Our mission is to build best-in-class software products that empower our millions of customers with better control of their privacy, communications, and identity, and to do it as a self-sustaining company whose culture and practices we can be proud of. Our bestselling app Burner has been the category leader in virtual phone number apps for more than five years, serving millions of consumers with a way to generate additional phone numbers when needed, keep them indefinitely or use them only temporarily, and delete them when finished all without the hassle of wireless carriers or contracts. Burner was named a top 50 app by TIME and has been covered extensively in the press, including the New York Times who said a thin layer of privacy between yourself and the rest of the world, when needed, is hard to put a price on .

You'll partner with the engineering teams to ensure each release is thoroughly tested and compliant with set standards. If issues are found, you'll be responsible for clearly communicating what's gone wrong and expectations for that release. You'll work with the team to report on the release rollout, and triage any new issues that arise from releases. Bug and Issue Management You will be responsible for ensuring no blocking bugs are released to production and high priority bugs are considered for prioritization. You'll ensure issues are well documented, tracked, and resolved in a timely manner. You'll also be tasked with triaging critical issues that come from customer support, and working with the team to surface anything that needs to be immediately addressed. You'll need a strong understanding of what's blocking and what's a low priority.
