## About the role

The Data Platform Engineer owns the autonomy data pipeline end to end: recovering flight data from vehicles in the field, landing it in the cloud, and making it searchable and replayable at scale. This is a greenfield role. You will stand up the storage, catalog, and query infrastructure that every autonomy test, simulation run, and machine learning dataset at Neros depends on, and you will own its architecture, operating cost, and compliance posture. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Build the path that brings flight data back from the field, including triggered capture on the vehicle, prioritized upload so the highest-value flights return first, and resumable transfer with integrity verification
- Turn raw logs into a usable corpus: decode, time-align multi-sensor and video streams, validate, and quarantine malformed data before it reaches downstream users
- Design the catalog and tag model that index the corpus, and stand up the cloud storage and database that hold it
- Build the query layer so an engineer can retrieve every flight matching a condition, for example loss of target lock at terminal stage under high glare within the last 90 days, and get playable video back in seconds
- Serve logs to the evaluation harness with stable ordering, exact time alignment, and reproducible results across runs, so a regression job can run over thousands of flights at once
- Build versioned, immutable datasets from catalog queries, with lineage recorded so any model training set can be rebuilt exactly months later
