To make comprehensive digital security that's easy to use and accessible to all.
Role
Who you are
- 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of shipping and maintaining products in production
- Full-stack experience with modern front-end frameworks (e.g., React/TypeScript) and familiarity with back-end technologies (e.g., Node.js, GraphQL, REST APIs)
- Comfort working across the stack — you do not need to be an expert in everything, but you are able to contribute to frontend, backend, or mobile codebases as needed
- Experience with modern web tooling (bundlers, CI/CD, testing frameworks)
- Experience with analytics and observability tools for instrumenting features, debugging production issues, and understanding user behavior (e.g., OpenTelemetry, PostHog, SigNoz, Grafana, Datadog, or similar)
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively in a remote-first environment
- Proficiency with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Copilot, etc.) and enthusiasm for integrating AI into your daily coding, debugging, and planning workflows
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience
Desirable
- Experience with React Native or mobile app development
- Familiarity with subscription/payment systems or e-commerce flows
- Experience with A/B testing and experimentation platforms
- Experience with marketing tech integrations (e.g., Braze)
- Familiarity with AWS infrastructure and deployment pipelines (Terraform/HCL)
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Software Engineer who thrives in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment, is comfortable working across the full stack, and is eager to continuously learn new technologies and skills
- You will build features that touch millions of customers and directly impact Aura's growth and revenue
- You will collaborate closely with Product, Design, Marketing, and Data teams to run experiments, ship quickly, and iterate based on results
- You will leverage AI-assisted development tools to ship features rapidly, while applying your own software expertise and judgment to ensure quality through application of best practices, robust testing, and appropriate guardrails
Our take
Aura provides digital security solutions at both individual and enterprise level. An amalgamation of five businesses (including Intersections Inc, an identity theft solutions provider established in 1996) Aura brings together decades of experience in the security space.
Aura offers a range of plans to help businesses and consumers keep their data safe, with protection from identity theft, online financial theft and protection of technology and devices. It's a competitive space, with rivals including IDShield and IdentityForce. However Aura's combined experience in the field and the constantly increasing online security threats (for instance, catfishing - a scam where the perpetrator adopts a fictional persona to obtain personal information , financial gain or to lure someone into a relationship has doubled in frequency in the last 5 years) means there has proved to be plenty of room for the company to carve out space for itself in the market.
Aura's acquisition of the Pango Group in 2020 has proved to be profitable for the company, giving it access to more digital security verticals and helping to generate 35% year on year growth. It is continuing to scale the business, hiring more talent to make this a possibility.
