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 13 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.
The Contract Role
We're hiring 2 x senior contract full stack engineers to work within one of our new domain services in the platform, on an initial contract of approximately six months.
This is greenfield work inside an established product. A core capability is being carved out into its own service, with its own data model, its own API, and its own front end. The work runs the full depth of that slice: building out the service and its contracts in C#/.NET, exposing it cleanly to internal and public API clients, and building the React and TypeScript experience on top of it.
This is deliberately not a backend-only or frontend-only role. You'll be expected to move across the whole stack to deliver complete outcomes, and to be equally comfortable reasoning about service boundaries and asynchronous workflows as you are building a complex, stateful UI. If you're strong at one end and passable at the other, this won't be the right fit.
You'll be joining an existing team, working closely with Product, Design and engineers on adjacent systems. The work is well-defined in outcome and open in approach, so we're looking for someone who can operate with a high degree of autonomy and create momentum without close direction.
Success looks like a capability the permanent team can confidently own and extend long after the contract ends.
