Senior Backend Engineer, Context Hub
Role summary
Oura is seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to join their Context Hub team, responsible for building and operating a knowledge store within the HealthOS platform. This role involves designing and implementing foundational data infrastructure, including data transformation pipelines, event-driven ingestion systems, flexible data models, and scalable data storage. You will build APIs and data contracts for LLM-powered reasoning engines and other consumers, ensuring production quality through testing, monitoring, and alerting. The position emphasizes a platform-building approach, requiring strong systems design instincts, a data-model-first mindset, and experience with AWS ecosystems. Collaboration in a globally distributed, cross-functional team is key. AI tools are encouraged to accelerate development.
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.
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.
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.
