QA Manual Tester

Job: QA Manual Tester Reporting into: VP of Engineering Location: Remote (must be based physically in Brazil)

Perry Street Software is Jack'd, SCRUFF, and BKDR.com. We run some of the world's largest gay, bi, trans and queer social dating apps on iOS and Android. Our brands reach more than 30 million members worldwide so members can connect, meet and express themselves on a platform that prioritizes privacy, security, and community. Our company puts user privacy first, and doesn't sell data or use third-party ad networks. 

BKDR is a map-based web app that provides a social, queer, and sex-positive experience for users to connect with one another digitally and in real life. Above all, the goal is to allow users the freedom to express themselves according to their own level of sexual comfort — whether that be browsing discreetly or posting explicit imagery.
