Senior Clinical Data Engineer
About The Position
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 millions of 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 Senior Clinical Data Engineer to join our Research Operations team, which drives the end-to-end execution of studies that drive new feature development and validation. You’ll manage the data that forms the foundation of our clinical trials—ensuring that data pipelines are fast, transparent, and comply with all applicable regulations. In this role, you’ll work at the frontier of R&D health sensing and gain hands-on experience with every part of the clinical database lifecycle: from design and validation through database lock and archival. Working closely with our regulatory, software, and science teams, you’ll raise the bar for how Oura runs clinical studies. This is a remote US role with a preference for candidates based on the East coast. We have offices in San Francisco, San Diego and Los Angeles 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.
