Aurora is the Lifestyle Operating System empowering the world’s highest-performing individuals.

Consumer technology was supposed to give us leverage.

To make it easier to find the right restaurant, the right trip, the right doctor.

Instead, every major platform today is optimised against the person using it: more scrolling, more ads, more engagement loops.

You have infinite choice and zero clarity.

We exist to reverse that.

Aurora takes millions of data points about you and about the world and finds the one thing that is right for you, at the right time.

Our members — tier-1 founders, executives, and athletes — use Aurora to navigate travel, health, dining, experiences, and premium goods with the kind of judgment that used to require a team of people who'd known you for years.

Over half use it every single day, 95% every week, and in our first 6 months months, member spend is outperforming industry benchmarks by 5×.

Aurora is backed and chaired by Alex Macdonald, the most successful founder in this category, and has raised >$5M from experienced operators and tier-1 investors.

We are now expanding the founding engineering team as we scale the product and the member base.

Aurora is built in person from our offices in London, New York, and Los Angeles.

The engineering team works primarily from our London office in Belgravia, with flexible remote days.

The role

We’re hiring a Founding Product Engineer to own and ship user-facing, AI-driven features end to end.

This is a hybrid role that sits between engineering and product.

You will be hands-on technically , while also acting as the product owner for specific features .

You’ll define problems, shape solutions, work directly with curators and stakeholders, and ensure what we ship actually delivers value to members.

You’ll work closely with the CTO, founders, backend and mobile engineers, and the operations team.

Many of Aurora’s most important features live at the intersection of product judgment and agent orchestration - this role owns that intersection.

This is a high-ownership role.

You will take ambiguous ideas, turn them into concrete systems, ship them to production, and iterate based on real customer usage and feedback.

Over time, this role can evolve into senior product leadership, technical leadership, or a hybrid path, depending on your strengths and ambitions.

Aurora attracts people who want to build their own companies.

We treat this role as training for that level of ownership.
