About Calm

We have a simple mission at Calm: To make the world a happier and healthier place.

The heart of Calm is digital but the brand is expanding offline into a variety of products and services that bring more peace, clarity and perspective into people’s busy lives. We are building Calm into the Nike of the Mind. We believe Calm can become one of the most valuable and meaningful brands in the world.

Over 75 Million people have downloaded the app and we are growing by 100,000 new downloads a day. The company is profitable and headquartered in San Francisco, CA.

Calm was co-founded by Alex Tew (Million Dollar Homepage) and Michael Acton Smith (Mind Candy, Moshi Monsters, Firebox).

Mission

Be part of a product engineering team that builds part of Calm, ranging from the quintessential Calm application experience to building out our B2B platform. As a backend engineer, you’ll focus on the APIs, data models and capabilities that power the Calm experience on web, iOS and Android.

Because we’re a smaller engineering team, you’ll work up and down the stack across a wide number of technologies, and will balance a number of different concerns. How should we balance the scalability of this feature with getting it in the hands of our users earlier? We’ll be looking to you to think through the tradeoffs and make the decision.
