Aurora’s mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly.
The Aurora Driver will create a new era in mobility and logistics, one that will bring a safer, more efficient, and more accessible future to everyone.
At Aurora, you will tackle massively complex problems alongside other passionate, intelligent individuals, growing as an expert while expanding your knowledge. For the latest news from Aurora, visit aurora.tech or follow us on LinkedIn .
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.
Who We Are
Aurora's mission is to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. Delivering on that mission depends on the internal teams that keep Aurorans productive, secure and supported – and IT Operations is the backbone of that effort, from service desk support to process/platform engineering to the automation that connects it all.
We're searching for an Automation Engineer II to join our IT Operations team. This role builds the automation pipelines that turn manual, repetitive IT work into permanent, auditable, scalable solutions, from employee/contractor lifecycle automation and identity integrations to the intelligence behind our Slack-based support bot that can resolve user-submitted issues directly in-thread.
In this role, you will
Build automation for employee and contractor onboarding and offboarding workflows, creating repeatable, auditable processes that reduce manual touchpoints
Build the response and task-execution logic for Aurora’s Slack-based IT support bot, interpreting user-submitted issues and triggering deterministic automations to resolve them without a ticket being assigned to a human
Implement the logic that determines when an issue can be resolved automatically versus when it should escalate to a human under guidance from the Service Desk Lead and management
Implement full audit logging on all automated resolutions to ensure every action taken is traceable and reviewable post-run
Work with the Service Desk Lead to identify high-volume manual and repetitive ticket patterns and translate them into automation project requirements
Implement governance automations that keep platforms and systems in compliance without manual intervention
Build alerting pipelines for compliance drift, escalating to the appropriate platform owner when thresholds set by platform owners are breached
Partner with the IAM team to build integrations for access reviews and provisioning into non-SCIM, non-Okta-managed applications
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field and a minimum of 3 years of prior relevant experience
Or an advanced degree in a related field and a minimum of 2 years of experience
Proficiency in Python and/or JavaScript/TypeScript for building production automation and workflow tooling (not just scripting)
Experience with Bash/shell scripting for systems-level automation tasks
Experience working with event-driven architectures such as webhooks or message queues for triggering automated workflows
Experience building LLM-driven automations that make decisions, call tools/APIs, or route work based on context rather than fixed, binary logic
Experience designing and consuming REST and/or GraphQL APIs across multiple platforms and vendors (e.g. Okta, Slack, Google Workspace, Jira, Workday, etc.)
Familiarity with OAuth2.0/OIDC and API authentication patterns for secure service-to-service integration
Experience building auditable, event logged systems driven by need for compliance
Track record of driving a defined project from requirements definition through to a fully implemented production solution
Strong written and verbal communication skills for regular stakeholder updates to project stakeholders and management on automation build status
Desirable qualifications
Familiarity with prompt-based orchestration frameworks/platforms
Familiarity with identity and access management concepts including SCIM and non-SCIM provisioning
Understanding of where agentic automation is (and is not) appropriate (e.g. structured intake/triage of novel issues vs. tasks requiring consistent, repeatable and auditable outcomes)
Experience in an IT operations, corporate engineering, or platform engineering environment
The base salary range for this position is $87,000 - $125,500 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.
