At Eight Sleep, we’re on a mission to fuel human potential through optimal sleep. As the world’s first sleep fitness company, we’re redefining what it means to be well-rested and building the most advanced hardware, software, and AI technology to make it possible. Our products power peak mental, physical, and emotional performance by transforming every night of sleep into a personalized, data-driven recovery experience. We are trusted by high performers, professional athletes, and health-conscious consumers in over 30 countries worldwide. Recognized as one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies in 2019, 2022, and 2023, and twice named to TIME's “Best Inventions of the Year.” We operate like a high-performance team: fast, focused, and motivated by impact. We don’t just ship; we iterate, refine, and obsess over the details that help our members sleep better and wake up stronger.
Every role at Eight Sleep is a chance to create cutting-edge technology, collaborate with world-class talent, and help shape a future where sleep isn’t passive - it’s a powerful tool for living better. If you’re tired of the ordinary and driven to build at the edge of what’s possible, this is your moment. Join us and lead the movement that’s transforming how the world sleeps and what we’re all capable of when we wake up.
We operate with intensity because our mission demands it. At Eight Sleep, we bring the same mindset as the world’s top performers: focused, relentless, and always pushing to be in the top 1% of our craft. Think Kobe Bryant’s mamba mentality, applied to bold ideas, next-gen tech, and flawless execution. This isn’t a 9-to-5. Our team is deeply committed, often putting in 60+ hours a week –not because we’re told to, but because we’re invested. We’re here to build fast, push limits, and deliver without compromise. If you thrive under pressure and want to do the most meaningful work of your career, you’ll feel right at home. If you’re looking for something easier –this isn’t it.

Most roles are office-based, and each posting sets its own terms. A San Francisco hardware prototyping role requires being on site five days a week. Three Milan engineering roles (backend, iOS and Android) are hybrid, with Remote - EU as a secondary location, while other Milan roles are on site. A small number of roles, such as a Senior Backend Engineer opening, are posted as remote, and that posting says it is open to applicants in the US and Canada. Read the location line on each role rather than assuming a company-wide rule.
The company's interview guide says everyone who joins completes a take-home assignment. Many teams use written memos to prepare for meetings, so your panel may involve teammates reviewing your take-home asynchronously, leaving comments and questions on it, and then discussing it with you live.
The careers page and job postings list equity with periodic refreshes, flexible PTO, paid parental leave, health, vision and dental insurance for employees and their dependents, supplemental life insurance, commuter benefits, and a Pod of your own. Offices have pet-friendly policies and weekly fitness classes, and San Francisco hardware postings include lunch in the office five days a week. The careers page notes that benefits may vary by location.
Many US postings publish a pay range. For example, the Senior Backend Engineer posting lists 180,000 to 210,000 USD plus equity, and the Senior Software Engineer roles for Android and iOS list 200,000 to 235,000 USD plus equity. The Milan postings do not publish compensation.
People who want early responsibility and are comfortable putting in extra effort. The careers page says "People in their 20s lead products worth millions of dollars here" and describes a team that has come from companies such as Tesla, Apple, Google and McKinsey.
