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.
We’re a deeply committed team of tier-1 backed and exited operators united by our five core principles:
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.
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.
Play a foundational role in building the future of high-performance lifestyle management - a $100bn opportunity at the intersection of technology, luxury, and longevity.

Requirements
Benefits
We’re pushing premium lifestyle commerce toward true autonomy - backed by the most successful founder this space has ever seen.
Dining, travel, experiences, gifting, and wellness sit at the center of our professional, personal, and social lives. Demand for authentic, standout experiences has never been higher.
Yet more than $1.5 trillion in premium lifestyle spend remains fragmented, inefficient, and ultimately unfulfilling.
The next step isn’t another booking app, credit card, or pay-to-play marketplace.
It’s intelligent agents that proactively curate high-leverage, hyper-personalized opportunities globally - managing access, logistics, payments, perks, and personalization on our behalf, without needing to be prompted.
For the first time in history, we have the tools to ingest and synthesize millions of real-world data points into a single operating system - one that understands objectives, health state, preferences, and constraints, and executes with precision and speed across lifestyle domains, geographies, and networks.
Doing the work for us so we can focus directly on the people, places, and experiences that compound our interdisciplinary mastery.
Think Anduril’s Lattice, applied not to warfare - but to life.
Multi-modal, multi-party, real-time lifestyle orchestration is the future for the world’s leading founders, athletes, family offices, and brands.
So we’re building it.
This is our life’s work. And we’re looking for ambitious, mission-driven travel managers, lifestyle managers, and engineers to join us.
We’re backed by tier-1 VCs and operators.
We’re an in-person company, building from our headquarters in Midtown Manhattan, with offices in Belgravia, London, and West Hollywood, Los Angeles.
If you want to help define an entirely new category - and build something enduring - this is the moment.
Join us.
