About Auror

 

At Auror, we’re empowering the retail industry to reduce 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. Our current mission is to reduce violent retail crime by 50% in 5 years.

 

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 Role

As Engineering Lead (Subject Recognition / Edge), you'll lead one of the engineering teams responsible for one of Auror's most strategically important product areas. You'll provide technical and people leadership across Auror Subject Recognition (ASR), helping shape the technology that enables retailers to detect and respond to crime in real time.

A significant focus of the role will be taking FaceRec Edge from pilot to reliable, multi-site production. That means defining what a "healthy" deployment actually looks like across a fleet of cameras and on-prem servers, in Detection quality as well as uptime, and building the practice that keeps that estate reliable as it grows.

Working at the intersection of AI, distributed systems, and privacy conscious engineering, you'll ensure our platforms meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, and responsible use of technology.

Success in this role means growing a high performing engineering team that ships with confidence and consistency, delivers innovative Risk Detection capabilities, and enables Auror to continue expanding its impact around the world.

 

What you’ll do:

• Lead Engineering the Subject Recognition On-Prem team

  • Lead engineering for Auror's on-prem face recognition platform — the edge devices, detection pipeline and vendor model integration — setting clear technical direction while keeping the team aligned to shared Risk Detection priorities and customer outcomes.
