40M+ users on our platform#1 smartwatch brand in IndiaBose strategic investor

You'll own the technology that powers millions of wrists.

Every heart-rate reading. Every sleep score. Every workout tracked. Every notification delivered instantly.

Behind each experience lies a complex combination of sensors, firmware, embedded systems, algorithms, AI, and hardware. Your job is to shape that technology platform and turn emerging innovations into products trusted by millions.

This is a high-ownership role where you'll define the future of Noise's wearable technology from concept and architecture to commercialization.

The Mission

Wearables are evolving from smart devices into intelligent health companions.

The challenge isn't building another smartwatch it's building one that's more accurate, more power efficient, more intelligent, and more meaningful for everyday users.

You'll lead the technical product strategy for our wearable platforms, working across engineering, firmware, hardware, algorithms, mobile apps, cloud services, and global technology partners to bring next-generation experiences to life.

The Hard ProblemsBuilding trust from noisy sensor data

Heart rate, SpO₂, sleep, stress, recovery—every health insight begins with imperfect signals. Your challenge is delivering experiences users can rely on.

Balancing intelligence with efficiency

Every new feature competes for battery, memory, processing power, and user attention. The best products feel smarter without becoming more complicated.

Building platforms, not features





Our products launch every year. Great platforms last for many. You'll build reusable capabilities that accelerate innovation across future generations of Noise devices.
