Residential solar design and sales solutions that are accurate at every stage, from design to signed permit, with physics-based accuracy. Backed by Pear VC, ICONIQ and Lux.
About the role
As a Senior Software Engineer on the System Design Pod, you'll help build the next generation of PV and storage design tools at Aurora. You'll lead technical features from discovery through general release, propose new mathematical approaches to long-standing problems, and push our simulation and optimization work forward alongside a team that cares deeply about getting it right.
What they're looking for
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience with a strong backend foundation
- Academic background or equivalent skillset in computational mathematics, optimization, linear algebra, control theory, or numerical algorithms
- Hands-on experience with simulation or optimization
- Experience designing and building APIs, microservices, or data pipelines at scale
- Sharp algorithmic thinking, with the ability to reason about performance, correctness, and edge cases in computational systems
- Proficiency in one or more backend languages. Our stack is C++, Python, and Ruby, and relevant experience in other languages is welcome
More about this role
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. Our software has designed millions of solar projects so far, empowering solar companies to sell, design, and install residential and commercial solar arrays accurately, seamlessly, and at scale.
We’ve been named one of "The Best Remote Companies" by BuiltIn.com and have been recognized for the second time as a Certified Green Business (CGB) with the city of San Francisco. We’re in this together to support the world’s transition to solar.
The System Design Pod sits at the heart of Aurora's core platform, building the computation engines that make accurate, high-fidelity solar design possible. Our team owns the algorithms and systems that power load and utility bill modeling, whole home electrification, PV and battery electrical design, and system performance simulation. The work is deeply technical, operating at the intersection of software engineering and applied math, and it has an outsized impact on the quality of every solar project designed in Aurora.
