About Calo (more here)

Calo is an app providing personalized meal plans for busy people through nutritional algorithms, built with love by chefs, nutritionists, and software engineers.

Launched in Bahrain in 2019, we have since expanded to 6 countries, delivered millions of meals to our customers, and are now expanding our mission of making healthy easy to retail and other verticals.

We're on a noble mission to make healthy easy. We think this is one of the most important problems to tackle in our world today. We have global ambitions - no small thinking here.

About the Calo Fellowship

The Calo Fellowship is a one-year, full-time program designed to give exceptional early-career talent the opportunity to learn by doing.

Whether you've recently graduated from high school or university, this Fellowship is built for people with potential, not necessarily experience. You'll spend a year solving real business problems, building meaningful projects, and learning alongside some of the brightest people at Calo.

This isn't an internship or a job-shadowing program.

You'll be trusted with real ownership from day one.

Throughout the year, you'll experience Calo from multiple perspectives. For the first two weeks of every month, you'll rotate across different teams to understand how the business operates end-to-end. During the second two weeks, you'll focus on your main track, working closely with your Sponsor and Mentor to deliver projects that create lasting impact.

The Fellowship concludes with Showcase Day, where you'll present everything you've built and learned to Calo's leadership team.

About the Role

As a Quality Automation Fellow, you'll join our AI & Automation Track, where you'll help shape the future of how quality is managed across Calo.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to grow, we want to move beyond manual processes and build intelligent systems that help us identify issues faster, improve consistency, and raise the bar across our operations.

In this role, you'll work alongside our Quality team to identify repetitive tasks, explore opportunities for automation, and build AI-powered solutions that make a real difference.

One of your biggest opportunities will be helping us build a network of AI agents that monitor operations across our kitchens, surface insights in real time, and allow our teams to focus on solving problems instead of searching for them.

If you enjoy technology, love solving problems, and get excited about building things that people actually use, you'll feel right at home.

What you'll be working on

• Identify repetitive quality processes that can be improved through AI and automation.

• Design and build practical solutions that make our operations smarter, faster, and more reliable.

• Develop dashboards, workflows, and AI-powered tools used by the Quality team.

• Work closely with stakeholders to understand operational challenges and turn them into scalable solutions.

• Experiment with new technologies, test ideas, and continuously improve what you build.

• Share your progress, present your work, and contribute to the future of Quality at Calo.

What we're looking for

We're not looking for years of experience.

We're looking for builders.

You'll likely be a great fit if you:

• Recently graduated from high school or university.

• Have little or no professional experience but are excited to learn.

• Love technology and are curious about AI and automation.

• Enjoy solving problems and thinking creatively.

• Learn quickly and aren't afraid to explore unfamiliar tools.

• Take ownership and enjoy figuring things out independently.

• Care about quality and pay attention to the details.

• Communicate well and enjoy collaborating with different people.

• Are resilient, humble, and open to feedback.

Experience with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Python, Google Sheets, Notion, or automation platforms is a plus, but absolutely not required.

The kind of person who thrives at Calo

At Calo, we hire for mindset first.

Our Fellows are people who:

• Stay curious.

• Learn fast.

• Take ownership.

• Care deeply about the quality of their work.

• Solve problems instead of waiting for someone else to.

• Are comfortable with change and enjoy moving quickly.

• Support the people around them and celebrate team success.

• Show humility, resilience, and a genuine desire to grow.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.

How to apply

Your application is more than a CV, we'd love to get to know you.

Along with your resume, we'd encourage you to include something that helps your personality shine.
