What we are looking for
We're searching for a Senior Security Engineer to join our Enterprise Security Engineering team, reporting to the Technical Lead Manager of Security Engineering.
Aurora is scaling its autonomous trucking operations, and the security foundations protecting our employees, devices, internal systems, and data need to scale with us.
We're looking for an experienced security engineer with a strong generalist foundation across enterprise security — someone who can take a well-scoped project from design to implementation, write real automation in Python and Go, and contribute across multiple domains rather than owning one deeply.
In this role you will
- Contribute to the design, implementation, and hardening of enterprise security controls across endpoint, identity, network, and data domains
- Help configure, tune, and maintain security platforms (EDR, IAM, DLP, PKI, email security)
- Write automation and tooling in Python and Go to reduce manual work across one or more of these domains
- Support device hardening and endpoint security baselines across macOS, Linux, and Windows
- Contribute to network security projects — segmentation, DNS security, VPN/Tailscale, 802.1x
- Assist with vulnerability management: triage, prioritization, and remediation tracking
- Participate in the team's on-call rotation
- Partner with IT and Engineering on scoped security initiatives
Required qualifications
- 7+ years of hands-on experience in enterprise/corporate security engineering — specifically employee-facing systems, endpoints, identity, and internal infrastructure
- Working proficiency in Python and Go, used for real automation or tooling
- Hands-on experience with multiple of the following, with working familiarity across the rest: EDR, IAM, DLP, email security, vulnerability management, network security, PKI
- OS security experience across Linux and macOS at minimum; some Windows exposure
