About Auror Engineering

- Ship code to production at least 15 times a day (with a defect rate under 0.2%), prioritising short feedback cycles over project plans and deadlines.
- Block out serious time for engineering enhancements (Tech debt) and UX improvements (based on feedback of deployed features).
Our stack is: React with Typescript over a C# backend. On the frontend we're using Jest with React Testing Library and Chromatic for visual testing. Backed test frameworks include XUnit, AutoFixture, Moq, SpecLight, and Cypress for end-to-end tests.
