What we are looking for

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.

We're searching for a Staff Security Platform Engineer to join our Enterprise Security Engineering team, reporting to the Technical Lead Manager of Security Engineering.

Aurora is scaling its autonomous trucking operations, and we need someone who makes our security tools actually work, not just deployed, but deeply configured, continuously tuned, and fully leveraged. This role is for the practitioner who has spent their career living inside security platforms: the person who knows their EDR better than the vendor's own support team, who can write a SIEM query from memory, and who instinctively knows when an alert is misfiring and exactly why.

This is not a software engineering role. It's a role for an elite security operator — someone with the instincts of a seasoned SOC analyst and the technical depth to own the platforms that power detection, response, and protection at enterprise scale. If you find deep satisfaction in mastering a tool, closing a coverage gap, or hunting down a threat that nobody else noticed, this role was written for you.

In this role you will

• Own the operational health, configuration, and continuous improvement of Aurora's enterprise security platform stack — including EDR/XDR, MDM, SIEM, DLP, IAM/IGA, DNS security, Email security, and PKI — ensuring each tool is tuned, policy-complete, and delivering reliable signal.
• Develop and refine detection rules, correlation logic, and alert policies, reducing noise while ensuring Aurora maintains high-fidelity coverage against real threats.
• Conduct proactive threat hunting across Aurora's security telemetry — forming hypotheses, querying logs, and investigating anomalies before they surface as incidents.
• Serve as the deepest internal expert on Aurora's enterprise security tooling, acting as the escalation point for complex platform issues, misconfigurations, and detection failures.
• Participate in the team's on-call rotation, leading deep-dive investigations into security alerts and incidents and driving triage, containment, and root cause analysis.
• Continuously audit and validate that existing security controls are configured to actually do what they're supposed to do — not just deployed and forgotten.
• Maintain operational runbooks, detection documentation, and platform configuration records, ensuring the team can operate consistently and scale institutional knowledge.

Required qualifications

• 12+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise security operations, security platform administration, or a senior SOC engineering role — with a career built on deep operational ownership of security tooling rather than software development.
• Expert-level proficiency administering and operating at least two enterprise security platforms (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Splunk, Panther, Sentinel, Jamf, Kandji/Iru, Puppet, WorkspaceONE, Intune, Zscaler, Okta, Proofpoint, Wiz, osquery), with strong working knowledge across several others.
• Demonstrated ability to tune and optimize security platforms beyond out-of-the-box configurations — writing custom detection logic, adjusting policy sets, and validating control effectiveness.
• Strong log analysis and threat hunting skills: you know how to build a hypothesis, write the query, follow the thread, and know when to escalate.
• Experience conducting thorough incident investigations — triage, containment, root cause analysis, and post-incident review — and communicating findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Ability to assess security control effectiveness: not just "is this tool deployed" but "is it configured correctly, covering the right scope, and generating actionable signal."
• Comfort working under pressure in ambiguous, fast-moving situations with competing priorities.

Desirable qualifications

• Scripting ability for automation, log parsing, or workflow improvement (Python, Bash, or similar) — you don't need to be a software engineer, but you can write a script when it saves you an hour.
• Deep familiarity with MITRE ATT&CK as an operational tool for detection gap analysis and threat hunting hypothesis development.
• Experience with AWS security telemetry (CloudTrail, GuardDuty, Security Hub) and integrating cloud signals into a corporate SIEM.
• Familiarity with Zero Trust and identity-centric security models as they apply to policy enforcement in IAM and endpoint platforms.
• Platform-specific certifications such as CrowdStrike Certified Falcon Administrator, Splunk Core Certified Power User, or equivalent — or practitioner certifications like GCIH, GCIA, GCFE, or GCFA.

The base salary range for this position is $171,000 - $247,000 per Year. Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future. The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.

We're searching for a Staff Security Engineer to join our Enterprise Security Engineering team, reporting to the Technical Lead Manager of Security Engineering.

Aurora is scaling its autonomous trucking operations, and the security foundations protecting our employees, devices, internal systems, and data need to scale with us. We're looking for a deeply technical enterprise security engineer who is as comfortable in a code editor as in a security console — you build the systems that make Aurora's security operations possible. This is a role for someone who can architect robust enterprise security solutions, write the code to implement them, and partner across Engineering and IT to make sure security is embedded from the start, not bolted on at the end.

This is not a security operations-only role. It sits squarely in enterprise security engineering, where the work is designing, building, and owning the platforms, integrations, and automation that power Aurora's internal security posture at scale.

In this role you will

• Own the architecture and implementation of Aurora's enterprise security controls — designing the systems and integrations that protect Aurora's endpoints, identities, internal infrastructure, and SaaS environment.
• Design and build Aurora's security telemetry and detection infrastructure, including log pipelines, SIEM integrations, and alerting frameworks — in partnership with the Security Operations Engineer who owns ongoing tuning and rule development.
• Define and enforce enterprise security standards, conducting architecture and design reviews to ensure alignment with Aurora's security posture and risk tolerance.
• Partner with IT, Infrastructure, and Engineering teams to embed security requirements early — shifting left on corporate IT initiatives before they become technical debt.
• Build automation and tooling that extends the capabilities of Aurora's security platforms, reduces manual operational burden, and scales the team's impact.
• Serve as the escalation point for enterprise security incidents requiring engineering-level investigation or remediation, and participate in the team's on-call rotation.
• Translate security strategy into concrete, executable engineering projects with clear milestones and measurable outcomes.

Required qualifications

• 12+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise security engineering or corporate information security — specifically securing employee-facing systems, endpoints, identities, and internal infrastructure (not product or application security).
• Proficiency in at least one programming language, used in a security context — writing production-quality automation, integrations, or internal tooling (the team primarily uses Go; Python is also common).
• Experience architecting and integrating enterprise security platforms — designing API integrations, automating workflows, and building tooling that extends platform capabilities across domains such as EDR/XDR, MDM, IAM/IGA, DLP, SaaS security, cloud security, or PKI.
• Experience designing and building security telemetry pipelines and detection infrastructure — log ingestion, normalization, SIEM integration, and alerting architecture.
• Experience leading cross-functional security engineering projects — defining scope, driving execution, and aligning stakeholders across Engineering and IT.
• Track record of conducting security architecture reviews and translating findings into actionable, risk-prioritized remediation plans.
• Experience evaluating security posture and identifying systemic gaps, with a bias toward building durable solutions rather than one-off fixes.

Desirable qualifications

• Experience with Zero Trust architecture and identity-centric security models (BeyondCorp-style or similar).
• Familiarity with NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, and CIS Benchmarks as engineering inputs — used to inform what to build and how to validate it, not just as compliance checkboxes.
• Hands-on AWS security experience (SCPs, GuardDuty, Security Hub, IAM, etc.) and familiarity with integrating cloud security signals into a corporate security platform.
• Experience with applied cryptography and PKI in a production enterprise environment — certificate lifecycle management, CA design, or secrets management.
• Familiarity with securing AI/ML platforms or applications built on LLMs, RAG pipelines, or MCP-based architectures.
• Security certifications such as CISSP, GCED, GREM, or similar (valued but not required).

The base salary range for this position is $171,000 - $247,000 per Year. Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions.
