Role

Who you are

Have a PhD in machine learning, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering, or a closely related field
Bring 5+ years of relevant industry experience (post-PhD) working with applied ML in a product setting
Have hands-on experience developing and deploying large time-series models, especially those built on sequential physiological or wearable data
Demonstrate strong programming skills in Python and experience with cloud-based ML (e.g., AWS, Github, Pytorch, Docker)
Possess a deep understanding of scalable ML workflows, including data pipelines, evaluation frameworks, and deployment to production
Self-starter and vision-driven with strong collaboration and communication skills and thrive in cross-functional settings
(Bonus) Have a background in physiology, health sensing, or digital biomarkers
(Bonus) Have experience shipping ML models in production environments and conducting real-world validation

What the job involves

We are looking for a Staff Machine Learning Data Scientist to join our Science team
This high-impact role will focus on building robust, scalable, and accurate physiological machine learning models from large-scale wearable and health datasets
You’ll work closely with cross-functional partners across product, software engineering, and testing teams to develop the next generation of Oura's health insights
Design and develop scalable data generation pipelines that prioritize robustness, reproducibility, and quality across diverse physiological signals
Research, prototype, and implement novel ML architectures for large-scale time-series modeling of health and physiological data
Build scalable training pipelines to support high-throughput model development and iteration
Design comprehensive evaluation strategies for model performance and clinical validity
Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, and validation teams to bring scientific models to production
Plan and support long-term roadmap and mentor junior team members on best practices in modeling and deployment

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 it collaborated 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. With 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 even more consumers over.
