Job description

About Auror

At Auror, we’re empowering the retail industry to tackle theft and Organised Retail Crime, a $150 Billion problem globally. It's high volume crime that’s increasingly organised in nature and is putting people, retailers, and communities at risk every day.

Founded 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.

Auror is connecting people and intelligence to reduce crime. We're using technology for good.

In 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.

We'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.

The Role

This is a brand new role at Auror, which means you'll have real scope to shape it. Auror's Subject Recognition (ASR) technology runs across a global edge estate, on-camera and on-server, in thousands of retail stores around the world.

Your role will be to help Auror own and evolve this edge capability. This includes making the estate observable, reliable, upgradeable and supportable at scale, while also developing new detection, recognition and AI capabilities as the technology evolves. You'll help our support teams and customers' Security Operations Centre (SOC) and IT teams identify and respond to issues before customers notice them, and give Auror the evidence needed to confidently improve the underlying models and functionality.

This brings a unique set of systems challenges, from debugging across device, container, host and network boundaries, to building the observability and evaluation tooling that tells us whether what we have deployed is working as intended in a remote environment Auror doesn't control. You'll also navigate trade-offs such as latency, detection accuracy and compute constraints, and contribute to ASR capabilities that may span both edge devices and Auror's cloud platform.

You'll be part of the ASR software engineering team, working closely across product, engineering and commercial teams to define how this role operates and where it can have the greatest impact. As Auror expands to more stores and retailers globally, the systems, capabilities and standards you establish will help make that growth possible. If you want genuine ownership of a complex physical-meets-software problem, with the opportunity to shape the future of edge AI at Auror, this is that role.

Location

• For Senior level and above, we are open to considering remote candidates within New Zealand.
