Data Science Technical Lead (Health)
Boston, MA
WHOOP
Monitor your sleep, strain, recovery, and health with the most advanced fitness and health wearable available today. WHOOP helps you discover data-driven insights for a healthier, more empowered life.
At WHOOP, we're on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers its members to perform at a higher level through a deeper understanding of their bodies and daily lives.
As the Technical Lead for Health Data Science, you’ll develop technology at the core of the business. In collaboration with clinicians, research scientists, and product managers, the Health Data Science team builds features that enable members to improve their health and better understand their bodies. Leveraging various data sources to combine WHOOP data with “gold standard” truth data, as well as drawing upon clinical theory and evidence, you will lead a team to design, train, and deploy machine learning algorithms to provide insights to members on a wide range of topics. Your team’s work will span the spectrum from general wellness features to regulated Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) projects. You’ll work closely with the software, regulatory, and clinical teams on designing, implementing, and maintaining processes for the development life cycle of SaMD applications, including defining design inputs, architecting and training clinical algorithms, developing testing frameworks, writing model documentation, and conducting clinical validation.
This role is based in the WHOOP office located in Boston, MA. The successful candidate must be prepared to relocate if necessary to work out of the Boston, MA office.
Interested in the role, but don’t meet every qualification? We encourage you to still apply! At WHOOP, we believe there is much more to a candidate than what is written on paper, and we value character as much as experience. As we continue to build a diverse and inclusive environment, we encourage anyone who is interested in this role to apply.
