About this role
Aurora helps governments, investors, and utilities make billion-dollar decisions on the journey to net zero. You will join a growing engineering team in Oxford that builds cloud-based software to track and model power grids around the world. Aurora's models produce some of the most data-intensive outputs in the energy industry. They simulate every generator at 5-minute to half-hourly resolution, over 30-year horizons. As a Software Engineer in the platform team, you will build and own the scaling infrastructure that runs these models as fast and as cheaply as possible, using TypeScript, Python, MySQL and a variety of AWS products. You will work in a small team that releases changes multiple times a day. You solve hard problems, you value code review, and you have taken a large project from design to production. We use AI across the whole development process, from coding tools to our own agent platform, which you will help build. Hands-on experience with AI-assisted and agent-driven development is important to us. Design, develop, test, and operate the resilient and high-availability infrastructure which runs Aurora's forecast models Build tools and platforms that empower engineers, modellers, and analysts across the business Contribute to continuously improving how our platform team works Create the agent and compute platforms that power Aurora
