Aurora's models and infrastructure provide the platform that enables governments, investors and utilities to make billion-dollar decisions on the journey to net zero. We are looking for an exceptional Head of Software Engineering to lead the organisation responsible for designing, building and running the models that underpin Aurora’s global analysis and software. Reporting to the Chief Technology Officer, you will lead the engineering of our flagship modelling platforms — Origin, our power market scenario modelling platform, and Chronos, our battery storage valuation and dispatch optimisation platform — working closely with Product Engineering, AI & Data Engineering and our Modelling teams to deliver world-class analytical platforms at global scale. A talented engineering team, distributed across Oxford and our growing international hubs, will look to you for technical leadership, organisational direction and a culture of engineering excellence.  Working closely with Product Management and senior technology leadership, you will define engineering strategy, shape delivery roadmaps and drive the evolution of our modelling platforms.
