Mill
Mill is all about answering a simple question: how can we prevent waste? Less waste can save time, money, energy, maybe even our planet. And theres no better place to start than food. Food waste is one of the most solvable climate problems facing us today. Plus, our trash really stinks. Its gross, heavy, and our least favorite chore. At Mill we are striving to build a better environment for all, as we take on climate and kitchen change.
Role Description:
Were looking for an experienced Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our Software Quality team and help lead our test automation strategy across the Mill ecosystem spanning embedded firmware, mobile apps (iOS/Android), web, and cloud platforms.

Interface with cross-functional leaders (Product, QA, Engineering, TPMs) to translate product requirements and feature requests into well-defined, structured test plans. Drive automation initiatives mentor QA engineers, explore emerging tools, and champion best practices in test engineering. Establish and maintain reliable processes and tooling for test script development, integration, and execution. Partner with Developers, QA Engineers, Firmware Engineers, Software Engineers, Product Managers, and TPMs to ensure robust end-to-end product quality across all layers of the stack.
Minimum Qualifications
B.S. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce clear technical documentation and architecture diagrams, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on experience using Python and Java in production-grade automation. Proven record of shipping and scaling consumer-facing products with high reliability and performance. Experience working in fast-paced, agile environments (Scrum/Kanban) with startup-level velocity. Camera systems or computer vision testing experience is a strong plus. Expertise in CI/CD pipelines and automated integration/system testing (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions). Proficiency with GitHub (version control) and project tracking tools such as JIRA.
The estimated base salary range for this position is $190k to $210k, which does not include the value of benefits or a potential equity grant. A wide range of factors are considered in making compensation decisions, including but not limited to skill sets, market conditions, experience and training, licensure and certifications, and business and organizational needs. At Mill, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role. Voluntary Self-Identification
For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the self-identification survey. Completion of the form is voluntary.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military. A "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense. A "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985. Public burden statement: This survey should take about 5 minutes to complete. #J-18808-Ljbffr
