As a Senior Staff Software Engineer, you will set the architectural vision for some of Aurora’s most mission-critical systems. You will lead multi-team initiatives, define long-term technical strategies, and architect platforms that unlock the next generation of autonomous fleet capabilities. Your work will shape not just individual systems but the broader engineering ecosystem across Aurora. In this role, you will: Own the vision, architecture, and technical strategy for foundational backend systems that support real-time fleet operations, autonomy feedback loops, and Aurora’s growing partner ecosystem. Lead and drive cross-organizational technical initiatives, establishing architectural standards and building platforms that scale efficiently as our commercial deployment accelerates. Architect high-throughput services, event-driven systems, and large-scale data ingestion and processing pipelines that underpin autonomy insights, operational intelligence, and system-wide observability. Influence technical planning and strategic direction by partnering with engineering leadership, Product, Autonomy, Cloud Infrastructure, and Operations. Serve as a technical force multiplier: mentoring senior engineers, elevating engineering rigor, and cultivating a culture of excellence, clarity, and impact.
