Aura Frames | https://auraframes.com/careers | Commerce Integrations (Ruby) Engineer | ONSITE (hybrid) in New York City

Aura is unique as a software company driving sustainable profit through sales of a digital frame. I’m the CTO looking to work in person with a Ruby engineer on integrating our sources of orders: Marketing, EDI, Amazon, Shopify, both US and international, with 3PL's shipping, inventory management, tracking into our ERP (NetSuite) to extract business intelligence from our commerce data. This is an opportunity to grow into not only building the tools that help us drive profits but also doing the analytics that derive insights / strategy from them.

But is the “undue” stress of a taught wire actually a problem for typical weights?

Aura is sort of a hybrid: we’re building a photo sharing network but the destination is our digital frames, so now that we’re running at scale we spend at least as much energy on software as hardware: https://auraframes.com/careers

It seems like both bad journalism and irresponsible social media spreading of misinformation are problems. We're better served by working each problem than debating which one holds more "responsibility."

Also the second sentence of your about page is: Recommended by The New York Times as “one of the most interesting sources of analysis on any subject”

Does anybody have this data about letters? We need a canary letter mailing service for analytics.
Re:Meet Steven, the context-aware, lifelogging emoji app on Thursday September 04, 2014 @05:08PM (#8270653)
we're a small team so we started on ios, but it would be fun to implement this on android since it has a lot more access to sensors and control over what happens in the background. we'll likely iterate a bit more before starting on the port though.

I'm one of the developers. Would love to hear people's feedback. We're trying to create an automatic but fun way to stay connected, and building some interesting contextual awareness along the way, e.g. https://steventheapp.com/e/Q1fJnL/subway
Great reflective post on diving into a startup from another world (in this case finance)
