The AI platform for PSAPs and ECCs. Aurelian supports telecommunicators before, during, and after every call so they can focus on real emergencies. Backed by NEA and Y Combinator.
About the role
Lead a small pod. 3-4 engineers in your surface area. Own technical direction and code review. As the team grows, you'll pick up 1:1s, growth plans, and performance work. Stay hands-on. Ship code, review code, debug production issues. You should never get more than a few days away from the codebase.
What they're looking for
- Leadership spike. 3+ years of software engineering. You've already led on your team - formally or informally. You've mentored other engineers, owned a project that needed coordination across people, or driven a change that didn't have a clear owner
- Wants to grow into management. You want the management path - growing other engineers, running a team, eventually owning a full EM seat
- Strong, capable engineer. You can land in our codebase fast and ship. You read code well, reason about architecture, and care about the craft
- High ownership and pragmatic urgency. You see a problem, figure out the right thing to build, and drive it to completion. You take responsibility for outcomes, not just your code
- Clear communicator. You can explain a technical decision to a non-technical stakeholder. You write design docs other people actually read
- Customer empathy. You genuinely like understanding how people use software. You're energized by customer conversations, not drained by them
More about this role
Aurelian builds AI tools that help 911 centers handle more with less, so telecommunicators can stay focused on what matters most and communities get the response they need.
AVA is a conversational AI agent that answers non-emergency calls; the agent routes, triages, and resolves the calls without any human intervention. By handling administrative calls like noise complaints, lost dogs, and parking inquiries, AVA eliminates hold times and lets call-takers focus their energy on actual emergencies.
CORA supports call-takers on the calls that matter most. CORA is an on-screen assistant that delivers real-time SOP checklists, smart reminders, and contextual guidance as an emergency call unfolds, so dispatchers stay calm, consistent, and confident when every second counts. When AVA detects an emergency mid-call, it transfers the caller to a telecommunicator and passes along the caller details, location, incident type, and key statements directly into CORA. The call-taker never starts from scratch.
The problem we're solving is serious. The average emergency communications center is 30% understaffed nationwide. Staffing shortages drive burnout and attrition, which makes the shortage...
