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 over one million 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 looking for a Manager, Algorithms to lead a team creating new health sensing algorithms that power future Oura experiences. You'll set direction, build strong execution habits, and partner across hardware, firmware, and product to deliver algorithms that are accurate, resilient, and ready for real-world use.

This is a hybrid role based in San Diego, CA, requiring at least three days in office (at our Carmel Mountain location) per week.

What you will do: 

• Lead and grow a team of algorithm scientists advancing Oura's next generation health sensing capabilities: setting direction, coaching, and ensuring strong delivery and technical quality
• Drive algorithm strategy and execution for new sensing programs: translate product and program needs into clear technical goals, milestones, and success metrics
• Own end-to-end algorithm development from early feasibility and prototype evaluation through feature-ready performance
• Partner deeply with hardware and firmware teams to shape sensing requirements, understand constraints, and influence design decisions to improve real-world algorithm performance
• Coordinate cross-functionally with product, program management and other stakeholders to align priorities, manage dependencies, and communicate progress, risks, and tradeoffs
• Maintain technical depth as a leader: review methods and results, unblock complex problems, and uphold strong engineering/scientific standards, while enabling the team to own implementation details
• Scale team leverage by improving processes and infrastructure (reusable analysis pipelines, evaluation frameworks, documentation, etc)

Requirements

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

• PhD in biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, neural engineering, biostatistics, computer science or related field; or MS with significant relevant industry experience
• Demonstrated people leadership experience managing and developing technical teams (scientists/engineers/data scientists), including hiring, coaching, performance management, and team execution
• 5+ years of experience developing and productizing algorithms in a cross-functional environment, ideally involving sensor time-series data
• Solid foundation in time-series/signal processing and statistical evaluation, with the ability to guide technical choices and ensure rigor (filtering, artifact handling, modeling approaches, performance characterization, etc)
• Experience collaborating with hardware/firmware partners on prototype-to-product development; comfort operating with real-world constraints and imperfect early data
• Strong programming fluency in Python, plus modern collaboration practices (git, code review, testing, reproducibility)
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills: you can align globally distributed teams, make tradeoffs clear, and drive decisions with crisp narratives
• A pragmatic, delivery-focused mindset: you prioritize effectively, build team leverage, and create clarity in ambiguity
• Flexible schedule and strong async communication skills to work with Oura's Finnish teams (early morning meetings two to three times a week)
