It’s high volume crime that’s increasingly organised in nature and is putting people, retailers, and communities at risk every day.\nFounded in New Zealand 13 years ago, we’re working with some of the best and largest retailers in the world across the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK.\nAuror is connecting people and intelligence to reduce crime. We’re using technology for good.\nIn partnership with our leading retail partners, we need people with the passion, determination, and innovation required to overcome one of the world's largest problems. If you’re looking to make a difference with and for the people dedicated to stopping crime, for good, then we want you on our team.\nWe're also embracing the potential of AI to supercharge our impact-whether that's enhancing the way we detect trends, support our customers, or improve internal workflows. As a company, we're committed to responsibly incorporating AI into how we work and what we build, and we encourage all Aurors to be curious about how AI can elevate their work, regardless of role or function.\nThe Role\nWe're looking for a full stack Software (Frontend Leaning) Engineer to join our Risk Detection stream in Product Engineering. In this role, you'll help evolve the systems that power Auror's core detection capabilities, building features that transform high-volume signals into accurate, actionable detections that help retailers and law enforcement prevent and respond to harm as well workflows for retailers to manage enrollment of persons of interest\nYou’ll contribute to capabilities across Auror Subject Recognition (ASR) and our broader Risk Detection platform, working on products where information needs to move from cameras and detection systems through to clear, actionable experiences for customers.\nThis is a frontend-leaning role, but not a frontend-only role. You’ll spend much of your time working with React and TypeScript, building thoughtful, high-quality customer experiences. You’ll also have opportunities to work across APIs, services, data flows, and our C#/.NET backend as you develop your full-stack engineering skills.\nYou’ll work closely with other engineers, Product, Design, and QE to understand customer problems, contribute to technical solutions, and ship software that is reliable, intuitive, and maintainable.\nYou won’t be expected to have all the answers. You’ll be part of an experienced engineering team where you can take increasing ownership, learn from others, and develop your technical judgement while making a meaningful contribution to Auror’s mission.\nSuccess in this role means consistently delivering high-quality product improvements, taking ownership of increasingly complex engineering problems, contributing positively to the way the team builds software, and continuing to grow your technical capability.\nLocation\nThis role is based in Auckland. Candidates must currently live in Auckland or be willing to relocate. While the team primarily works remotely, you’ll receive regular in-person coaching and support from colleagues in Auckland, alongside remote support from your immediate team.\n\nAbout Auror Engineering\nCollaboration is at the heart of the Engineering team at Auror. We believe that we can only build the very best software by working with each other and seeking different perspectives to solve problems. We’re a team that:\nShip code to production constantly: Our product team ships code to production on average at least 10-15 times a day prioritising small releases and short feedback cycles and we do this with a minimal defect rate.\n\nWork on cloud native architecture: We focus on delivering business value to customers, without the burden of maintaining complex infrastructure\n\nWork on innovative and up to date tech stacks: We are constantly evolving our technology stack inline with the needs of our business, leveraging React and Typescript for front-end and C# / Dotnet for back end. We host our services in Azure and utilise a wide range of cloud-native services with an evolving service-oriented architecture.\n\nContribute to our product: We work with Product Management and Product Design from the very beginning to make sure we’re delivering value to our customers and making a meaningful impact.\n\nSupports a coaching culture: Together, we support one another to level up\n\nContinuously improve: We are relentless about getting better and improving our processes, tooling and tech stack.\n\nWhat you’ll do\nBuild Great Product Experiences\nBuild and improve customer-facing experiences across Auror’s Risk Detection capabilities, including ASR.\n\nUse React and TypeScript to create intuitive, accessible, and responsive product experiences.\n\nWork closely with Product and Design to understand the customer problem behind the work you’re delivering.\n\nConsider usability, accessibility, performance, and reliability as part of building a quality product.\n\nParticipate in discovery and technical discussions, contributing ideas and identifying implementation considerations early.\n\nOwn and Deliver Engineering Work\nTake ownership of well-defined product and technical problems from development through to production.\n\nBreak work into manageable increments and deliver changes safely and consistently.\n\nWrite maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to the ongoing health of the systems you work in.\n\nInvestigate bugs and production issues, identify root causes, and contribute to improvements that prevent similar problems recurring.\n\nDevelop confidence working with ambiguity and ask for context or support when needed.\n\nDevelop Your Full-Stack Capability\nBuild a strong understanding of how our frontend applications interact with APIs, services, and data.\n\nContribute to C#/.NET backend services where required to deliver an end-to-end customer outcome.\n\nLearn how Risk Detection works across the wider system, from POI enrolment and detection processing through to the experiences customers use.\n\nWork with engineers across frontend, backend, edge, and platform systems to understand how changes fit into the broader architecture.\n\nContribute to Engineering Quality\nParticipate actively in code reviews, technical discussions, pairing, and team engineering practices.\n\nApply established engineering patterns while contributing ideas about how they could be improved.\n\nWrite appropriate automated tests and help maintain confidence in the software the team ships.\n\nConsider observability, performance, security, privacy, and maintainability as part of your implementation decisions.\n\nShare what you learn and help create a collaborative environment where engineers can learn from each other.\n\nUse AI to Improve How You Work\nUse AI and LLM-based engineering tools thoughtfully to support development, testing, debugging, and learning.\n\nExplore ways AI can help you understand unfamiliar systems, iterate faster, and improve the quality of your work.\n\nApply appropriate judgement and human oversight when using AI-generated solutions.\n\nShare useful approaches and learnings with the team.\n\nBuild Reliable, Responsible Software\nHelp build software where latency, correctness, and reliability directly affect customer trust.\n\nContribute to monitoring, observability, and operational readiness for the systems you work on.\n\nParticipate in incident response and learn from production issues.\n\nFollow privacy-conscious engineering practices, particularly when working with biometric or other sensitive information.\n\nAbout you\nA desire to do frontend engineering: You’re excited about building modern web applications and keen to work with React and TypeScript or similar technologies.\n\nStrong engineering fundamentals: You write understandable, maintainable code and have a good grounding in software design, testing, debugging, and development practices.\n\nProduct mindset: You’re interested in why something is being built, not just what needs to be implemented, and care about the experience customers have with the software you create.\n\nGrowing full-stack capability: You’re comfortable working with APIs and backend concepts and are interested in developing further across the stack.
