As a Principal Data Architect, you will be the primary visionary for our global data strategy. You will tackle the "unsolved" problems of autonomous vehicle data: how to efficiently store, index, and query petabytes of high-dimensional, multi-modal sensor data.
You will lead the transition of our data infrastructure into a state-of-the-art Open Lakehouse
architecture, leveraging Apache Iceberg
and the Hadoop
ecosystem to create a deterministic, high-performance environment for ML research and safety-critical validation.
This role would require you to work for two years in our Serbian office, with the potential of then moving to the US office.
Core Responsibilities
Required Qualifications
Preferred Skills & "Edge" Expertise
Automotive Safety Standards:
Understanding of data integrity requirements for ISO 26262
or SOTIF
(Safety of the Intended Functionality).
How this role impacts our mission
In the AV world, the company with the best data loop wins. This role is not just about moving data; it’s about creating the mathematical and structural framework
that allows our engineers to find the "needle in the haystack"—the specific sensor frame that will help us solve the next great autonomous driving challenge.

New This Week
Architectural Innovation:
Lead the R&D and design of a next-generation data lakehouse that supports the unique requirements of ADAS/AV, including 4D spatial-temporal querying and multi-modal data fusion.
Deep Optimization:
Go beyond standard implementations of Apache Iceberg
to develop custom partitioning schemes, Z-ordering, and hidden indexing strategies tailored for LiDAR, radar, and video metadata.
Theoretical Leadership:
Apply advanced research in distributed systems to solve challenges regarding data consistency, deterministic "replay" of vehicle logs, and massive-scale data lineage.
Strategic Storage R&D:
Develop novel algorithms for data deduplication and "intelligent tiering," ensuring that rare "edge-case" driving data is preserved while optimizing the cost-to-performance ratio of the petabyte-scale lake.
Cross-Functional Research:
Partner with ML Research and Simulation teams to ensure the data architecture supports emerging paradigms like Foundation Models
and End-to-End Autonomous Driving
architectures.
Technical Mentorship:
Act as a high-level consultant and mentor to the broader Data Engineering organization, fostering an environment of analytical rigor and engineering excellence.
Education:
Master's or PHD in Computer Science, Database Systems
, or a related quantitative field.
Specialized Experience:
5+ years of experience in data systems, with a significant track record of designing large-scale distributed architectures.
Iceberg & Hadoop Internals:
Deep, "under-the-hood" knowledge of Apache Iceberg
(specification and implementation) and the Hadoop ecosystem
(HDFS, Spark, Trino/Presto).
Computational Foundations:
Expert-level understanding of query optimization, file format internals (Parquet/Avro), and the trade-offs of distributed consensus protocols.
Geospatial Mastery:
Experience with H3, S2, or other spatial indexing systems for high-frequency GPS and trajectory data.
Cloud Economics:
Proven ability to manage the financial architecture of massive cloud deployments (AWS/Azure/GCP).
