Become a Pioneer in Sleep Fitness
At Eight Sleep, our mission is to unlock human potential through the power of optimal sleep. As the first company dedicated to sleep fitness, we are redefining wellness by creating the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technologies. Our innovative products enhance mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience. Trusted by elite athletes and health-conscious individuals across more than 30 countries, we have been recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2019, 2022, and 2023, and featured twice in TIME's “Best Inventions of the Year.” We work as a high-performance team: agile, focused, and driven by impact. Our approach is not merely to deliver but to iterate, refine, and obsess over every detail that enhances our members’ sleep quality and overall vitality.
Every position at Eight Sleep is a unique opportunity to innovate cutting-edge technology, collaborate with exceptional talent, and contribute to a future where sleep is an active tool for better living. If you are ready to step away from the ordinary and are passionate about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, this is your chance.

High Standards. No Compromises.
We operate with a sense of urgency because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we embody the mindset of top performers: focused, relentless, and always striving to be in the elite 1% of our field. Think of the mamba mentality applied to bold concepts, next-gen technology, and impeccable execution. This is not a traditional 9-to-5 role. Our team is deeply committed, often investing 60+ hours each week—not because it’s expected, but because we are dedicated to our mission. We are here to build rapidly, challenge limits, and deliver uncompromising results. If you thrive in high-pressure environments and seek to do the most impactful work of your career, you will fit in perfectly. If you prefer an easier path—this is not the place for you.
Your Role
As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in bringing the current and future generations of our Pod and new hardware products to fruition. You will collaborate within a small team to design and implement innovative solutions, enjoying high levels of autonomy to enhance our members' sleep experiences. Your contributions will have a direct impact on our existing fleet of Pods, ensuring a seamless and beneficial experience for our users.
This position requires full-time commitment at our San Francisco office.
