About the role

Whistleview Software's QA team ships every two weeks. We need someone who can write automated tests and still find bugs by hand. Remote within the US. The team meets in Detroit once a quarter, travel covered. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.
