[Hiring] Software Development Engineer in Test @Calm.com

Role Description

Millions of people rely on Calm every day, and you’ll help make sure every release earns their trust. As an SDET, you’ll build the automation and pipeline checks that catch issues early, lead our QA efforts, and partner with engineering, product, and design to ship the Calm app and our internal tools with confidence.

• Set the testing strategy and quality bar for the Calm app and our internal content and admin tools
• Architect and build automated test frameworks and suites (UI, API, mobile, and integration) that run reliably in our CI/CD pipelines
• Review requirements, specs, and pull requests early so issues are caught in-sprint rather than at the end
• Work with all of our consumer product teams on release planning and certification, and monitor release health after launch
• Partner with product and design (roughly 30% of your time) to define acceptance criteria and keep release timelines on track
• Manage and direct our offshore QA team, shifting their work toward automation and higher-value testing over time
• Triage and document defects with clear, actionable detail, and drive them to resolution
• Track and report on quality metrics such as coverage, flakiness, escaped defects, and release stability
• Use AI-assisted tooling to speed up test creation, maintenance, and analysis
• Contribute to feature development in Android, iOS, backend, or web as the role grows

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience as a software engineer, SDET, or QA automation engineer
• Strong programming skills in Java and JavaScript/TypeScript
• Hands-on experience building test automation frameworks and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines
• Experience testing mobile apps (iOS and/or Android)
• Experience leading QA efforts and owning release readiness, ideally with distributed or offshore teams
• Comfortable using AI-assisted tools in your testing and development workflow
