SeniorAI/MLResearcher(FoundationAI)

WHOOP is an advanced health and fitness wearable on a mission to unlock human performance and extend healthspan. By providing members with a deep understanding of their bodies, behaviors, and daily lives, WHOOP empowers healthier choices and peak performance.  We are seeking a Senior AI Researcher to join our Foundation AI team. This team builds the multimodal foundation models that underpin WHOOP’s next generation of intelligent, personalized, and health-enhancing experiences. These models integrate data across wearable sensors, language, biomarkers, clinical information, and self-reported inputs to create scalable AI systems that understand human physiology and behavior. In this role, you’ll serve as a senior individual contributor driving the research, development, and deployment of large-scale multimodal models. You’ll collaborate closely with data scientists, ML engineers, and cross-functional partners to push the boundaries of deep learning and ensure our models deliver measurable value to WHOOP members. RESPONSIBILITIES: - - Design, train, and optimize large-scale multimodal foundation models that integrate wearable sensor data, text, biomarkers, and behavioral data. - Conduct applied research in self-supervised learning, representation learning, and downstream task fine tuning to advance WHOOP’s core model capabilities. - Develop scalable, distributed training pipelines for large models on high-performance compute environments. - Collaborate with MLOps, data engineering, and software engineering teams to operationalize models for production deployment, ensuring robustness, reproducibility, and observability. - Partner with product and research teams to translate foundation model capabilities into downstream features that deliver meaningful member value. - Contribute to the technical roadmap and architectural direction for foundation model development at WHOOP. - Ensure models adhere to WHOOP’s standards for ethical, transparent, and privacy-preserving AI.
