Position Overview

  • Location Type: Remote
  • Job Type: Full-time
  • Salary: $182,000 - $228,000

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.

Our engineering team comprises talented Android and iOS developers across the EU and US, collaborating closely regardless of location. Engineers work in autonomous, cross-functional squads, taking full ownership of their projects from conception to maintenance.
