Software Developer in Test (SDET)

Bold Metrics is changing the way the world's most innovative brands design, produce and sell apparel by deploying a comprehensive set of machine learning, data science products and digital twin technologies that accurately determine consumer body measurements with no pictures or body scans required. Ultimately, our goal is to revolutionize the apparel industry by leveraging body data to transform apparel design. Historically, apparel sizes have been generated in the absence of customer-driven body data. This has led to a worldwide apparel waste problem caused by a high rate of returns coupled with a bad consumer experience around fit and sizing, often amplified online. Along with garment sizing optimizations, the downstream experience becomes more customer-driven, leading to a significant reduction in returns and happier customers. We are a venture-backed well-funded company and work with some of the world’s largest brands, retailers, and clothing manufacturers worldwide.
