Build at Auger

Auger is the autonomous operating system for supply chains — the layer that finally allows disparate systems like ERP, WMS, and TMS work together instead of against each other.

Most supply chain software surfaces problems and waits for a human to act. Auger solves them. Our AI detects disruptions, evaluates trade-offs, and executes decisions automatically — moving from signal to action in seconds, not weeks. We eliminate the Coordination Tax: the billions in capital and time lost when disconnected systems force the best people in the business to become the Human API between planning and execution.

At Auger, we design autonomy into our systems. We expect the same from our people.

That means:

• Clear ownership, not decision by consensus
• First principles over inherited patterns
• Shipping systems, not slide decks
• Fast feedback from reality, not opinions

If you want to build, ship, and iterate against reality, Auger is for you.

Auger was founded by Dave Clark and is backed by $150M from Oak HC/FT and Eclipse Capital. Headquarters in Dallas, TX and Bellevue, Washington.

About the Team & Role

Auger is building an autonomous operating system for the supply chain. Our customers rely on Auger to understand reality and change it: reporting, AI-powered decision support, and write-back execution systems that operate at scale.

This role is data-centric software engineering. We hold a high bar for quality: you’ll help turn messy, customer-shared data into a unified semantic layer that analytics, AI workflows, and execution paths can rely on.

This is not a “move data from A to B” role. You are expected to own data correctness, semantic correctness, and operability for the data lifecycle.

What You’ll Do

• As a Software Development Engineer, you have a solid data engineering background. You will deliver end-to-end on assigned pipelines and transformation work, help troubleshoot production issues, and consistently improve quality through tests, checks, and sound operational habits.

• Build and maintain data pipelines lifecycle. Ship production-grade transformation logic and operational outputs, using schema contracts and measurable validation.

• Work in an agent-native style—use AI tools to move faster on data exploration, data transformation, data queries, data investigation, and refactors. Contribute to reusable patterns and tooling (including agent-assisted workflows) so the team can discover schemas, draft transforms, generate SQL faster, and troubleshoot with less one-off work.

• Build and maintain the integration points between data pipelines and ML pipelines. Implement schema-bound datasets that transform pipeline outputs into ML-ready inputs, and write ML results back to the semantic layer following established contracts. Contribute to schema design and enforce data contracts that keep model logic cleanly separated from the system of record.

• Operate what you build: monitoring and alerting as appropriate, participating in incidents remediations, and following through so issues do not repeat. Practice test-driven habits for data: clarify correctness for the datasets you touch; add automated checks and regression coverage where it matters; turn bugs and incidents into fixes that stick.

• Partner with product, science, and platform teammates to clarify requirements, flag tradeoffs early, and deliver work that holds up to customers.

What You Bring

• Degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or another data-intensive discipline (or equivalent practical experience). 4+ years of professional development experience with strong hands-on SQL and Python in production (Spark or equivalent large-scale batch processing preferred; Scala/Flink/Beam a plus). 3+ years in data work (structured and semi-structured), modern warehouses/lakehouses, and practical schema design in evolving domains.
• Ownership mindset on production systems: you debug methodically, improve reliability over time, and connect your work to customer/product outcomes. Hands-on experience with lakehouse/warehouse patterns, incremental processing, and basic performance/cost awareness. Notebook fluency and the judgment to structure notebook work so it is reviewable and promotable.
• Validation-first habits for data: meaningful checks between layers, DQ where it counts, and regression protection for critical transforms. Agent-native fluency with verification—you treat generated SQL/pipelines as proposals until proven.
• Clear communication and collaboration: you ask good questions, drive work to completion, and leave the codebase better than you found it.
• A plus if you have experience in supply chain, planning, or fulfillment domains.

Compensation & Benefits

As part of our commitment to People Powered Greatness, we invest in our team members with competitive compensation and a comprehensive benefits to support your health, financial future, and daily life.
