About Aurora

Aurora is the AI-native Lifestyle Operating System for the world's highest performers.

A proactive, conversational lifestyle management product relied on by the world's top founders, athletes, and creatives to advise, execute, and manage their travel, dining, wellness, experiences, and gifting globally.

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

Aurora is backed and chaired by Alex Macdonald, the most successful founder in this category, and has raised $9M 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 from our London office in Belgravia, with flexible remote days.

The role

We're hiring a Founding Mobile Engineer (Flutter) to work closely with the CTO and Product Manager on Aurora's mobile app - a next-generation lifestyle operating system.

You'll place a conversational, daily-use product in the hands of the world's most discerning, high-impact individuals, influencing and optimizing their global lifestyle.

This is a hands-on role. You'll own and ship core parts of the app end-to-end, from implementation to release. You'll have real influence over technical decisions, standards, and how the product evolves.

Performance, reliability, and polish are critical. Small UX issues are noticeable, and fixing them matters.

We're building Aurora to be multi-modal and voice first - you'll have a part to play in developing Aurora across devices, so all members of the org (partners, advisors, co-execs, and assistants) can use Aurora simultaneously.

You'll report directly to the CTO. Over time, this role can grow into a more senior position in product & user experience as the team scales.

Our Principles

We're a deeply committed team of tier-1 backed and exited operators united by our four core principles:

We seek truth
We are high-leverage
We are owners
We believe impossible is an attitude

Why Aurora

High Leverage

Design a daily-use product placed directly in the hands of the world’s most ambitious individuals and organizations - empowering them to compound their time, relationships, and global impact.

Cutting-Edge AI

Work hands-on with a next-generation AI system redefining lifestyle management at the highest level, spanning context, recommendation, orchestration, and execution. Design an ultra-lightweight, ultra-high-leverage product experience that consistently wins the engagement, trust, and spend of the most powerful consumer cohort in history.

Opportunity

Play a foundational role in building the future of high-performance lifestyle management - a $100bn opportunity at the intersection of technology, luxury, and longevity.
