This role is a rare opportunity to lay the technical and strategic foundation for how we assess and support our users’ wellness journeys through data. You’ll work at the intersection of health science, behavioural modelling, and machine learning, bringing innovative ideas to life, backed by real-world impact. Your responsibilities will include:

1. Design and implement the core ML systems behind a new health intelligence initiative, balancing rule-based and ML-based approaches.
2. Translate complex user behaviours (nutrition, training, physical activity, sleep, engagement, etc) into actionable, data-driven insights.
3. Own the entire ML lifecycle: from data exploration and feature engineering to model deployment and monitoring.
4. Build data-ingestion flows and automated training jobs on AWS.
5. Work closely with cross-functional stakeholders, including Product, Engineering, Design, and Health Experts, to define meaningful signals and feedback loops.
6. Ensure a high level of transparency and explainability so our users can understand and trust the results.
7. Help define the long-term ML roadmap—including opportunities in personalisation, recommendations, and behavioural nudging.

What You’ll Bring

• 5+ years of experience in applied machine learning, with strong foundations in algorithm design and data pipelines.
• Vision to architect and evolve our entire ML tech stack—from experimentation frameworks and data pipelines to deployment and MLOps infrastructure.
• Experience building and deploying ML solutions in production environments.
• Passion for innovation and turning complexity into simplicity for end users.
• Ability to independently own projects from data exploration to delivery.
• Experience working closely with product and domain experts to define and refine model objectives.

Bonus Points For

• Domain experience in health, fitness, or behavioural science.
• Experience with consumer-facing product integrations.
• Experience in a startup or fast-paced product environment.

Benefits include autonomy and flexibility, work from anywhere with optional visits to our Milan office, personalized learning budget, dedicated learning time weekly, a dynamic environment, leadership support for your career progression, and an opportunity to create significant impact in the health sector.
