Meet the Team 

Torc’s Data Engineering team is a highly collaborative group focused on building secure, scalable systems that let customers work with data easily and confidently. We operate as a distributed, remote-first team, ensuring everyone has equal access to information and collaboration. Our work includes frequent touchpoints—daily standups, planning sessions, and ad hoc discussions over Zoom or Slack.
