I haven’t analyzed the whole world, but in the developed parts of Europe, EV fuel costs are clearly cheaper than ICE
The Oura ring and the Oura app (https://ouraring.com) are providing a leading solution to understand your sleep and recovery.
We have multiple software engineering roles open both in Finland, Switzerland and USA. They are ranging all the way from SREs and backend engineers to app engineers and data scientists.
A few highlights:
1. app engineers to strengthen our feature squads
A couple of examples: Senior Android Engineer, Context Squad, Finland https://apply.workable.com/oura-health-ltd/j/6D7E86D06B/
Senior Android Engineer, Content Squad, USA https://apply.workable.com/oura-health-ltd/j/F7AE093C48/
2. data engineers https://apply.workable.com/oura-health-ltd/j/A216673A96/
3. engineering manager for our eCommerce teams https://apply.workable.com/oura-health-ltd/j/0FA391EE6C/
4. Engineers passionated about eCommerce and payments https://apply.workable.com/oura-health-ltd/j/A20312045E/
In our case, we have this situation with SW vs HW shipping culture. On the SW side, we focus on continuously developing features and have deliberately emphasized productivity over schedule-predictability, while on the HW side they naturally are focused more on schedule-predictability due to complex dependencies.
Now, this dichotomy has created an interesting discussions inside the company on the right way to ship products and projects, and to me, arguments mainly come from the fact that people come from the different shipping culture and have hard time to see the benefits and requirements of the other culture.

Note: If you are interested in working at Oura, we are hiring SW Engineers both in Helsinki, Finland and San Francisco.
Current open positions can be found on https://ouraring.com/careers and new positions are opening in a few weeks.

I’m not sure why people see that an attractive way of spending their life.
Oura focuses on the night-time measurements, such as HR, HRV, temperature and sleep quality. It also tracks your daily activity and inactivity level. It summarizes all this to your ”readiness”.
Especially temperature is a game changer that no other popular wearable has.
Oura is a fast-growing consumer company that helps people track and improve their sleep using the Oura ring. We are looking for a Python backend developer to strengthen our team.
Oura offers intellectually and technically interesting challenges that differ from typical web app scaling problems. The Oura ring’s sensors have tracked millions of nights of biodata and helped people in over 70 countries to improve their sleep and recovery – and this is only the beginning. Oura’s mission is to empower people to own their potential, giving them the insight and tools needed to be in control of their life.
Oura has solid financial backing and a steady revenue stream. We are now expanding our core cloud development team to better support our rapidly growing customer base.
Our office is located in the center of Helsinki – Kaisaniemi – which is easily reached by public transportation.
As a fast-moving startup, we focus on delivering customer value and being productive. As such, we leverage AWS managed services whenever possible.
And if they are currently making close to $100M in annual revenues, then $1B valuation doesn’t seem far off.
Lock-in effect is quite substantial after you have a couple of years of tagged information.
As a user, I just wish they would have a smoother implementation of their current product-offering.
"Celibidache frequently refused to release his performances on commercial recordings during his lifetime, claiming that a listener could not obtain a "transcendental experience" outside the concert hall. Many of the recordings of his performances were released posthumously. He has nonetheless earned international acclaim for celebrated interpretations of the classical music repertoire and was known for a spirited performance style informed by his study and experiences in Zen Buddhism. He is regarded as one of the greatest conductors of the 20th century."
