Based in Gurugram, you will join a new and growing engineering hub that forms part of Aurora’s wider Software Development organization, with the main team based in Oxford. This is an opportunity to do meaningful hands-on engineering work while helping shape how the Gurugram hub grows, collaborating closely with experienced colleagues across both locations.
Aurora’s mission is to help drive the energy transition through data-driven energy market intelligence and software that supports decision-makers across the power system. You will partner closely with colleagues in Oxford and across the business to build software that matters in a domain that is both technically challenging and globally significant.
You will work on modern microservices and micro-frontends using technologies such as TypeScript, ExpressJS, AWS Lambdas and React, helping to build customer-facing software from design through to deployment. We work with fast feedback loops, modern delivery practices and tooling that enables changes to reach customers multiple times a day, giving engineers real ownership and a clear connection between their work and customer outcomes.
We are looking for engineers who believe that strong engineering fundamentals matter more than ever in the age of AI. Clear architecture, thoughtful abstractions, strong testing, effective code review and operational excellence are central to how we build software. AI can help us move faster, but it does not replace engineering judgement. In many ways, it increases the importance of it. This role will suit an engineer who wants to use AI-assisted engineering productively while maintaining high standards of quality, maintainability and craftsmanship.
- Design, build and maintain high-quality software as part of a growing engineering hub in Gurugram, working closely with the main team in Oxford.
- Take ownership of technical delivery for meaningful pieces of work, from shaping solutions through implementation, testing, release and operational support.
- Collaborate with product, design and engineering colleagues across Gurugram and Oxford to solve complex technical and domain problems.
- Contribute to clear architecture, maintainable abstractions, strong testing practices, effective code review and operational excellence.
- Use AI-assisted engineering tools thoughtfully to improve productivity while applying sound judgement, preserving code quality and maintaining high engineering standards.
- Support other engineers through collaboration, pairing and technical guidance, without line-management responsibility.
Required attributes:
- Substantial commercial experience developing complex software systems using some of the following: Node, TypeScript, ExpressJS, React, SQL, NoSQL, cloud infrastructure or similar technologies
- A strong track record of delivering high-quality, maintainable software and solving difficult technical problems in production environments

Desirable attributes:
- Experience of Python
- Experience using AI-assisted development tools in a professional engineering environment
- A collaborative and international engineering culture, with close day-to-day connection to colleagues in Gurugram and Oxford
- The opportunity to join early and make a visible contribution to a growing engineering hub
- A competitive salary package
- The chance to work on meaningful software in the energy transition, solving technically demanding and commercially relevant problems
