About The Position

Auror's mission is to reduce violent crime in retail stores by 50% over the next 5 years and we believe that recognition technology, when deployed with privacy at the forefront, has a major role to play in helping us in achieving this goal. Our market-leading Risk Recognition modules help retailers to solve and prevent crime by sending real-time alerts to store teams about high-risk individuals entering their locations. This critical intelligence empowers teams to respond proactively, enhancing the safety of both staff and customers and improving loss prevention results.

This role requires someone with experience deploying end-to-end solutions that involve both hardware and software, exceptional project management skills, and the ability to collaborate effectively with various internal and external stakeholders.
