction

• Set technical direction for major areas of the autonomy stack — perception, SLAM, prediction, planning, or the ML systems underneath them — and own the multi-quarter roadmaps that follow.
• Lead large, ambiguous projects end-to-end: scope the problem, pick the approach, drive execution across multiple engineers, and ship to the fleet.
• Make and defend the build-vs-borrow, learn-vs-classical, and depth-vs-breadth decisions that shape what the team works on for the next year.
• Partner with engineering managers, product, and hardware on staffing, sequencing, and risk; serve as a senior technical voice in cross-functional planning.
• Represent the team externally where useful — publications, conferences, recruiting, customer technical conversations.

Technical Excellence

• Architect and contribute to systems spanning learned perception (transformer-based detectors, VLMs for scene understanding), neural and classical SLAM (including Gaussian splatting and implicit representations where they earn their keep), behavior prediction, and motion planning.
• Drive adoption of modern learning approaches — imitation learning, diffusion policies, vision-language-action models, RL where appropriate — and integrate them with the classical components that still do real work in production.
• Build and improve the data engines and evaluation infrastructure that turn fleet logs into training data, regression suites, and shipped wins.
• Lead performance and deployment work on embedded compute: model optimization, quantization, distillation, and runtime engineering on GPU/accelerator hardware.
• Stay current with the literature and translate the parts that matter into our codebase — and recognize the larger fraction that doesn't.

Mentorship, Hiring, and Culture

• Mentor Senior and mid-level engineers; raise the bar through design review, code review, and the technical standards you model.
• Play a leading role in hiring: shape interview loops, calibrate decisions, close strong candidates, and own onboarding for new hires on the team.
• Champion engineering practices that compound — testing, observability, documentation, simulation infrastructure, developer tooling — and invest in the parts of the org that enable everyone else to ship faster.

Education and/or Work Experience Requirements:

• Master’s Degree. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Robotics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• 7+ years of industry experience in embodied AI (robotics, self-driving, drones, or similar), with at least some of that time in a senior or lead capacity.
• Deep expertise in two or more of: machine learning, SLAM and state estimation, robotic perception, motion planning.
• Strong fluency in C++ and Python in a Linux environment.
• Demonstrated history of taking research ideas into production at meaningful scale.

Required Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, and Other Characteristics:

• Deep, hands-on expertise with PyTorch (and/or JAX), modern training infrastructure, and contemporary architectures (transformers, diffusion models, VLA/foundation models).
• Extensive experience designing robotic systems with ROS 2 (or comparable middleware) and modern simulation environments such as Isaac Sim, MuJoCo, or Gazebo.
• Strong record of shipping ML-driven features to production hardware — including the post-launch reality of monitoring, debugging weird failure modes, rollback, and on-call.
• Excellent systems and architectural judgment; able to defend a position and equally able to update it when the evidence changes.
• Modern software engineering fundamentals: CI/CD, code review culture, observability, and iterative delivery.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — design docs that set direction, talks that bring people along, and code that other engineers want to read.
• Bonus: experience with on-device acceleration (TensorRT, ONNX, custom CUDA kernels), large-scale data infra, or leading distributed teams.
• Bonus:Track record of research impact (publications at venues like CoRL, RSS, ICRA, NeurIPS, CVPR, ICML — or open-source equivalents) and of converting research into product.

The Role

As Staff Data Engineer, you will provide senior onshore technical leadership for the data engineering team. You will own a defined slice of our centralized Databricks data platform with full accountability for decisions and delivery, serve as a technical counterpart to the Principal Data Platform Engineer, and drive architectural judgment and independent problem-solving as platform complexity scales post-migration.

This is a hands-on data engineering role focused on building and maintaining production pipelines, exercising architectural judgment on data modeling and pipeline design, and serving as the onshore escalation point and institutional knowledge backup for platform decisions.

The Business Challenge

We operate multiple product lines (Transfer Pricing, R&D Services, RoyaltyStat, Provisioning), each with distinct databases containing enterprise financial data—journal entries, general ledgers, and financial statements. Our immediate challenge is migrating multi-terabyte datasets from legacy systems to a unified Databricks lakehouse while establishing governance patterns that enable multi-product operations at scale. As the platform matures, the data engineering team needs senior onshore technical presence to drive architecture ownership and maintain platform quality.

What You'll Build

• Production Data Pipelines: Build and maintain production data pipelines within the patterns and governance established by the Lead Data Platform Engineer, ensuring reliability and performance at multi-terabyte scale.
• Data Modeling & Architecture: Exercise architectural judgment on data modeling, pipeline design, and platform usage—translating complex business requirements into scalable data solutions across our product portfolio.
• Stakeholder Engagement: Engage proactively with product and engineering stakeholders to translate requirements into data solutions, serving as the primary onshore technical point of contact for data engineering needs.
• Platform Quality: Drive platform quality through code reviews, testing practices, and engineering standards that ensure the team delivers reliable, maintainable data infrastructure.
• Knowledge & Continuity: Serve as onshore escalation point and institutional knowledge backup for platform decisions, reducing single-point-of-failure risk and building onshore technical depth as the platform scales.

Business Problems You'll Solve

• Multi-Product Data Delivery: Implement data pipelines that serve multiple product lines (Transfer Pricing, R&D Services, RoyaltyStat, Provisioning) with distinct data requirements, ensuring each product gets the data it needs reliably and on schedule.
• Legacy Migration Execution: Lead pipeline implementation for migrating multi-terabyte datasets from legacy systems to Databricks, working within the architecture defined by the Lead Data Platform Engineer.
• Onshore Technical Leadership: Provide the senior judgment layer the current nearshore team cannot—owning problems end-to-end, making independent architectural decisions, and mentoring engineers to raise the quality bar across the team.
• Cross-Team Coordination: Bridge the gap between product teams and data infrastructure, translating business requirements into data solutions and ensuring the data platform delivers on product commitments.

Required Experience

Core Data Engineering

• SQL, Python, and PySpark—production pipeline implementation and performance optimization
• Databricks experience—Delta Lake, Workflows, and Databricks SQL; Unity Catalog familiarity preferred
• 5+ years in data engineering with demonstrated ability to own problems end-to-end without close direction
• Experience building and maintaining ETL/ELT pipelines at scale, including error handling, monitoring, and data quality validation

About Us

At Exactera, a FinTech SaaS start-up founded in 2016, we stand at the intersection of human and machine intelligence. Our corporate tax solutions are powered by AI and cloud-based technologies, serving customers worldwide. We are committed to diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities for all.

POSITION SUMMARY:

We are looking for a staff full-stack engineer whose core strength is backend systems and infrastructure. You will own the platform that ingests, processes, stores, and serves large volumes of video and sensor data. The primary data sources are edge/IoT devices operating in the field. You need to understand how to design systems that work reliably under those conditions.

You care about reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency, and you are comfortable making architectural decisions early when requirements are still evolving. Privacy and security engineering is a first-class concern for this product, and you will own that infrastructure. If you have ML engineering experience, there are opportunities to apply it — but it is not required.

This is a small, early-stage team. You will design systems from scratch, make foundational architecture choices, and own entire subsystems end-to-end

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• Device-to-cloud data platform: the systems that receive data from edge devices in the field, process it, store it efficiently, and make it queryable. This includes handling store-and-forward uploads, media pipelines, metadata indexing, tiered storage, and APIs that serve rich content to frontend experiences.
• Privacy and security infrastructure: access control, audit logging, configurable data retention and recording policies, consent management. Privacy is a day-one architectural requirement, not a feature bolted on later.
• Cloud infrastructure and DevOps: provisioning, CI/CD, monitoring, alerting, cost management. You own the operational health of the platform.
• API design and backend services: data modeling, auth, multi-tenancy, and integration points for enterprise systems.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, with depth in backend systems, data infrastructure, or media platforms.
• Experience building systems that handle large-scale data: ingestion pipelines, transcoding, storage, indexing, or streaming.
• Experience with IoT or edge device data — store-and-forward, intermittent connectivity, device fleet management — is a strong differentiator.
• Strong infrastructure skills: AWS (S3, Lambda, EC2, SQS, DynamoDB), CI/CD, monitoring, cost optimization.
• Experience with data modeling, search and indexing, and building APIs that serve rich content.
• Privacy and security engineering experience is a strong plus: access control, audit logging, policy enforcement, compliance.
• Willingness to work across the stack wherever the team needs you. This is a small team — you will wear multiple hats.
• ML engineering experience (on-device inference, model quantization) is a bonus but not required.

EDUCATION:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field

Compensation Package_Perks of being a Netradyne employee: 

• Salary + eligibility for yearly bonus  
• Company equity
• Company Paid Health Care, Dental, and Vision Coverage for you and most of your dependents
• Generous PTO and Sick Leave
• 401(K) with generous company match
• Disability, Life Insurance and Ancillary Benefits
• And much more!
