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.

Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all.

We are searching for an exceptional Senior Engineering Manager to join the Aurora Services Engineering team and take on a critical leadership 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 the Senior Engineering Manager for the Core Cloud Services team, you will lead a team of 8-10 engineers to own the design, implementation, and operation of solutions for Autonomous Vehicle Fleet Management with some of the biggest companies in the trucking industry. You will drive both incremental features to existing products and greenfield completely new ones to make a significant impact on the way commercial fleet operations function at Aurora.

In this role, you will

  • Manage, mentor, and grow a high-performing team of 8-10 software engineers through regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development planning.
  • Design complex systems from the ground up, partnering closely with software, hardware and infrastructure engineering teams.
  • Lead the team to architect, design, and build scalable cloud backend services that power real-time and offline workflows essential for commercial operations, fleet optimization, and autonomy improvement.
  • Drive the execution and delivery of robust, well-engineered solutions, ensuring high standards of quality, reliability, and engineering practices across the team.
  • Partner with Product Managers, Designers, Autonomy, and Operations stakeholders to define & execute the technical vision and roadmap.
  • Champion the engineering team and its vision to internal & external stakeholders.
  • Foster a culture of engineering excellence, collaboration, and end-to-end ownership within the team.

Required Qualifications

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 10+ years of industry experience in software development, including 5+ years of direct experience as an Engineering Manager leading a team of 5+ engineers, with a proven track record of delivering large-scale backend systems.
  • Deep expertise in cloud backend development, including scalable web services, distributed systems, and modern API design.
  • Experience with external customer facing software including production rollout with real customers.
  • Proven experience managing and mentoring a team of engineers, including hiring, performance management, and career path development.
  • Experience working with Product Management and UI/UX Design teams to define & deliver features that impact end users at scale.
  • Phenomenal communication skills, with the capacity to influence both technical and non-technical stakeholders at all levels. 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.
  • Experience defining technical roadmaps and driving long-term strategic projects that span multiple engineering teams.
  • A preference for action. You will use good judgment to balance speed and quality. You will drive the engineering team to deliver products that are built in a responsible and sustainable way.

Desirable Qualifications

  • Experience in transportation, logistics, or other time-sensitive operations.
  • Experience with safety and mission critical applications.
  • Experience with fleet management solutions for Robots, Vehicles or Aerial Drones.
  • Experience in operations research or optimization algorithms.

The base salary range for this position is $212,000 - $340,000 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, we operate in a hybrid work environment where Aurorans are in office at least 3 days per week.
