Empowering the world starts with living our values and empowering our team. As a quickly growing company focused on helping people live healthier and happier lives, we work to promote work-life balance and ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office.

We are looking for an experienced Data Engineer to join our Research Operations team. This team leads a variety of research studies, both internal and external, to develop new features and continue to enhance the accuracy of our algorithms. Our partnerships often lead to scientific publications and provide public validation of Oura’s health sensing capabilities.

You will play a key role in building tools that are the foundation for research activities at Oura. You will work with teams throughout the company to develop new data tools and ensure the success of large data collection projects. This role requires an end-to-end understanding of data flows, including technical aspects of hardware, firmware, and software, as well as algorithm development. You will build strong relationships with current and potential external research partners, serving as a subject matter expert about our data pipelines.

What you will do:

• Design and build tools to improve the operational efficiency of Oura’s human research studies, working in collaboration with the hardware, firmware, and app teams, among others.

• Define and implement automated processes to ensure the highest quality data from studies, including smooth hand-offs to our algorithm development team.
• Own data pipelines, databases, and dashboards to promote transparency and rapidly identify roadblocks with current studies.
• Work with Oura and partner legal teams to ensure all required confidentiality, data use, and data sharing contracts are in place and upheld.

We would love to have you on our team if you have any of the following, but don’t worry too much if you don’t fill all the requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in computer science, physics, math, or a related field
• Minimum 5+ years experience in data engineering in industrial or clinical settings
• Experience in deploying data pipelines to production, including large-scale cloud deployments
• Experience in managing relationships with stakeholders

• Proficiency with both relational and no-SQL database systems, including data modeling, data quality monitoring, and data privacy
• Familiarity with multi-modal and sensor data; experience with signal processing is a plus
• Familiarity with architectural patterns and best practices
• Adaptability within a dynamic and collaborative environment
• Commitment to improve processes and reduce inefficiencies
