Founding Recruiter

Who are we

We are building The Search Engine for Offline. Want to find dentists in your area for an appointment in the afternoon We will find one. Want to see if there are restaurants that serve vegan and Japanese cuisine We will hunt for one. Too busy to cook Need to ensure the cafe down your street has a sandwich and coffee ready for you to take We will make the call.

We are building Gen-AI based agentic systems that can search & filter options available anywhere in the world on behalf of consumers. We observe that even though 90% of all commerce is done offline, there is a huge gap of information in the offline commerce vs online. There is a huge cost of time and effort for the consumers currently to bridge the gap. We think GenAI can collect this data at scale in no-time on behalf of the consumers.

We are building these GenAI wrappers and orchestrating them to offer consumers a means to instantly find what they want AND suppliers the visibility they never got otherwise.

Our mission is ambitious, and our product is at the cutting edge of AI. To achieve this, we need a team that is not just skilled, but deeply invested in the mission.

We believe everyone gets one or two opportunities in their life to build their life's work. We think this is ours and want to work with people who are willing to grab it and make it theirs too! Aurora AI is ran by second time founders (Mehul & Shyam), who like to work hard, party hard. If you love a no BS culture and wanna work in an environment, that feels like college, come join us.

We work out of HSR Layout, Bangalore. We strive to maintain a flat hierarchy within the team and a no corporate BS dynamic. We work hard, we party hard. We have a fully work from office DNA - we prefer people talking to each other and resolving issues in real-time instead of a backlog of emails or texts to get back to when available.
