• Develop and deploy agentic AI systems in production
• Lead initiatives end to end — from problem definition and research through deployment, monitoring, and iteration
• Partner with Product and Engineering teams to translate data-driven insights into shipped product features
• Build and optimize custom AI solutions through fine-tuning, knowledge distillation, and quantization
• Help build Oura as a leader in AI expertise and infrastructure
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve the product and bring your own ideas to the table

Requirements

We would love to have you on our team if you have:

• 5+ years of experience in production AI or ML work — you have shipped models and systems used by real external users
• Strong backend engineering fundamentals — you have built APIs, infrastructure, logging, and monitoring systems for production ML or AI pipelines and are comfortable owning them on-call
• Demonstrated experience building, deploying, and evaluating LLM or agentic systems in production environments
• Strong programming skills in Python and experience with ML and AI frameworks
• Experience leading projects end to end — from research and problem definition through deployment and monitoring
• The ability to operate with high autonomy in an ambiguous, fast-moving environment where you define your own roadmap
• Strong communication skills — you can distill complex technical work for non-technical stakeholders including senior leadership

Preferred skills:

• Experience building AI agents and multi-step agentic workflows
• Experience with fine-tuning, knowledge distillation, or quantization of LLMs
• Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, CDK)
• Background in consumer health, wellness, or personalization AI
