  • Create, improve, and maintain production services that provide analysis for sleep features in collaboration with MLOps Engineers
  • Work with Data Engineers to improve data pipelining, tooling for machine learning, and systems for quality and validation 
  • Conduct research on the use of wearable sensors to analyze sleep physiology and the implications of sleep parameters on performance
  • Design data collection studies to improve the performance of various sleep algorithms
  • Periodically serve as the on-call data scientist to respond in real time to incidents affecting production services
