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

Ability to take a scoped project from requirements to shipped, with light guidance rather than close oversight

Exposure to SIEM and detection pipelines (log queries, basic detection logic)

Experience with Tailscale, 802.1x, or similar zero‑trust network access tooling

Familiarity with Hashi Corp Vault or another secrets/PKI platform

Familiarity with cloud technologies and security (e.g. AWS, GCP, Azure)

Familiarity with LLM‑based AI tools, including agentic workflows and MCP

Industry standard security certifications such as Security+ or CISSP

For roles based in Seattle, WA, San Francisco, CA, and Mountain View, CA:

For roles based in Bozeman, MT:
