Job description

Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are excited about building the future of transportation that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient & accessible for all. We are searching for an exceptional Senior-level Backend Software Engineer to join the Aurora Services Engineering team and take on a critical role in building Aurora's suite of fleet management tools.

The Aurora Services Engineering team creates full-stack solutions including backend services, web apps, mobile apps, and real-time onboard code that enable commercial operation of autonomous vehicle fleets at scale. Our mission is to build the software that drives the commercial side of our platform such as assigning work to autonomous vehicles, providing remote support, managing a fleet of vehicles, and receiving orders from customers. As Aurora prepares to massively scale its fleet and integrate with partners on an API level, the tools we build are critical to the efficient daily operation of our business.

As a Senior Backend Software Engineer you will join a team which builds solutions for autonomous vehicle fleet management and integrating logistics workflows between Aurora’s operations team and its largest customers. You will add new features to existing products and greenfield completely new ones. Your contributions will have a significant impact on the way commercial fleet operations function at Aurora.

In this role, you will

  • Design complex systems from the ground up, working closely with software, hardware, and infrastructure engineering teams along with other stakeholder teams within Aurora.
  • Embrace AI tools to add new features which delight our users, along with improving frontend, backend, and onboard engineering efficiency.
  • Build backend services running in Aurora’s AWS cloud used to monitor and manage the location and activity of our entire autonomous fleet.
  • Establish technology and infrastructure to scale our products with high availability and reliability.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders including Security, Product, Design, Safety, and Cloud Platform to achieve company milestones.
  • Send suggestions and receive updates from vehicles in real time in order to ensure the safe operation of Aurora’s autonomous fleet.
  • Contribute to and evolve our team culture around mentorship, feedback, collaboration, and engineering excellence.

You will be a good fit if you have

  • Phenomenal communication skills. We build software with people and for people. You know how to write an effective technical spec, provide feedback to others, translate technical concepts into lay terms, and incorporate feedback into your efforts. You value and practice openness, empathy, kindness, and collaboration.
  • A preference for action. You will use good judgment to balance speed and quality. You will deliver products that are built in a responsible and sustainable way. You will use a self-starter mentality to thrive in a growing environment where all hands are on deck, and consider no obstacle too big or too small. You will notice where there is a need and will hustle to fill it.
  • The drive to make teams stronger. You're excited to work hard and fast to the finish line on new opportunities with a collaborative and integrated team. You will be proactive in engaging conflict with openness, patience and kindness in an environment where it is safe to lean on each other and learn from failures.
  • Motivation to own the product lifecycle end to end. You’re happy to engage with our product and design teams and our internal customers to understand their needs and find ways to meet them. You ensure that product development stays on course all the way through release and post-release support.
  • Strong backend service engineering skills. We use modern technologies to build our products including Golang, Python, C++, gRPC, Kubernetes, and AWS. We’re happy to help you learn and adapt to our stack.
  • Experience working with databases and caches such as Postgres and Redis.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Computer Science or a related field.
  • 5 or more years of industry experience.
  • Desirable experience

  • Experience taking a SaaS development project into production at scale.
  • Experience building gRPC services using Golang.
  • Experience with IoT devices and Over-the-Air communication.
  • Experience with Kubernetes, including service configuration, monitoring and deployment.
  • Experience with cloud environments such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
  • Experience with fleet management solutions for robots, vehicles, or aerial drones.
  • Experience with external customer facing software including production rollout with real customers.
  • The base range for this position is $162,000 - $260,000.  Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.
