About Auror

At Auror, we’re empowering the retail industry to stop 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.

Founded in New Zealand 12 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 and prioritize privacy by design principles. 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.

• Our tech stack is similar to the rest of Auror (see below), but we are powered by our data warehouse using Snowflake, CubeJS and DBT.
• We work with huge amounts of data so performance is a key focus for our team, as our customer base continues to grow we need to ensure we are able to scale with these growing needs.
• If you’re excited about bringing data to users in order to drive meaningful outcomes, then we want to hear from you!
