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.
We are looking for an experienced Staff Technical Program Manager to join the Software PMO to help us bring the best software experience to our Oura members and partners. This role will demand close collaboration with product managers, scientists, hardware engineers, and software developers to ensure the software is developed and tested to meet defined requirements. We are seeking a candidate with a strong personal drive of quality, excellence, and motivated by the desire to deliver health and activity insights that can improve the lives of millions of people across the globe.
What you will do:
While you are responsible for the technical program management, you also enjoy rolling up your sleeves and putting your hands in the mud. More specifically:
- Drive end-to-end program management activities across software engineering, product, science, and design for new health detection features, from initial ideation and feasibility studies through all phases of the product lifecycle
- Act as a liaison between Product, Software Engineering, Regulatory, Science, and QA teams through all phases of the development process
- Work with stakeholders across the organization to plan and facilitate major software feature launches in conjunction with hardware launches
- Provide regular, clear, and concise updates on program status, progress, risks, and dependencies to collaborators, engineering teams, science teams, design teams, executive leadership,and other stakeholders.
- Foster a collaborative and productive working environment with open communication to all stakeholders. Act as a liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders.
We have offices in San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles for those who prefer hybrid or office settings. Oura employees in other major cities (like Boston and New York) occasionally gather informally at local co-working locations. This role will be heavily biased to those working in the US East Coast timezone.
We would love to have you on our team if you have a deep knowledge and experience on software development for consumer software products combined with consumer hardware products. More specifically:
- 10+ years of experience working with agile development teams and familiarity with SDLC
- Demonstrated ability to assess and provide technical and organizational guidance for mobile and embedded software
- Ability to grasp and bind holistic architecture across different contexts (App, cloud, IT, algorithms, Firmware)
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal. Comfort speaking to all audiences and the ability to adapt complex challenges into tangible solutions
- Expert-level proficiency with program management tools such as Confluence, Jira, Miro, and SmartSheet including optimizing workflows for different types of programs and teams
- Proactive, strategic, and results-oriented self-starter with a strong sense of ownership, accountability, and the ability to drive initiatives from conception to completion
- Proven track record of successfully shipping multiple new, innovative products with significant sensing components, preferably in the consumer electronics or health tech space.
- Comfortable working across multiple time zones, with an index on US East Coast operating hours
Together we will continue to define Oura as a company where you can:
