Description For Lead Software Engineer

Aura, founded in 2017, is the leading Amazon repricing and analytics platform, helping Amazon third-party sellers maintain competitive pricing. With over 2,000 paying users and $2.5MM in annual recurring revenue, Aura is now scaling to serve 10,000 Amazon sellers.

As the Lead Software Engineer, you'll drive product and engineering efforts to elevate the platform.

Key responsibilities include:

  1. Owning Aura's backend architecture (AWS, Go) and codebase
  2. Collaborating with the product designer on the design system and UI library
  3. Becoming an expert in Amazon's Selling Partner API
  4. Building internal tools for customer support

The ideal candidate has 2+ years of fullstack engineering experience, proficiency in TypeScript (React) and Go, and experience with AWS. You should be comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment and willing to relocate to Boston for a hybrid work arrangement (4 days in-office).

Aura offers competitive compensation ($155,000-$175,000 salary with 0.25%-2.00% equity), comprehensive benefits, and a culture that values work-life balance. This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing startup in a high-impact role, working with a diverse team in a design-led environment.

If you're passionate about building scalable solutions, driving product direction, and leading engineering efforts in the e-commerce space, this role at Aura could be your next career-defining opportunity.
