Description

About the Role

Our autonomous vehicles encounter a wide variety of real-world situations on city streets. These situations need to be identified, categorized, and described in a structured way so they can be analyzed and used to evaluate the quality of our technology.

We are looking for a Data Quality Analyst who will help us validate and analyze real-world data related to the situations our autonomous vehicles encounter every day. In this role, you will work closely with production, develop quality metrics, and ensure consistent dataset quality across multiple annotation workflows.

You will be involved in the analysis and validation cycle: understanding test cases, working with collected data, validating its quality and completeness, analyzing results, identifying behavioral issues and coverage gaps, and determining where additional testing or investigation may be needed.

This is a data-focused role. You will work primarily with already collected data, test results, and driving scenarios, using analytical tools to understand vehicle behavior and support the testing and engineering teams.

This position is ideal for someone who is detail-oriented, comfortable working with complex datasets, and motivated to enhance data quality and annotation efficiency through analytical and technical approaches.

What You'll Do

Data Analytics

  • Analyze collected data across different road scenarios;
  • Analyze individual samples of data in detail to understand what happened and which factors may have affected situation;
  • Identify edge cases and scenarios that require additional investigation;
  • Monitor quality metrics on a regular basis and investigate anomalies;
  • Analyze dataset balance and completeness across locations, scenarios, and labels;
  • Assess how new scenes contribute not just more data, but better data.

Operational Routine & Controls

  • Regularly reviewing annotation batches (including repetitive checks) to make sure they meet quality and coverage expectations;
  • Maintain simple control dashboards and reports, update them on a weekly basis, and follow up on issues;
  • Take care of many small but important operational tasks that keep the annotation process stable and predictable.

Support & Automation

  • Use Python and ClickHouse for analysis, monitoring, and process support;
  • Work closely with product and engineering teams to implement improvements;
  • Automate data validation, test-result processing, coverage analysis, and repetitive investigation workflows.

What You’ll Need

  • A degree in a relevant field (Computer Science, Quality assurance, Data Analytics, Engineering, or another technical discipline);
  • Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail — you’ll frequently review data, spot anomalies, and work through repetitive validation tasks;
  • Practical Python skills for data processing and analysis (Pandas);
  • Ability to query databases and work with analytical data stacks;
  • Readiness to handle routine and sometimes monotonous work — dataset checks, manual validations, and weekly quality reviews are a core part of the role;
  • A process-oriented mindset: ability to follow existing workflows, maintain consistency, and keep documentation and reports up to date;
  • A valid driver's license and practical driving experience.

Nice to Have

  • Experience with ClickHouse
  • Experience with QA, testing, or validation workflows;
  • Strong systems thinking, attention to quality, and a proactive mindset.
  • Experience using semi-automated labeling tools or active learning methods.

About this role

Avride's autonomous vehicles generate vast amounts of real-world driving data that must be carefully validated, categorized, and analyzed to improve the technology. As a Data Quality Analyst, you would be the bridge between raw collected data and the engineering teams that use it—responsible for ensuring datasets are complete, consistent, and actually useful. Your work would involve reviewing annotation batches, developing quality metrics, identifying edge cases and coverage gaps, and flagging behavioral issues that warrant deeper investigation or additional testing.

The role blends analytical work with operational discipline. You'll spend significant time on data validation, anomaly detection, and weekly quality reviews using Python and ClickHouse, alongside maintaining dashboards and reports. Much of this is methodical and repetitive by design; the job explicitly calls for someone comfortable with routine checks and detailed manual work. Where you can add real value is in spotting patterns others miss, automating tedious validation workflows, and helping the team understand not just how much data they have, but whether it's actually good data.

You'll need a technical degree, solid Python skills (especially Pandas), and database query experience. A valid driver's license and real driving experience are required—practical knowledge of what happens on city streets matters here. The role is in-office in Austin and calls for someone process-oriented, detail-focused, and genuinely motivated by data quality work rather than someone seeking variety or rapid career progression.
