Software Engineer (m/w/d)

Job Description

Aurora is on a mission to create a future of solar for all. Our award-winning software puts the power of data and technology into the hands of every solar professional to make solar adoption simple and predictable. Our software has designed millions of solar projects so far, empowering solar companies to sell, design, and install residential and commercial solar arrays accurately, seamlessly, and at scale.

We are a remote-first collaborative team of sustainable energy enthusiasts who love what we do. We’ve been named one of "The Best Remote Companies To Work for in 2025" by BuiltIn.com and have been recognized for the second time as a Certified Green Business (CGB) with the city of San Francisco. We’re in this together to support the world’s transition to solar.

About the Team

The Sales Mode pod owns our sales narrative platform and financial integrations with partners. Our mission is to make it easy for solar professionals to tell their story, customize proposals, and offer homeowners financing options that truly fit their needs.

We’re a collaborative, inclusive team that values open communication, knowledge-sharing, and mutual respect. We support one another’s growth and celebrate progress—whether it's shipping a new feature or leveling up a skill. If you enjoy solving meaningful problems with a group that’s as thoughtful as it is driven, you’ll feel right at home.

About the Role

In this role, you’ll help scale our existing platform and contribute to new, greenfield initiatives that move the energy industry forward. We’re looking for a strong developer and teammate—someone who thrives on collaboration, cares deeply about outcomes, and is excited to solve real-world challenges with a smart, supportive group.

We live by values like we're in this together, maximize impact, and always push forward—and we’re looking for someone who shares that mindset.

If you’re excited to build for scale, care about clean energy, and want your work to matter—we’d love to talk.
