As the Clinical Evaluation Lead you will bring your clinical and evaluation expertise into a fastâmoving, technologyâdriven environment. While a member of the Clinical Affairs team, you will work dayâtoâday with product, engineering, data science, and AI teams to define, test, and maintain the quality bar for Ouraâs AIâpowered health experiences. Youâre the clinicianâscientist who translates our clinical stance and risk thresholds into clear evaluation suites, go/noâgo criteria, and monitoring patterns that keep our guidance safe, trustworthy, and easy to explain. What you will do: Build trust in Ouraâs AIâpowered health experiences Help define what âgood enough to shipâ means for AI behavior across higherârisk journeys, with a focus on member safety, appropriate use of data, and clear boundaries between wellness and clinical advice. Design and run clinical evaluation suites Translate highâlevel evaluation strategy and risk tiers into concrete evaluation plans: scenario libraries, scoring rubrics, and pass/fail criteria that systematically test safety, data use, and communication quality for each release. Turn evaluation results into clear product decisions Summarize evaluation outcomes into concise, decisionâready views for product managers and clinical leadership â including go/noâgo recommendations, key risks, and trends over time (for example where quality is improving or regressing). Make evaluation repeatable and scalable Develop templates, checklists, and playbooks so new AI journeys can plug into existing evaluation patterns, rather than starting from scratch. Work with technical partners to connect these suites to internal evaluation tools and release workflows. Collaborate crossâfunctionally on risk and guardrails Partner with product, engineering, data science, clinical, regulatory, and outcomes teams to align on evaluation requirements, launch criteria, and monitoring plans. Proactively anticipate risks, communicate clearly about tradeâoffs, and maintain a collaborative mindset.

Hands-on experience designing or running evaluation or validation workflows for algorithms, AI/ML models, or clinical decision support tools (you have been accountable for safety and correctness, even if you were not the statistician). Strong clinical literacy and comfort reasoning about symptoms, risk factors, guidelines, and escalation thresholds across common cardiometabolic and general medical scenarios. Proven ability to work effectively with Product, Engineering, Data Science, and Regulatory/Clinical Affairs, and to influence without direct authority. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to turn complex evaluation concepts into clear frameworks and oneâpage summaries for diverse audiences, including leadership. Preferred qualifications: Experience evaluating or building AIâpowered health applications (for example health coaches, symptom tools, or AIâgenerated health content) or other highârisk digital health systems. Familiarity with evaluation and observability tooling (whether commercial platforms or internal frameworks) for monitoring AI behavior over time.

Comfort collaborating on data pipelines and evaluation scripts (for example basic familiarity with SQL/Python or equivalent experience working closely with data and engineering teams). Why youâll love working here: Step in as a direct contributor to Ouraâs vision, working deeply with crossâfunctional colleagues as we expand from wellness into more advanced health and AIâenabled experiences. Make a direct impact on millions of members by helping ensure Ouraâs AIâpowered guidance is safe, clinically grounded, and emotionally intelligent.
