Virtusan

...Virtusan is a Swiss based health coaching platform for sleep, stress and recovery that works with any wearable, including our own smart ring. We're hiring our first AI Tech Lead to build the intelligence behind our coach: turning biometric and behavioural signals into personalised programmes that help people sleep better and stress less. You’ll be the technical authority for AI across engineering; you make the calls on architecture and approach, set the standards others build to and stay hand-on in the code.

What you'll be doing1) Signal interpretation: Turn wearable and in-app data into recovery, stress and sleep insights, using personal baselines and trend detection.

2) Multi-device data: Normalise metrics across vendors, weight sources by reliability, and handle missing data and device switches.

3) Recommendation engine: Personalise protocol sequences by dose and timing with classical ML (e.g. contextual bandits, sequential recommenders or RL).

4) Feedback loops: Learn from real user behaviour and biometric responses which protocols work, and for whom.

5) Evaluation: Offline metrics, online experiments and production monitoring for every model and LLM feature.

6) AI platform: Own the roadmap, training and serving pipelines, data quality and architecture on our Python and Azure stack.

7) Technical leadership: Make and own the key architecture and modelling decisions, and write them down (RFCs, ADRs etc.) so the team can build them.

8) Privacy: Make secure handling of sensitive health data part of the design from the start.

9) Collaboration: Help product, design and marketing shape AI features and understand what the models can and can't do.

Hands on: This is a builder role. You’ll be prototyping, evaluating and taking code through to production.

Requirements
6+ years in ML/AI engineering incl. 2+ years in a lead role, with at least one product taken from zero to production

Python, FastAPI and production MLOps on Azure or another major cloud
