Desirable

• At Aura, we are building a digital security platform focused on making people more secure every day. We’re looking for someone to help build the services platform that will allow our development teams to thrive and scale their products
• The AP Software Engineer ​will architect and build and maintain services like authentication, billing, notifications, events and so much more
• Contributing to the code. We are all coders here, and at the end of the day writing TypeScript and Terraform is our core responsibility
• Designing new Platform features. We believe that every engineer should participate in designing and architecting the platform
• Collaborating with the team. Despite being a fully-remote team, we are very collaborative—sharing ideas, participating in code and design reviews, and helping each other through hard problems
• Keeping the lights on. Aura Platform is already a large-scale production system, and it is our responsibility to ensure that it continues to operate smoothly
• Supporting other teams. The success of the platform depends on other engineering teams at Aura using it effectively, and we strive to enable every team to do so
• Improving our core technology. The platform is built on a combination of open source, commercial, and in-house technologies that enables it to be scalable and secure. We continue to innovate on our underlying framework to be even stronger and more flexible
