At Aurora, we’re on a mission to deliver the benefits of self-driving technology safely, quickly, and broadly. It all starts with the Aurora Driver, a platform created from industry-leading hardware and software and designed to adapt across a variety of vehicle types and industries.

As we prepare to go public this year, we’ve been pulling back the curtain on our technology and progress in self-driving - you can watch our engineers talk about our perception, simulation, hardware stack and more at https://aurora.tech/ai.

As we work towards building our first product, the Aurora Driver, my team is looking for someone to lead our service mesh effort.

What you’ll do as a Service Mesh Engineer:

Connect, secure, control, and observe traffic in Kubernetes clusters for our long-running services and APIs. You will work on our key ingress, as well as manage our services' authentication and telemetry. This person will have a huge impact in establishing a service mesh at Aurora and determining how distributed systems will work at our company.

When we’re back in the office, Aurora will run on a hybrid model. This particular role may also be open to remote (US only) for the right candidate.

We have tons of jobs open across Software and Hardware engineering - you can check them all out at https://aurora.tech/careers!

Really curious what the latency numbers will be. I would love to drop Comcast.

Well written and informative. Thanks for posting/writing this!

Be careful though - we use Aurora PG and it's great for what it does, but they do not support managed upgrades across major PG versions yet! We're stuck on 9.6.x because the time to dump and restore our large DB is a non-starter with the rest of the business.

Military forces around the world have figured it out - they have a common dehumanizing language to avoid empathy triggers.

Except it doesn't work with anything complicated, like volumes, in my experience.

My biggest problem with S3 is the old multi-layered security model with bucket policies and ACLs. They need to update it to just use IAM like everything else.

It's difficult to tell from the article. Unfortunately in the USA the poor don't have the same ability to defend themselves as the rich, and it often skews along racial lines. We also have repeat offender laws that can catch up reformed criminals as well as repeat ones.

Came to post this exact same thing.

Rational potential jurors out there, don't dodge that summons! You're the last safeguard against tyranny.
