    About the Role:

    Pressbooks serves clients from a wide variety of backgrounds, from

    and are committed to treating all people with respect, particularly with
    diversity, equity, and inclusion in mind.

    – Assist our product/development team with manual software testing and
    participate in bug scrubs and occasional product team meetings
