Founding Mobile Engineer

London, UK Salary: £120,000 - £140,000 Equity: 0.5–1% In-person, with flexible remote days European visa sponsorship available About Aurora 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 $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 primarily from our London office in Belgravia, with flexible remote days.
