About the role

We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.
As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work - both in and out of the office.
The Health Intelligence team is at the forefront of integrating modern AI and LLMs into the Oura experience, transforming how members interact with and learn from their data.

You don't need to do all of these on day one, but these are the kinds of problems you'll own:
Design and build LLM‑backed product capabilities: Ship user-facing features that use LLMs and other AI models to deliver personalized insights, guidance, and proactive notifications.
Implement safe tool-calling, retrieval, and orchestration so that AI components behave deterministically where they must and adaptively where they can.
Own evaluation, quality, and safety for AI workflows: Lead the design and implementation of evaluation frameworks and tooling to measure quality, safety, latency, and cost before and after release.
Collaborate with infrastructure and science teams on reasoning, planning, and multimodal use cases.
Partner cross-functionally: Work closely with product, data science, research, design, and content to shape problem definitions, constraints, and evaluation plans.
Design and implement services and workflows that meet reliability and performance expectations.
Work closely with product, data science, research, design, and content to shape problem definitions, constraints, and evaluation plans.
An Oura Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family
Build robust, observable, and cost-aware systems: Design and implement services and workflows that meet reliability and performance expectations.

We'd love to hear from you if you have:
Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend or ML language (e.g., Python) and comfort working with cloud-native services to ship and maintain production features.
A track record of working in product-facing teams, shipping to real users rather than only research prototypes, and caring about impact and iteration speed.
Comfort operating in a fast-changing AI/LLM domain with ambiguity, balancing rigor with pragmatism and keeping member value and safety at the center.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, including the ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders and work effectively in cross-functional teams across time zones.
Experience with LLM evaluation and tooling: LLM-as-judge, rubric-based scoring, red-teaming, prompt versioning, or evaluation platforms (internal or external).
Experience with developer tooling, experimentation frameworks, or analytics/observability products, especially internal tools used by multiple teams.
Experience mentoring other engineers or scientists, or informally shaping best practices around AI/ML and evaluation in your team.

Define the metrics and slices that matter for user-facing guidance, and integrate evals into the production pipeline.

Everyone here at Oura has a ring of their own and we are continually looking to improve employee health.
Competitive salary and equity packages

Take ownership of operational health: debugging production issues, reducing technical debt, and iterating on architecture as the AI surface area and traffic grow.
While most offers will be closer to the starting range, successful candidates' pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, internal peer equity, and market conditions.
