Machine Learning Lead

Eight Sleep is the first sleep fitness company. At Eight Sleep we design products at the forefront of sleep innovation. Our mission is to make people’s sleep count for more, using innovative technology, detailed design, and proven science and data to personalize and improve each night for everybody—changing the way people sleep forever and for better. 

Our mission is to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. In 2019, we launched our temperature-regulated smart bed, the Pod. It's an absolute game changer, improving people's health and happiness by changing the way they sleep. Eight Sleep has partnered with Barry’s as their Official Sleep Fitness Partner. We actively collaborate with Justin Medeiros, 2021 Crossfit Champion, and Red Gerard, U.S. Snowboarding Olympic Gold-Medalist, as well as the Mercedes Formula One team. Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors including Valor Equity Partners, Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures, and Y Combinator, we’ve raised over $150 million to date. We were recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics in 2019 and 2022.

That is why Eight Sleep is looking for an experienced ML Lead to help us innovate our product features. You will be responsible for leading a team that generates ML models and algorithms that enable exciting new health features for our users.
