Cloud-based solar design and sales platform for installers
Aurora builds design-to-close software for solar installers, processing tens of thousands of projects weekly via a stack anchored in Python, React, and AWS. The company is engineering-heavy (11 of 15 open roles) with senior-weighted seniority mix, signaling infrastructure and product complexity. Pain points center on scaling backend systems and expanding across European markets—consistent with a platform hitting deployment limits as it grows beyond North American dominance.
Aurora provides cloud-based software for solar PV design, sales, and delivery. The platform ingests customer address and electric bill data to generate customizable solar designs, enabling installers to close deals in-field. The company serves the solar installation industry across North America and expanding into Europe. Aurora's technical architecture spans design simulation (WebGL, Three.js, CUDA for performance modeling), transactional workflows (Spring, Rails), and data persistence (PostgreSQL, MySQL). Current initiatives include partner integrations, storage solutions, and ROI modeling features alongside organizational scaling and equity administration.
Core stack: Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Java (Spring Framework), PostgreSQL, MySQL, AWS, WebGL, Three.js, and CUDA for solar performance modeling and 3D design rendering.
