Digital frames and mobile apps for photo sharing across households
Aura manufactures smart photo frames paired with iOS/Android apps for family photo sharing, operating across iOS, Android, and embedded device stacks (Swift, Kotlin, AOSP). The tech mix—Rails backend, Postgres, multi-cloud deployment (AWS, GCP, Azure)—signals a B2C consumer platform at scale. Current hiring is concentrated in senior engineering and data roles, while active projects around revenue forecasting, database sharding, and cost reduction indicate post-growth focus on margin and operational efficiency rather than feature velocity.
