QA Engineer | Senior

What we're building BlancVPN is a privacy product used by hundreds of thousands of people — the kind of product where a bad release erodes the exact trust we're built on. We're looking for a QA Engineer | Senior who's equally at home in manual testing and automation, and who understands that quality starts long before a release checklist.
