About the Team

At Aurora Consumer, we are shaping America’s solar future. We connect consumers with top-tier solar installers through the nation’s first real-time solar marketplace. Our team uses modern digital marketing strategies to spark consumer demand while removing friction from the solar buying process. If you love collaboration, creativity, and measurable impact, you will fit right in.

We prioritize clarity, transparency, and optionality so homeowners understand the process and financial details of going solar, and feel confident before they connect with installers in their area. We deliver rich analytics on user behavior and site performance, and we continuously improve the experience for customers. This work matters because it helps homeowners across America adopt sustainable energy.

About the Role

In this role, you will build the end-to-end experiences that help homeowners understand their options, evaluate financing, and connect with installers in their area. You will ship across the stack and across the problem space. That includes product features, experimentation and analytics, operational tooling, and the integrations that keep the funnel healthy and measurable.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who can move fast, communicate clearly, and make smart tradeoffs. You will help the team deliver MVPs that meet business goals, then iterate with real customer feedback and data.
