Requirements

  • 5+ years of relevant machine learning research and applied experience.
  • PhD or MSc in machine learning, computer science, statistics, electrical engineering, or a related quantitative field.
  • Exceptional research judgment with a track record of identifying important questions, forming hypotheses, and designing experiments.
  • Deep technical expertise in modern foundation models, representation learning, large-scale training, and model evaluation.
  • Advanced proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch or JAX.
  • Strong grounding in probability, statistics, experimental design, and robust evaluation.
  • A strong record of first-author, peer-reviewed publications in machine learning, time-series, or digital health venues.
  • Demonstrated autonomy in taking ambiguous research problems from idea to working system.
  • Clear communication, intellectual honesty, and a collaborative approach.

Responsibilities

  • Shape and lead ambitious research directions for foundation models of longitudinal wearable and physiological data.
  • Own research end to end: turn open-ended questions into testable hypotheses, develop new modeling approaches, and build the datasets and experimental infrastructure needed to investigate them.
  • Establish rigorous evaluation methods that distinguish meaningful model capabilities from results driven by leakage, confounding, or fragile benchmarks.
  • Advance capabilities such as representation learning, forecasting, personalization, multimodal modeling, and generative modeling across large longitudinal datasets.
  • Drive promising model capabilities from research result to prototype, validation, and shipped health experiences for Ōura members.
  • Share scientifically important advances through publication when the work warrants it, without losing focus on product impact.
  • Collaborate with scientists, clinicians, engineers, and product partners while independently driving work through ambiguity.
