Aurora is on a mission to create a future of solar for all. Our award-winning software puts the power of data and technology into the hands of every solar professional to make solar adoption simple and predictable.

We are a remote-first collaborative team of sustainable energy enthusiasts who love what we do. We’ve been named one of "The Best Remote Companies To Work for in 2025" by BuiltIn.com and have been recognized for the second time as a Certified Green Business (CGB) with the city of San Francisco.

• Design, develop, and deploy high-quality code (both front-end and back-end) that directly impacts the solar buying experience for homeowners across America

• Actively participate in the full software development lifecycle, from feature conceptualization and design to implementation, testing, and deployment

• Champion code quality through thorough reviews and testing, ensuring the reliability and scalability of our systems

• Contribute to a culture of continuous improvement by proposing innovative solutions, participating in retrospectives, and driving process enhancements

• 2+ years of experience and strong proficiency in Python

• 1+ years of experience with React or other front end frameworks

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to effectively partner with product managers, designers, and other engineers

• A passion for solving complex problems and a commitment to writing clean, maintainable code

• A proactive mindset with the ability to take initiative, ask questions, and propose solutions
