Join the Sleep Fitness Movement

At Eight Sleep, we’re on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world’s first sleep fitness company, we’re redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience.

We are trusted by high performers, professional athletes, and health-conscious consumers in over 30 countries worldwide. Recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2019, 2022, and 2023, and twice named to TIME's “Best Inventions of the Year.”

We operate like a high-performance team: fast, focused, and motivated by impact. We don’t just ship; we iterate, refine, and obsess over the details that help our members sleep better and wake up stronger.

Every role at Eight Sleep is a chance to create cutting-edge technology, collaborate with world-class talent, and help shape a future where sleep isn’t passive - it’s a powerful tool for living better. If you’re tired of the ordinary and driven to build at the edge of what’s possible, this is your moment. Join us and lead the movement that’s transforming how the world sleeps and what we’re all capable of when we wake up.

High Standards. No Apologies.

We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world’s top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. Think Kobe Bryant’s mamba mentality, applied to bold ideas, next-gen tech, and flawless execution. This isn’t a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in 60+ hours a week –not because we’re told to, but because we’re invested. We’re here to build fast, push limits, and deliver without compromise. If you thrive under pressure and want to do the most meaningful work of your career, you’ll feel right at home. If you’re looking for something easier –this isn’t it.

The Role

Eight Sleep is looking for an experienced R&D Machine Vision Scientist to help us expand our product features and research capabilities. You will be responsible for designing next gen machine vision and perception algorithms that enable world-class accuracy. Today, we offer heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep, and other metrics. Tomorrow, your imagination will unlock new meaningful metrics that will induce behavior change for better sleep and better health. To do so, you will work closely with a cross-functional R&D and product development team to prototype and to ship solutions.

We are seeking someone who is passionate about health technologies and about making an impact on health outcomes. We look for people who tackle problems with a system approach, and make data driven decisions to deliver the best products to our users.

What You'll Help Build

• Design perception and computer vision algorithms
• Collaborate cross functionally to define algorithm specifications
• Design studies and curate training and validation datasets
• Train, fine-tune and validate machine learning algorithms
• Coordinate with the software development team to incorporate algorithms into production

What You'll Need to Succeed

• 3+ years of industry experience in machine / computer vision
• Familiarity with classical computer vision techniques and open source toolkits (e.g. OpenCV, dlib)
• Expertise with implementing and fine tuning open source machine learning and computer vision models
• Experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g. Pytorch, Tensorflow)
• Experience deploying ML models to compute constrained systems (e.g. ARM-based embedded Linux)
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field, MS or PhD preferred

Why Join Eight Sleep?

• Innovation in a culture of excellence: Join us in a workplace where innovation isn’t just encouraged - it’s a standard. Our flagship product, the Pod, is a testament to this.
