Who We Are:
At Calm, we have a simple, albeit BIG mission: to make the world a happier and healthier place. Through our website, blog, and app—filled with meditations, sleep stories, music, movement, and more—we’re redefining what mental care looks like in 2021 and beyond. With over 100 million users worldwide, 100,000 new users daily, and our growing partnerships with major companies, we’re having a positive effect on more and more people each and every day. And while the heart of Calm is digital, we are growing and expanding offline with a variety of products and services to help deliver on our mission of health and happiness, the world over.

- Identify the open questions in our approach to architecture and technology, and work across Calm engineering to decide and document an effective approach to compliance and security
- Work cross-functionally to implement and evolve Calm’s security and compliance strategy and toolset
- Work with senior leadership to get aligned with company-wide goals, and then use this context to prioritize technical initiatives appropriately
Who You Are:
- Familiarity with implementing, scaling, and maintaining security toolsets (e.g. SIEM, Docker Scanning, key management, etc.)
- Understanding of both long-term (e.g. OKR) and short-term (e.g. sprints) cross-functional engineering planning
- Growth mindset: receives feedback easily and incorporates it quickly
- Pragmatic: balance scrappiness and rigor
- Great technical communicator
- Strong attention to detail
- Strong product and architectural instincts
Nice-to-Haves:
