Quality Assurance Specialist

About BlaBlaCar Daily

We're looking for people to join our journey on BlaBlaCar Daily. We are an independent business unit of about 15 people who are passionate about building the best short distance carpooling solution. We are actively developing and testing the product in France and Switzerland with thousands of daily carpoolers. You will join a small team of engineers at an early stage in the project.

The current project goal is to iterate quickly and take over the commuting carpooling market. Our team is composed of experienced people that have worked on successful services before. The job provides a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. We operate independently and as part of BlaBlaCar, the world's leading carpooling platform. BlaBlaCar has been created with one dream in mind: leveraging technology to fill the millions of empty seats on the road.

We offer long- and short-distance carpooling as well as a bus marketplace, with the mission to become the go-to marketplace for shared road mobility.

Your Mission

The BlaBlaCar QA team is expanding (we are currently 6 awesome team members!) and we want to make sure that our product quality is unrivaled and our members have the best experience with our different apps. Our fun & serious team cares the most about quality and thanks to this approach we have the trust of the whole engineering and product teams.
