Software Engineer - Simulation Web Tools

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.

The ideal candidate will have experience building full stack web applications - everything from back-ends to web front-ends. Your job is to figure out what tools are needed to make the organization even more productive, build them, deploy them, introduce them to the team, and then go build the next one. This role will be measured by how productive our entire organization is. You straddle the line between front-end and back-end development with advanced knowledge in multiple frameworks and languages such as Typescript, React, Golang and Python, to name a few.

Job Description

In this role, you will:

• Build a clean, efficient UX experience for end users
• Build highly scalable, robust, and fault-tolerant services that support our unique rate-of-growth requirements
• Build innovative solutions using internal/external tools

Key Responsibilities

You will work in a high productivity culture that values:

• Design and business acumen: You understand requirements beyond the written word. Whether you're working on an API used by other developers, an internal tool consumed by our operation teams, or a feature used by millions of riders, your attention to details leads to a delightful user experience.
• Fast learning: We're looking for software engineers who thrive on learning new technologies and don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. You should be able to adapt easily to meet the needs of our massive growth and rapidly evolving business environment.
• Versatility: In addition to having an intimate knowledge of the whole web stack, you understand how all the pieces fit together (front-end, database, network layer, etc.) and how they impact the performance of your application.
• Passion: You feel ownership over everything you ship; you'd never call code released until you're confident it's correct. You pride yourself on efficient monitoring, strong documentation, and proper test coverage.
• Fearlessness: You think a working proof-of-concept is the best way to make a point. You strive on proving that speed and quality are not conflicting; that you can achieve both at the same time.
• Team Player: You believe that you can achieve more on a team - that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. You rely on others candid feedback for continuous improvement.
