Senior Data Scientist, Oura, NY, US

At Oura, our mission is to empower every person to own their inner potential. With our award-winning Oura Ring and app, we help over 2.5 million people turn insights about sleep, activity, and readiness into healthier, more balanced lives. We believe that starts from within — by creating a culture where our team feels supported, included, and inspired to do their best work. Our values guide how we show up for each other and our community every day.

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to join our Performance Squad. This squad is dedicated to building advanced, high-impact features for athletes and highly active members seeking to optimize their physical performance. In this role, you will move beyond foundational tracking to provide our members with actionable coaching and personalized insights that help them achieve their training goals. You will be leading the charge on developing novel running dynamics algorithms (e.g., cadence, ground contact time), creating a data-driven form coaching experience, and building the analytical foundation for structured workout tracking.

This is a remote US role with a strong preference for candidates based in the US Eastern Time Zone.

• Lead Algorithm Development: Lead the end-to-end research, prototyping, and development of novel algorithms for advanced activity analysis, with an initial focus on running dynamics and advanced activity metrics.
• Build & Deploy ML Models: Design, build, and deploy production-grade ML models that translate complex sensor data into personalized, actionable insights for Oura members.
• Own the Data Science Lifecycle: Take full ownership of projects from initial data exploration and signal processing through to robust validation, deployment, and post-launch monitoring and iteration.
• Influence the Product Roadmap: Partner closely with Product, Engineering, and Design to define the technical vision and roadmap for the Performance squad, ensuring our work is scientifically rigorous and delivers tangible member value.
• Mentor and Elevate: Act as a technical leader and mentor for other data scientists, sharing your expertise and helping to elevate the team's best practices in signal processing, machine learning, and code quality.
