The role, at a glance.
Oura is hiring a Senior iOS Engineer to build and maintain consumer mobile features for its connected health and wearable platform. The engineer will own technical design and delivery within an autonomous cross-functional squad, partnering with product, design, backend, firmware, data science, research, and QA teams. Core requirements include 5+ years shipping iOS applications, strong Swift and UIKit expertise, modern app architecture knowledge, Git workflows, testing, and mentoring capability. The US-remote role prefers Pacific time candidates, while office and hybrid work in San Francisco or San Diego remain optional. The position suits a senior engineer comfortable improving a shared iOS codebase and delivering complex, quality-focused features with limited guidance.

Sample interview questions
I would explain how I clarified product requirements, evaluated architectural options, created an implementation plan, collaborated with design and backend partners, added automated tests, monitored the release, and addressed post-launch issues. I would emphasize trade-offs, measurable outcomes, and how I maintained code quality.
I evaluate the existing codebase, target OS versions, team expertise, performance needs, design complexity, and interoperability requirements. In a mature UIKit application, I may use SwiftUI incrementally where it improves development speed while preserving clear boundaries and avoiding unnecessary migration risk.
I would identify high-impact pain points through developer feedback, build times, defect trends, and code-review patterns. Then I would propose small, measurable improvements such as module boundaries, reusable components, test coverage for critical flows, linting, CI checks, and documented architecture conventions.
I communicate decisions and context clearly in written artifacts, keep tickets and pull requests actionable, and use asynchronous updates to unblock others. I reserve meetings for decisions that benefit from real-time discussion and ensure ownership, risks, and next steps are documented afterward.
I would align early with firmware and backend partners on data contracts, connection states, error handling, privacy, and test scenarios. I would design resilient UI states for incomplete or delayed data, test against realistic device conditions, instrument key failures, and validate the experience through staged releases.
About this role.
Our mission at Oura is to empower every person to own their inner potential. Our award-winning products help our global community gain a deeper knowledge of their readiness, activity, and sleep quality by using their Oura Ring and its connected app. We’ve helped millions of people understand and improve their health by providing daily insights and practical steps to inspire healthy lifestyles.
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.
Our engineering organization consists of many talented Android and iOS app developers distributed across the EU and US. All app developers collaborate closely on each platform, regardless of location or specific feature squad. For day-to-day feature work, our engineers are organized into smaller cross-functional feature squads or teams. Our squads have a great deal of autonomy and are responsible for the development and architecture of their features. Squads take full ownership of their code and handle everything from concepting, design and implementation to release, maintenance and bug fixes.
We are looking for Senior iOS Engineers (minimum 5 years of experience) to join one of our app development teams. There are several roles available covering different feature areas, such as activity and movement, women’s health, or new member onboarding. This is a remote US position with a preference for candidates based in the US-Pacific timezone. We have offices in San Francisco and San Diego for those who prefer hybrid or office settings.

- Design, build, and maintain high quality code for projects on the team’s roadmap
- Push projects forward by closely aligning with PMs and Designers
- Collaborate with other teams such as backend, firmware, data science, research, science, or QA to deliver complex mobile app features
- Work with iOS colleagues across the US and EU, to improve the health of the iOS codebase
- Contribute to technical discussions, code reviews, and platform level improvements
Requirements
We would love to have you on our team if you have:
- Minimum 5+ years of professional development experience shipping iOS apps
- Proficiency in Swift programming, UIKit, modern iOS app architectures (MVVM, MVC, TCA, VIPER, etc.) and common third-party libraries and frameworks
- Experience with collaborative development on complex shared codebases with proficiency in git, branching, and standard code review workflows
- Focus on quality through unit tests and manual testing
- Strong computer science fundamentals and design patterns
- Ability to take ownership of projects, design technical solutions, drive implementation, and deliver results with limited guidance
- Ability to mentor other engineers and increase developer productivity across teams
- Experience with Agile or Scrum processes
We also appreciate if you have:
- 7+ years of professional development experience shipping consumer iOS apps or enterprise apps and SDKs
- Previous experience in tech lead or team lead roles
- Experience with any of the following: Swift structured concurrency, Combine, SQLite/GRDB, SwiftUI, CoreAnimation, CoreGraphics, PyTorch, TypeScript, Kotlin Multiplatform, BLE, SDK development
- Experience with functional programming
- Experience with systems architecture and performance optimization
- Experience working asynchronously across countries and time zones
- Experience working with firmware teams on projects involving hardware
- Experience with app release management and CI/CD
- Experience developing software related to health, wellness, fitness, women’s health, or wearable products
- Special bonus points if you have experience with ML algorithms, encryption, data privacy or familiarity with C++
