Senior Android Engineer- Women's Health

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 2.5 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. 

Our engineering organization consists of many talented Android and iOS app developers distributed across the EU and US. All app developers collaborate closely on each platform, regardless of location or specific feature squad. For day-to-day feature work, our engineers are organized into smaller cross-functional feature squads or teams. Our squads have a great deal of autonomy and are responsible for the development and architecture of their features. Squads take full ownership of their code and handle everything from concepting, design and implementation to release, maintenance and bug fixes.

We are looking for a Senior Android Engineer (minimum 5 years of experience) to join the Women’s Health team. In this role, you will help develop features that empower women and people with uteri to better understand their reproductive health and its relation to overall health. You and your team will constantly push the boundaries of what’s possible and work together to trail blaze the future of women’s health.

We have offices in San Francisco and San Diego for those who prefer hybrid or office settings. Oura employees in other major cities (like Boston and New York) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations.

What you will do: 

  • Design, build, and maintain high quality code for projects on the team’s roadmap
  • Push projects forward by closely aligning with PMs and Designers
  • Collaborate with other teams such as backend, firmware, data science, research, science, or QA to deliver complex mobile app features
  • Work with Android colleagues across the US and EU, to improve the health of the Android codebase
  • Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and platform level improvements

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

  • Minimum 5+ years of professional development experience shipping Android apps
  • Proficiency in Kotlin programming and modern Android app architectures (MVVM, MVI, etc.), RxJava and/or Coroutines/Flow, Jetpack Compose, and common third-party libraries
  • Experience with collaborative development on complex shared codebases with proficiency in git, branching, and standard code review workflows
  • Focus on quality through unit tests and manual testing
  • Strong computer science fundamentals and design patterns
  • Ability to take ownership of projects, design technical solutions, drive implementation, and deliver results with limited guidance
  • Ability to mentor other engineers and increase developer productivity across teams
  • Experience with Agile or Scrum processes

We also appreciate if you have:

  • Experience with any of the following: Dagger, Realm, Sqlite, JNI, PyTorch, TypeScript, Kotlin Multiplatform
  • Experience with functional programming
  • Experience with systems architecture and performance optimization
  • Experience working asynchronously across countries and time zones
  • Experience with app release management and CI/CD
  • Experience developing software related to health, wellness, fitness, women’s health, or wearable products
  • Special bonus points if you have experience with ML algorithms, encryption, data privacy or familiarity with C++

At Oura, we care about you and your well-being. Everyone here at Oura has a ring of their own and we are continually looking to improve employee health and add to our benefits!

What we offer:

  • Competitive salary and equity packages
  • Health, dental, vision insurance, and mental health resources
  • An Oura Ring of your own plus employee discounts for friends & family
  • 20 days of paid time off plus 13 paid holidays plus 8 days of flexible wellness time off
  • Paid sick leave and parental leave
  • Amazing culture of collaborative and passionate coworkers

Oura takes a market-based approach to pay, which may vary depending on your location. US locations are categorized into tiers based on a cost of labor index for that geographic area. While most offers will be closer to the starting range, successful candidates' pay will be determined based on job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, internal peer equity, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future.

  • Region 1 $186,000- $203,000
  • Region 2 $177,000- $192,000
  • Region 3 $167,000- $181,000

A recruiter can determine your zones/tiers based on your US location.
