What the job involves
- We are looking for a Senior AI Scientist to join us to pioneer in the frontline of health AI

- Design and optimize generative AI models, including LLMs, VAEs, and diffusion models, for applications like NLP and time-series forecasting in the health and wellness domain. Enhance efficiency for edge AI using model compression, quantization, and knowledge distillation

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.
