Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their Oura Ring and its connected app. We've helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.

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 ensure that our team members have what they need to do their best work — both in and out of the office. 

We are currently seeking a Senior iOS Engineer with a minimum of 5 years of experience to join our Software Engineering organization. This specialized role involves working closely with our Hardware and Science teams to innovate and build mobile application features for future generations of the Oura Ring.

We also have offices in San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles for those who prefer hybrid or office settings, and Oura employee hubs in major cities like Boston and New York, where employees can self-organize occasional "office days" at local co-working locations.

 

What you will do: 

• Develop prototypes and proof-of-concepts for future generations of Oura ring sensors and biometric algorithms.
• Establish the groundwork for various iOS-hosted ML algorithms and support feature teams in integrating biometric data.
• Partner closely with Scientists, Product Managers, and Designers to develop and maintain high-quality code for projects on the team's roadmap.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teammates (backend, firmware, data science, research, and QA) to advance complex mobile app features.
• Work with iOS colleagues across the US and EU to enhance the health of the iOS codebase.
• Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and platform-level improvements.

• 5+ years of professional iOS development experience with a track record of shipping successful projects

• Proficiency in Swift programming and UIKit and deep understanding of modern iOS app architectures and common third-party libraries and frameworks

• Experience with integration testing, concurrency, and multithreading to build robust and performant applications
• Experience with collaborative development and large shared codebases, with demonstrated proficiency in Git, branching strategies, and standard code review workflows

• Dedication to quality, with significant experience in both unit and manual testing.
• Solid computer science fundamentals and design patterns.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, take ownership of projects, design technical solutions, drive implementation, and deliver results independently.

• Mentorship skills to guide other engineers and enhance developer productivity across teams.
• Familiarity with Agile or Scrum methodologies

 

We also appreciate if you have:

• 7+ years of professional development experience in shipping consumer iOS apps

• Previous experience in technical leadership roles
• Experience with functional programming, Swift structured concurrency, Combine, PyTorch, BLE, binary protocols, native library integrations, ML algorithm integrations (edge computing)

• Experience with systems architecture and performance optimization
• Experience working with firmware teams on projects involving hardware devices
• Experience developing software related to health, wellness, fitness, women’s health, or wearable products
• Experience working asynchronously across countries and time zones
• Special bonus points if you have experience with encryption, data privacy, or ability to  read and debug C++ native code
