Eight Sleep is the first sleep fitness company. At Eight Sleep we design products at the forefront of sleep innovation. Our mission is to power human potential through better sleep, 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. Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors including Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator, it was named by Fast Company in 2018 as one of the Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics.
We've just 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. Early feedback is great, but we still have a long way to go toward achieving our mission.
That is why we are looking for a Data Engineer who can run data engineering systems in production in their sleep and who is seeking an opportunity to work at an extremely high scale to build stats- and ML-powered features and pipelines. Using the the best tools available, you will harness the high volume of heterogeneous complex data we collect to help change the way people sleep.
How you'll contribute:
- Write data applications to apply ML and statistical algorithms to enormous amounts of data for product features
- Generally contribute to improving the health and value of our data ecosystem through finding and building the best tools and infrastructure
- Work all over the stack, moving fluidly between programming languages: Python, Node, Rust, c++ and more
- Join a small, excellent team solving hard problems the right way
- Ship code frequently, own meaningful parts of our service, have an impact, and grow with the company
What you'll need to succeed:
- B.S. or higher in Computer Science (or equivalent work experience)
- 5+ years of data/backend engineering experience working on large scale systems (especially for machine learning pipelines, or an eagerness to learn how to build them)
- You have built and operated data-intensive applications for real customers in production systems
- Experience in either node (typescript) or python, along with at least two of the following: Java, c++, c#, go, rust, as well as a willingness to pick up other languages as needed
- Experience with software engineering best practices (e.g. unit testing, code reviews, design documentation)
- Experience with Docker and Kubernetes or AWS ECS
- You want to work in a fast, high growth startup environment with lots of independence and responsibility
- You enjoy working with enormous amounts of data
- You have done ops and know what goes wrong in production
Bonus Points:
- Experience with Cassandra, Hbase, DynamoDB and other horizontally scalable storage systems is a plus
- You have experience with stream data processing with either Kinesis or Kafka
- Experience with embedded development is a plus
Why you'll love Eight Sleep:
- We’re a tight-knit, passionate team that’s working to improve people’s lives by improving the way they sleep
- Leadership is committed to employees’ wellness and career development
- You’ll get a better night sleep every night; all full-time employees receive the Pod
