Orion Sleep
AI-powered temperature-regulating smart mattress cover
What to expect
This is a full-time on-site role located in San Francisco for a Distributed Systems Engineer, IoT. You will be responsible for scaling our MQTT infrastructure, owning major architecture decisions, and building the cloud platform on which Orion hardware communicates. If you are a generalist software engineer that has experience scaling out of 0-1 IoT systems, this role is for you.
About Orion
Orion is a personalized smart mattress cover that tracks your sleep and uses AI to cool and heat your body to the perfect core body temperature cycle. The mattress cover has embedded sensors that track biological signals such as heart rate and breath rate, turning that into advanced sleep insights without the need of a wearable.
Who We Are
Orion is led by repeat founders with multiple 9 and 10-figure exits in consumer products and health-tech. The team has a combination of technical, marketing, product, operational, manufacturing, and sleep science expertise. The founding team has previously built and sold businesses that currently exceed $2 billion in value, are doing over $700 million in revenue, and have over 25 million users.
Culture
Orion is a zero-bureaucracy move-fast culture. Everyone on the team is hired and empowered to have complete ownership over their area of expertise. We would rather hire someone with strong opinions rather than no opinions. Our software engineering team writes almost 0 code by hand and leans heavy on agentic AI tools.
Summary
We don't spend time writing a bulleted list of expectations we are looking for in a candidate.
We hire people, not roles.

AI-powered temperature-regulating smart mattress cover
Orion Sleep develops a personalized smart mattress cover that enhances sleep quality by actively regulating the wearer’s core body temperature. The cover tracks biometric data and uses an AI system to heat or cool the bed through the night, aiming to deepen sleep and improve REM cycles. It offers dual-zone temperature control so two people can set their own preferred temperatures. The product begins with an at-home sleep test using a disposable wearable sensor to map sleep patterns and temperature needs. The business model combines an upfront hardware purchase with a monthly subscription for access to the AI-powered temperature adjustments, pricing a queen-sized cover at $2,300 plus $17 per month. Orion positions itself as a more affordable alternative to high-end temperature sleep systems and targets broad consumer adoption. Its goal is to help more people sleep better and potentially support longevity by optimizing sleep quality through precise temperature management.
