About the role

This is a rare opportunity to be a founding technical voice on Aura's AI Intelligence Platform, which unifies all of Aura's data and bridges the gap between AI agents and that data, with security and privacy as its foundational pillars.
You'll work primarily in Python and TypeScript on AWS, on systems that serve millions of Aura customers.
This is a deeply technical, hands-on role.

Own complex, end-to-end initiatives from design and architecture through development, deployment, and iteration, navigating ambiguous product goals and translating them into clear, scalable technical requirements.
Build the foundation that unifies Aura's data into a trusted, high-quality source for generating intelligence.
Establish and champion engineering best practices for security, privacy, observability, testing, and operational excellence that the teams building on the platform adopt.
Serve as a technical mentor, providing guidance on complex design challenges, performance tuning, and system reliability without holding direct reports.
Deep experience owning systems end-to-end as the lead technical voice on large, complex projects, from architecture through production operation.
Expert knowledge of software design best practices, data structures, algorithms, and distributed-systems fundamentals.
Demonstrated experience building systems that handle sensitive or regulated data, with security and privacy treated as first-class design constraints rather than afterthoughts.
Experience building AI/LLM-powered systems in production, such as agents, retrieval pipelines, evaluation, or LLM observability.

10+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a track record of designing and shipping complex, large-scale distributed systems.
In-depth knowledge of cloud technology and the judgment to choose the right tool for the job, from serverless functions vs. containerized services to relational vs.
Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent work experience.
Experience with large-scale data platforms and data-intensive systems.
Experience with AWS and Infrastructure as Code.

Demonstrated ability and desire to learn new technologies and to move quickly in a fast-evolving AI landscape.

Pay range for this position is $180,000 - 235,000 but may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, experience and location.

Design, document, and drive the architectural vision for the platform, ensuring scalability, reliability, security, and alignment with business goals.

Build the systems that turn that intelligence into personalized insights and actions that keep our customers and their families safe.
