Senior Software/Data Engineer, Autonomy (Python/Eval) Join Rivian to build and enhance our Evaluation Platform for Autonomy systems. The platform quantifies and validates performance using simulation and real vehicle data, supporting software development and over‑the‑air fleet updates. Expanding this team will improve evaluation capability and support autonomous feature launch across the fleet. Responsibilities Build reliable tooling components (Python packages, Docker images) and pipelines (GitLab CI, Databricks) used across the Autonomy team to standardize metrics and store them in a common location. Gain a deep understanding of how performance metrics are calculated, ensuring that leading/lagging metric pairs use a consistent methodology supported by automated testing. Propose, design and implement new metrics to close gaps in the evaluation process. Contribute to continuous development of tooling (e.g., Cursor and MCP servers) to increase developer velocity and integrate with Rivian systems. Collaborate closely with colleagues in California and Serbia, acting as a key technical liaison to gather requirements and drive platform adoption. Demonstrate strong organizational skills to manage multiple projects, meet deadlines and deliver high‑quality results. Support the team’s on‑call rotation for any operationally critical systems. Qualifications 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a significant focus on data engineering. Strong experience in Python for backend services, data processing and cloud tooling. Proficiency in building, testing and optimizing production‑grade data pipelines using tools such as Databricks, Spark (PySpark/Scala) and SQL. Experience implementing and managing CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI) and using Docker for containerization. Experience designing, deploying and maintaining systems using core AWS services (S3, EC2, Lambda) and understanding cloud‑native architecture. Familiarity with autonomous systems development (perception, planning, control) or relevant domains such as robotics, simulation or verification/validation. Proven ability to debug and systematically root‑cause issues.
