Hire Developers

Hire QA automation engineers who build tests your team trusts

AMT's QA automation engineers build and maintain automated test suites in Selenium and Playwright, and wire them into your CI pipeline so every release is checked the same way. Hire one QA engineer into your team or several, with an AMT technical lead accountable for test quality, not just test count.

Schedule Technical Discovery

Your first conversation will be with a senior technical partner, not a salesperson.

Selenium or Playwright?

The tool decides how fast your suite runs and how often it breaks for no reason. AMT engineers work in both.

Selenium vs Playwright
Factor	Selenium	Playwright
Languages	Java, Python, C#, JavaScript, Ruby	TypeScript and JavaScript, Python, Java, .NET
Browsers	Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and real Safari through WebDriver	Chromium, Firefox and WebKit (Safari's engine), bundled with the tool
Waiting for the page	Explicit waits written by the engineer	Waits for elements automatically
Running in parallel	Selenium Grid	Built into the test runner
Debugging failures	Depends on the framework around it	Trace viewer, screenshots and video built in
Best for	Large existing suites, real Safari coverage	New suites on modern web apps, fast CI feedback

Rule of thumb: keep a Selenium suite that works. Start new suites in Playwright unless you need real Safari, or you are extending a large Selenium codebase.

What a good QA automation hire does in the first 30 days

Use this to judge any QA automation engineer, from AMT or anywhere else.

Week 1: audit. Map which user journeys are covered, which tests are flaky, and how long the suite takes.
Week 2: stabilise. Fix or delete the flakiest tests. A suite nobody trusts gets ignored.
Week 3: cover what matters. Automate the critical journeys that are still manual: sign-up, payment, the core workflow.
Week 4: wire it in. The suite runs on every pull request, and failures reach the right person.

Five questions to ask any QA automation engineer you hire

What do you do with a flaky test? Listen for finding the cause, not adding retries.
How do you choose locators? Listen for test IDs and accessible roles, not long XPath chains.
What should be tested through the API rather than the UI? Listen for a test pyramid, with most checks below the UI.
How do you manage test data? Listen for tests that create and clean their own data.
What would you not automate? A good engineer has a list. AMT's is on /services/qa-automation-testing.

How AMT keeps it accountable

Every AMT QA hire has an AMT technical lead behind them, works under ISO 27001 controls, and is covered by the replacement terms on /hire.

FAQ

How much does it cost to hire a QA automation engineer in India?

We quote after a 30-minute technical discovery call, so the price reflects the role, seniority and overlap you actually need.

Should we use Selenium or Playwright?

Keep a Selenium suite that works. Start new suites in Playwright unless you need real Safari testing or are extending a large Selenium codebase.

Can a QA automation engineer test our APIs too?

Yes, and they should. API tests are faster and less brittle than UI tests, so most checks belong there.

What is the difference between a QA engineer and a QA automation engineer?

A QA engineer plans and runs testing, often manually. A QA automation engineer writes code that runs those tests automatically on every change.

How many of our tests should be automated?

The repetitive, stable and high-risk ones. See what to automate and what never to on /services/qa-automation-testing.

Tell us what you test today, how, and what keeps slipping through.
