Aurora

Who We Are

Aurora’s mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly.

The Aurora Driver will create a new era in mobility and logistics, one that will bring a safer, more efficient, and more accessible future to everyone.

At Aurora, you will tackle massively complex problems alongside other passionate, intelligent individuals, growing as an expert while expanding your knowledge. For the latest news from Aurora, visit aurora.tech or follow us on LinkedIn.

What We Are Looking For

We’re searching for a Staff Software Engineer to join our Aurora Services team. The Aurora Services team sits at the core of Aurora’s mission to scale safe autonomous driving. We build systems that synthesize data across our ecosystem—from vehicles, operators, and external sources—to power real-time self-driving capabilities and operational excellence across our entire fleet.

In this role you will

  • Architect and drive strategic initiatives to build scalable full-stack web services that power real-time and offline data flows essential for fleet optimization, autonomy improvement, and commercial operations.
  • Provide technical leadership and influence best practices across multiple teams, guiding the design, development, and deployment of complex systems at the intersection of web services and real-world autonomy.
  • Develop and deploy robust, well-engineered solutions, leveraging modern frontend frameworks and building highly available, low-latency backend services, APIs, and data pipelines.
  • Mentor and grow senior engineers, raising the technical bar for the entire organization through code reviews, design discussions, and promoting a culture of engineering excellence.
  • Partner with leaders across autonomy, cloud infrastructure, and operations to define technical roadmaps, align on priorities, and drive complex projects from inception to completion.
  • Translate complex operational data and autonomy metrics into actionable insights through scalable operator-facing tools and powerful APIs, directly improving our efficiency and product.

Required Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8+ years of industry experience in software development, with a proven track record of designing, building, and operating large-scale full-stack systems.
  • Deep expertise in both front-end and back-end development, including scalable web services, distributed systems, and modern API design.
  • Demonstrated experience in a leadership role, driving technical strategy, influencing architectural decisions, and mentoring senior engineers.
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively partner with cross-functional teams and present technical solutions to a diverse audience.
  • Proficiency with cloud infrastructure and DevOps practices (e.g., AWS, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and monitoring/alerting systems).

Desirable Qualifications

  • Experience defining technical roadmaps and driving long-term strategic projects that span multiple engineering teams.
  • Prior experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or real-time distributed fleet systems.
  • Deep understanding of data modeling, data pipelines, and integrating third-party data sources into production systems.

For roles based in Mountain View, CA: The salary range for this position is $189,000 - $303,000 per year. For roles based in Pittsburgh, PA: The salary range for this position is $171,000 - $273,000 per year.

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.

Working at Aurora

At Aurora, we bring together extraordinarily talented and experienced people united by the strength of our values. We operate with integrity, set outrageous goals, and build a culture where we win together — all without any jerks.

We believe in-person work increases collaboration, empathy, and our ability to lead effectively. As a result, Aurorans are expected to work from the office at least 3 days per week, with some roles requiring more frequent in-office presence, up to 5 days per week, based on operational needs.

Our Careers page provides insight into what it is like to work at Aurora, and you can find all the latest updates in our Newsroom.

Our commitment to safety

At the core of everything we do is our commitment to safety. Building best-in-class self-driving technology will take time, and we believe that each employee at Aurora has a role in contributing to safety, every step of the way. Aurora expects commitment to our safety policies from every employee, and seeks candidates who take an active responsibility, can contribute to building an atmosphere of trust, and invest in the organization’s long-term success by prioritizing working safely, no matter what.
