Senior Cloud Security Engineer

Aurora Overview

Bringing self-driving vehicles to our roads is the most transformative opportunity of our generation. Aurora is taking a fresh start with the development of self-driving technology, combining excellence in AI, rigorous engineering, and a team with decades of experience building robots that work.

Led by a team of seasoned experts, our mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. We are designing the software and hardware to power the transportation of our future that will make our roads safer, give more people access to mobility, and reduce congestion and pollution in cities - improving the quality of life for all. The challenge in what we are endeavoring to achieve is transcendent; we are developing perhaps the world's most complex computing system and asking it to perform the task of transporting and keeping safe our most precious asset: human life.

Aurora hires people who are excited to build the future of transportation.

Role

Aurora's Cloud Security team's mission is to design and build security into the services running in the AWS environment of Aurora and into how things outside of that environment communicate with it.

Job level is negotiable based on experience. Remote work is approved for US-based employees, including for post-pandemic.

Responsibilities

• Secure the CI/CD pipelines in AWS

Desirable

• Experience writing and reviewing Terraform
• Experience with OPA (Open Policy Agent)
• Experience with Ambassador, Istio and service mesh
• Experience managing identities backed by Okta or similar
• Experience with IAM, machine to machine identity
• Experience with Oauth2, OIDC, or SAML
• Experience with at least one scripting language, Python or Go

Working at Aurora

Our work has real purpose. Delivering the benefits of self-driving will save lives around the world, expand access to transportation, revitalize cities, and give people time back every day.

We're one team. We're inspired by the challenge of what we're solving and the impact our work will have on society. Our camaraderie is built on respect for our work and the fundamental belief our success will be a result of working together.

The Founding Team

Aurora has assembled the most experienced leadership team in the space. Chris Urmson helped lead Carnegie Mellon's efforts in Darpa's Grand Challenges, then was a founding member of Google's self-driving team. Sterling Anderson worked on the tech at MIT before leading Tesla's Autopilot system. Drew Bagnell, also a Carnegie Mellon alum, is a machine learning expert who helped build Uber's autonomy effort. At Aurora, these three continue to bring experts from all areas of the industry to the team. We are funded by Amazon, T Rowe Price, and some of Silicon Valley's best venture capital firms, including Sequoia, Greylock and Index Ventures.
