Role
Who you are

What the job involves
- We are looking for a Machine Learning Data Scientist to work within the Women’s Health team to develop and commercialize novel new machine learning models and algorithms
- Build and deploy machine learning pipelines and models for Women’s Health features
- Work closely with a cross-functional team of scientists, product managers, software developers, product designers, test engineers, etc. to commercialize new features to bring value to our members
- Deliver robust statistical analyses of machine learning models and algorithms for model performance evaluation, monitoring, and for drawing insights to support product decisions
- Conduct early stage exploratory research to identify and characterize new potential health sensing features and functionality. Develop proof-of-concept features and work with a cross-functional team to take these from POC to a commercialized product
Our take
As smart watches with health and wellbeing monitoring functions are now an everyday norm, Oura is offering similar wearable technology with its series of rings. It’s one of a number of companies gaining serious traction in the market, along with the likes of Circular and Movano.
The company gained an early profile after its collaboration with Gucci which created mainstream publicity and may have given it a leg up on the competition. With the smart ring market forecast to keep growing, Oura certainly finds itself in a promising position as it moves to build out its operations and refine the product.
The bottom line for Oura will be customer satisfaction and demand, which does make its mixed reviews so far a little troubling. That said, the announcement of its new "Circles" social feature, on top of an integration with InsideTracker and acquisition of "wave to pay" company Proxy, all look set to increase the functionality of the ring and could well win more consumers over.
