Role & Impact
As one of Aurora's earliest senior engineers, you'll shape the architecture, reliability, and evolution of our platform. You'll manage dev/staging/prod environments, write production code, fix bugs, and design resilient systems powering natural-language cloud automation. You'll work directly with the founders to engineer AI-driven cloud orchestration systems, bridging cutting-edge research with production-grade infrastructure.
This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of deep technical execution and guiding engineering direction.

What You'll Do

Manage and harden development, staging, and production environments. Write robust software to ship new product features and maintain high-quality code. Debug and fix complex bugs across distributed systems. Architect reliable and scalable cloud-native systems, ensuring security and performance. Engineer AI-based orchestration pipelines for cloud automation and infrastructure-as-code. Collaborate with founders on product direction and technical strategy.
You Have

3+ years experience in software engineering, with strong exposure to infrastructure/platform/SRE. Proficiency in cloud engineering across AWS, GCP, and/or Azure. Deep expertise in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, Ansible). Advanced understanding of Kubernetes (controllers, operators, cluster internals). Strong coding ability in Go, Rust, or Python with solid systems fundamentals (distributed systems, networking, concurrency). Hands-on with policy-as-code (OPA/Rego or similar). Experience designing, deploying, and operating production-grade cloud systems. A mindset that balances hands-on execution with guiding engineering best practices.
Nice to Have

Experience building or scaling AI/ML-powered systems. Contributions to OSS (Terraform, Kubernetes, Pulumi, CNCF projects). Familiarity with service mesh, eBPF, or advanced cloud security practices. Background in multi-cloud cost optimization, observability, or supply-chain security.
