Sunrise Group is building the future of sleep health by combining breakthrough technology with expert care. We started in 2015 with a straightforward idea: sleep diagnosis should happen in the comfort of your own home, not in a hospital. To make that possible, we created a first-of-its-kind chin sensor, carefully validated through clinical research, reviewed by leading sleep experts, and cleared by the FDA.
Since then, Sunrise Group has grown from a single innovation into a complete sleep health company. We now design advanced diagnostic and treatment solutions, and we deliver care directly to patients through Dreem Health, our digital sleep clinic. By serving patients in all 50 states with reimbursed care, we are making sleep treatment more accessible, more personal, and much simpler than it has ever been.

You will be responsible for building and improving back-end systems that are robust, secure, and compliant with healthcare standards.

What We Do
At Dreem Health, we believe everyone deserves the sleep they need — not just for rest, but for overall health. Sleep disorders affect one third of the population and pose serious health risks like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. For conditions like sleep apnea, up to 80% of cases go undiagnosed, leaving billions without the care they need. That’s where we come in. Dreem Health is a digital sleep clinic. We offer accessible, at-home solutions that are simpler, more accessible, and covered by major insurance plans in the U.S. Using cutting-edge technology, a user-friendly platform, and a dedicated team of sleep specialists, we empower patients to receive accurate diagnoses and personalized treatments — all from the comfort of their homes. Recently acquired by Sunrise, we’re expanding rapidly across the U.S. Join us in making sleep care simpler and more accessible to all.
