Software Development Engineer in Test

Calm is hiring a Software Development Engineer in Test to ensure its app and internal tools are reliable and well-tested. The role leads QA strategy, builds automated test frameworks and CI/CD checks, and partners with product, design, and engineering teams on releases and quality improvements.

Responsibilities:

• 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

Requirements:

• 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
• 3+ years of related experience
• Experience with a consumer subscription or mobile app at scale
• Hands-on development experience in a mobile, backend, or web codebase
