Description
WHOOP is an advanced health and fitness wearable, on a mission to unlock human performance. WHOOP empowers its members to improve their health and perform at a higher level by providing a deep understanding of their bodies and daily lives.
As a Staff Data Science Tech Lead on our Training team, you will develop algorithmic features and metrics that capture aspects of daily movement, exercise, and training. Leveraging various data sources to combine WHOOP data with “gold standard” truth data, as well as drawing upon clinical theory and evidence, you will work with a team of data scientists to design, train, deploy, and maintain machine learning algorithms to provide insights to members on a wide range of topics. As part of our production data science team, you’ll work with MLOps engineers to create and maintain robust services that host data science algorithms. You’ll partner with the product team to identify new opportunities where we can leverage our large datasets to offer novel insights to our members. This role will serve as a technical leader for the Data Science Training team but will not directly manage other individual contributors.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- In this role you will be responsible for designing, developing, and implementing WHOOP algorithms using large-scale machine learning models. These models use data collected via the WHOOP Strap and mobile application to capture unique aspects of an individual’s behavior and physiology, helping members achieve their health and fitness goals.
- Work closely with a team of data scientists in developing algorithms that power member-facing features, managing a portfolio of projects in various stages of development at any given time
- Conduct literature reviews and research projects to power evidence-based features for Members, continuously improving the teams’ knowledge of physiological and data science methods
- Collaborate with WHOOP Labs and our in-house clinical research team to design novel studies to collect “ground truth” data necessary for training machine learning algorithms
- Create, improve, and maintain production services that provide analysis for movement, exercise, and training in collaboration with MLOps Engineers
- Work with Data Engineers to improve data pipelining, tooling for machine learning, and systems for quality and validation
- Mentor other data scientists on the team, regularly providing actionable feedback for more junior data scientists on both technical and non-technical aspects
- Periodically serve as the on-call data scientist to respond in real time to incidents affecting production services
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, or a related field
- 7+ years of full-time professional experience in a related area
- 7+ years experience applying advanced mathematical and statistical techniques
- Significant experience working with time series data, preferably with wearable data applications
- Proficiency in scientific Python and SQL
- Experience deploying services and maintaining live code through logging and monitoring within a production environment
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
- We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
- Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
- The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
- Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
- We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
- We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
- From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
- We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
- If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
- EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
