Wellness • Wearables • Health

ŌURA is a company that produces smart rings designed to provide in-depth health metrics and insights. The Oura Ring tracks a variety of health-related data such as sleep patterns, heart rate, activity levels, and stress. It aims to help users live healthier and more productive lives through accurate biometrics tracked via a comfortable ring worn all day and night. With features that benefit women's health, heart health, and overall wellness, ŌURA rings are marketed as both technologically advanced and user-friendly devices for personal health monitoring.

📋 Description

• Design foundational data infrastructure that multiple product teams depend on - not ship features in isolation. • Design data transformation pipelines that convert raw health signals, user inputs, and third-party data into structured, queryable context • Architect event-driven ingestion using tools like Kinesis, EventBridge, and SQS - handling duplicate events, traffic spikes, and partial failures gracefully • Define flexible data models and schemas for a hierarchical health context ontology that evolves as new context types emerge • Build multi-consumer APIs and data contracts serving LLM-powered reasoning engines, mobile apps, and analytics pipelines through clean, well-documented interfaces • Operate and design data storage at scale • Create SDKs and integration surfaces that let other squads contribute and own contexts with minimal friction • Collaborate effectively in a globally distributed, diverse, and cross-functional team, adapting as Oura evolves and new opportunities emerge. • Own production quality end-to-end: testing, monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), alerting, and documentation.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years building and operating production data systems at scale in Python • Experience designing event-driven architectures - message brokers, event streams, CDC pipelines, with understanding of delivery guarantees, fan-out, and backpressure • Deep experience with data transformation pipelines - ingesting from heterogeneous sources, normalizing, enriching, and serving with clear data contracts • Strong technical grasp of AWS ecosystems with a focus on varied data storage solutions (RDS, DynamoDB, etc.), asynchronous messaging (SQS, EventBridge), and scalable compute environments like EKS and Lambda. • A data-model-first mindset - you start with the shape of the data and access patterns before jumping to service architecture • Experience building shared platforms or APIs that multiple teams depend on, with thoughtful versioning and self-service integration patterns • Strong systems design instincts - you think in terms of data integrity, resilience, and failure modes before they become incidents • Excellent communication - you explain your thinking before acting, ask incisive questions upfront, and articulate trade-offs clearly • Have a team-oriented mindset and enjoy working in a diverse environment with distributed teams.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and equity packages • Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources • An Oura Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family • 20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off • Paid sick leave and parental leave
