About us

Eight Sleep is the world’s first sleep fitness company. Our mission is to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. We use innovative technology, detailed design, and proven science and data to personalize and improve each night for everybody—changing the way people sleep forever and for better. 

Backed by leading Silicon Valley investors including Founders Fund, Khosla Ventures and Y Combinator, we’ve raised over $70 million to date. We were recognized as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies in Consumer Electronics in 2018.

Our temperature-regulated smart bed, the Pod Pro is an absolute game changer, improving people's health and happiness by changing the way they sleep. It was named one of Time Magazine’s Best Inventions of 2019. We’re excited by the recognition and still have a long way to go toward achieving our mission. 

That's why we are hiring a UX/UI Designer with extensive experience in product design for native applications. The ideal candidate has worked within a start-up or midsize company with small squad-like teams. We are looking for candidates with a background in designing applications for consumer use -- subscription service experience is a big plus. This is the first full time design hire for the Mobile team, so the ideal candidate is someone who likes to lead, is an outstanding individual contributor, who can take ownership of the end to end workflow, is self-driven and motivated in their work. Someone with a high bar for product quality, and a passion for health tech and wellness will thrive in this role.
