Senior Software Engineer (Frontend focussed)

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 11 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.

About Auror Engineering

Collaboration 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:

• Ship 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. 
• Work on cloud native architecture: We focus on delivering business value to customers, without the burden of maintaining complex infrastructure
• Work 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.
• Contribute 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.
• Supports a coaching culture: Together, we support one another to level up
• Continuously improve: We are relentless about getting better and improving our processes, tooling and tech stack.

About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer with a frontend focus to join our Investigate stream.

This stream owns Auror’s investigation and case management experience, helping retailers and law enforcement collaborate, manage evidence, and turn information into actionable outcomes. This is a core part of our product, directly supporting how customers investigate incidents and build cases.

You’ll work on features such as:

• Investigation lifecycle (create, edit, archive, reopen)
• Collaboration and activity tracking
• Evidence management and exports (e.g. PDFs)
• Timeline and link analysis
• Outcomes and reporting
• Integrations that bring intelligence into investigations

This is a space with high complexity, real-world impact, and strong requirements around usability, auditability, and correctness.

What you'll do

• Build high-quality frontend experiences: Design and build maintainable, reusable components in React and TypeScript, improving usability and clarity for complex workflows while evolving frontend consistency across the product.
• Deliver end-to-end outcomes: Work across frontend and backend to deliver complete features within the Investigate domain, integrating with existing APIs and ensuring solutions align with established patterns and boundaries.
• Own and drive delivery: Take ownership of features from idea to production, breaking work into incremental improvements and maintaining momentum through pragmatic decision-making.
• Think in terms of product and outcomes: Understand how investigation workflows impact real users, prioritising solutions that improve efficiency, clarity, and trust without over-engineering.
• Improve quality and systems: Strengthen code quality, testing, and reliability while contributing to better frontend patterns, tooling, and observability across the system.
• Collaborate effectively: Work closely with engineers, product, and design, communicating clearly and contributing to shared decisions and consistent approaches.
