QA Engineering Intern

SE Apps is a 18-person software shop in Philadelphia. The founders still answer support tickets. Small accounting firms in Pennsylvania use our engagement letter and e-signature tool, and most heard about us from a colleague. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.
