About Oura

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 understanding of their body and wellbeing 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 fast-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 developers distributed across the EU and US. For day-to-day feature work, our engineers are organized into smaller cross-functional feature teams, each team owning a distinct domain. Our teams have a great deal of autonomy and are responsible for the development and architecture of their features. Teams take full ownership of their code and handle everything from concepting, design and implementation to release, maintenance and bug fixes.

About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Engineer Manager in Finland to support our Health Intelligence team. This team is at the forefront of integrating Generative AI and LLMs into the Oura experience—transforming how users interact with and learn from their data. 

As an engineering manager, you will manage a team of talented engineers and take pride in coaching and guiding them through their careers. You will manage complex engineering projects and drive them to completion in a new, quickly evolving domain. You and your team will own the team’s features and deliver against an ambitious roadmap that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible with GenAI and wearable products.

This is an exciting opportunity to shape the future of AI-driven health insights in a fast-evolving domain, backed by a strong consumer product and massive dataset.

Location: This is a hybrid Helsinki, Finland role. Nearly the whole team is based in Helsinki and we expect the candidate to come to the office at least a few days a week.

What you will do: 

• Manage a team of engineers to design, build, ship, and maintain the platforms and features owned by the team.
• Oversee and manage technical, cross-functional projects, collaborating globally.
• Contribute to the planning and scoping of critical projects and own the execution and delivery of engineering efforts.
• Work closely with Product, Design, Data Science and other teams across the organization.
• Mentor your team to develop their skills and foster professional growth.
• Provide technical leadership to your team; while you may no longer write code, you are still deeply technical and will contribute to, and sometimes lead, technical discussions.
• Evaluate trade-offs and make sound technical decisions that impact entire projects.
• Champion engineering excellence and drive continuous improvement.
• Act as the hiring manager for new developers in the team.
• Support the team in coming up with novel solutions in the fast-paced GenAI domain.

Requirements

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

• Minimum of 6+ years experience in software engineering and 3+ years managing software engineers.
• Technical degree or equivalent software engineering work experience.
• Experience shipping consumer mobile apps or their backend services.
• Experience with Agile/Scrum processes and ability to advocate for process improvements.
• Experience hiring engineers.
• Enjoy working in a mission-driven start-up environment with an ability to handle ambiguity.
• Strong communication, project management, and delegation skills. Able to drive cross-functional projects from inception to product launch.
• Strong people management skills. You proudly recognize achievements and successes and also do not hesitate to provide constructive feedback. You are open to feedback and have a growth mindset.
• Able to maintain a good work-life balance both for yourself and your team. You understand the significance of promoting well-being, managing workload, and creating an environment that supports a healthy balance between work responsibilities and personal life.
• Are interested in and follow developments in the GenAI/LLM field, and aren’t afraid to try out the latest tools and services.
• Thrive in an environment with many opportunities and high uncertainty.

Bonus points if you have:

• Collaborative development experience working asynchronously with engineering teams in different countries, time zones, and cultures.
• Experience building software that integrates machine learning models together with data scientists.
• Experience building software on top of LLMs.
• Experience coordinating and delivering complex projects involving mobile, backend, data science and QA.
• Experience delivering software products related to health, wellness, fitness, or hardware.
