Join the Sleep Fitness Movement
At Eight Sleep, we're on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world's first sleep fitness company, we're redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience.

Every role at Eight Sleep is a chance to create cutting-edge technology, collaborate with world-class talent, and help shape a future where sleep isn't passive, it's a powerful tool for living better. If you're tired of the ordinary and driven to build at the edge of what's possible, this is your moment.

High Standards. No Apologies.
We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world's top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. This isn't a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in the extra effort, not because we're told to, but because we're invested in building something category-defining.

The Role
We're looking for a Recruiter to own end-to-end hiring for a portfolio of critical roles across Eight Sleep.

  • Advice Hiring Managers: Partner closely with managers to sharply scope roles, unblock bottlenecks, and drive a seamless interview cadence

  • Maintain a High Talent Bar: Assess candidates rigorously to ensure every single hire meets the company’s strict standards and culture fit

  • Data-Driven Mindset: Create and maintain metrics dashboards tracking the health of the hiring process to keep leadership continuously informed on pipeline velocity and conversion rates

  • Process Optimization: Continuously upgrade recruiting workflows on our ATS (Ashby) to make hiring faster, more scalable, and highly consistent

What You'll Need to Succeed

  • 2–5 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, ideally in a high-growth startup, D2C, or tech environment

  • Proven track record sourcing and closing passive candidates, with a deep understanding of how to run a LinkedIn outreach campaign that actually converts

  • Comfortable recruiting across multiple functions (e.g., marketing, web, mobile) and global regions, quickly learning the nuances of each role to get candidates excited about the company

  • Sharp judge of talent and culture fit, with strong stakeholder management skills to keep hiring managers aligned and moving

  • Experience with modern ATS tools (Ashby a plus); organized and metrics-driven in how you track pipeline health

  • Exceptional communicator, fluent in English

Why You'll Love Working at Eight Sleep

  • You'll help build the teams that power one of the fastest-growing health tech companies in the world

  • You'll have real ownership over your searches and the autonomy to run them your way.

  • You'll work with a high-performance team across marketing, product, engineering, and operations

  • You'll be part of a company redefining the future of sleep, recovery, and preventative health

What We Do

Eight Sleep is building a predictive health platform powered by sleep, now used by 200k+ members nightly across 30+ countries. Our products combine hardware, software, AI, and biometric sensing to turn the bed into an always-on system that can measure physiology, regulate temperature in real time, and adapt throughout the night to improve sleep, recovery, and long-term health. The impact is already measurable. In studies, the Pod has improved sleep quality by up to 32%, helped users fall asleep up to 44% faster, reduced nighttime disturbances by 23%, improved cardiovascular recovery markers like heart rate variability and resting heart rate, and increased cognitive performance, including a 9% improvement in processing speed. More recent research also found a 56% average reduction in nighttime hot flashes among peri- and post-menopausal women. Even after becoming profitable in 2025, we're still early. We've raised over $150M across recent rounds, including a $50M raise at a $1.5B valuation, to accelerate an ambitious roadmap into predictive, AI-driven health.

Why Work With Us

Eight Sleep develops integrated hardware, software, and ML systems that sense physiology and regulate the sleep environment in real time. The product operates nightly, creating a closed-loop system that improves sleep, recovery, and long-term health. If you're looking to work at the edge of what is possible, and make measurable impact
