By using the built-in microphone in your headphones to record the audio signal during your runs, we deliver breathing rate tracking without any additional hardware. Our sophisticate AI models are capable of previously unseen precision and accuracy in detecting breathing signals. This enables you to match your training plan precisely with the state of your body, which maximizes training efficiency, and brings you closer to achieving your ultimate performance goals.

Are you a versatile Software Engineer who pays great attention to detail and takes pride in delivering robust code which is used by customers in their daily life? Do you want to use your technical skills to shape the future of an exciting startup company? This is your chance to help build products that will have a profound impact on sports-performance and respiratory-disease related health applications.
Company description
We are a young and ambitious ETH spin-off based in Zurich. Everything we do is centered around breathing, which is a great indicator of exercise intensity, stress and respiratory diseases. In this role you will influence every step of our product pipeline.
Responsibilities
Among your main responsibilities will be:
Requirements
We are looking for a person with a few years of experience in full-stack development or someone who has recently completed – or is close to completing - a BSc/MSc degree in Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics or a related field. Experience helps, but what we really care about is flexibility and the ability to quickly learn new things. Next to the tasks listed above, you will also help us optimize our ML models, explore options to improve raw-data quality by adapting headphone firmware, immerse yourself in our preprocessing pipeline and join any other activity you deem interesting. If you’re driven and motivated enough, almost anything is possible. As we are still an early stage startup, your main motivation shouldn’t be a high base salary, but as you will be one of the first employees, you will have the option to receive a complimentary shares package. Please note that a valid work permit for Switzerland/EU is a prerequisite for this position. However, remote work from a Schengen country is possible. Depending on your current situation we can agree on an internship or full-time position. Please send us your CV in case you are interested.
