Who we are

Aura was founded by Eric Jensen and Abdur Chowdury, computer scientists who met as PhD candidates and then partnered to build the search engine Summize. When Twitter acquired that company in 2008, the dynamic duo stayed on and contributed to the platform’s most explosive years of growth, with Eric leading search products and Abdur being named Twitter's first Chief Scientist. Fond of the lighthearted, small-community experience of social media’s early days, Eric and Abdur wanted to use their knowledge of social networking to create a better way for loved ones to stay connected over shared photos.

Aura began building a platform to power its WiFi frames and officially launched in 2016.

• You’ll work as part of the creative team to build and evolve a best-in-class brand.
• Drive how the brand comes to life, specifically in the digital world. You have a deep understanding of creating brand systems for e-commerce and digital experiences.
• Have a holistic view of the brand, and work collaboratively with different disciplines within Aura, including Marketing, Retail, Industrial Design and UX, in bringing the brand to life.
• Think critically to understand problems, brainstorm creative ideas, and recommend design solutions that are fresh, risk-taking, and always on-brand.

Key Qualifications
• 6-8 years of experience building brands and executing across platforms. E-commerce experience preferred.
• Confident and clear communicator who can speak to your work and make strategic design decisions.

• Comfortable working autonomously, as well as managing designers.
• You love collaborating with other teams within organizations to bring projects and big ideas to life.
• Have a portfolio of successfully launched work demonstrating strategic, conceptual, and creative thinking.
