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. The
Context Hub
is a knowledge store within Oura's HealthOS platform. It ingests data from diverse sources, transforms it through both pipelines and LLM-based interpretation layers, and serves structured User Context. If Oura's intelligence systems are the brain, the Context Hub is the memory. This is an opportunity to be part of teams that are at the forefront of wearable technology, innovating and defining the future of Oura’s products through collaboration across different teams.
What You Will Do This is a
platform-building role . You'll design foundational data infrastructure that multiple product teams depend on - not ship features in isolation.
Design
data transformation pipelines
that convert raw health signals, user inputs, and third-party data into structured, queryable context
Architect
event-driven ingestion
using tools like Kinesis, EventBridge, and SQS - handling duplicate events, traffic spikes, and partial failures gracefully
Define
flexible data models and schemas
for a hierarchical health context ontology that evolves as new context types emerge
Build
multi-consumer APIs and data contracts
serving LLM-powered reasoning engines, mobile apps, and analytics pipelines through clean, well-documented interfaces
Operate and design data storage at scale
Create
SDKs and integration surfaces
that let other squads contribute and own contexts with minimal friction
Collaborate effectively in a globally distributed, diverse, and cross-functional team, adapting as Oura evolves and new opportunities emerge.
Own
production quality
end-to-end: testing, monitoring (Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry), alerting, and documentation
How We Build With AI At Oura, AI is a core part of how we build software. We encourage senior engineers to use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate pipeline development, iterate on schema design, prototype integration patterns, and reduce boilerplate - so you can focus on the hard problems. All code is reviewed and owned by the engineer. AI is a multiplier, not a crutch. We're looking for engineers who view AI as a coworker in the development loop, not just autocomplete.
Requirements
5+ years building and operating production data systems at scale in Python
Experience designing event-driven architectures - message brokers, event streams, CDC pipelines, with understanding of delivery guarantees, fan-out, and backpressure
Deep experience with data transformation pipelines - ingesting from heterogeneous sources, normalizing, enriching, and serving with clear data contracts
Strong technical grasp of AWS ecosystems with a focus on varied data storage solutions (RDS, DynamoDB, etc.), asynchronous messaging (SQS, EventBridge), and scalable compute environments like EKS and Lambda.
A data-model-first mindset - you start with the shape of the data and access patterns before jumping to service architecture
Experience building shared platforms or APIs that multiple teams depend on, with thoughtful versioning and self-service integration patterns
Strong systems design instincts - you think in terms of data integrity, resilience, and failure modes before they become incidents
Excellent communication - you explain your thinking before acting, ask incisive questions upfront, and articulate trade-offs clearly
Have a team-oriented mindset and enjoy working in a diverse environment with distributed teams
Nice to Haves
Experience with
FastAPI
or AWS Lambda Powertools
Background in health data, wearables, or familiarity with FHIR/SNOMED/ICD
A
privacy-first approach
to engineering, with a solid understanding of the best practices for handling sensitive data (PHI/PII).
Building infrastructure that feeds data to/from LLM-powered services
Familiarity with feature stores, embeddings, or vector databases
Experience in building efficient, scalable database schemas and/or query optimization
Infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK, Pulumi)
Observability tooling: Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry
Experience in globally distributed teams working asynchronously across time zones
Commitment to continuous learning. You’re someone who stays adaptable and is always looking to expand your technical toolkit as the industry evolves.
