Hire QA engineers in India

Last updated .

HookStep puts forward India-based QA engineers, from manual testers to automation engineers who build and maintain your test suites. You tell us the product, the tools and the gaps, we send matched profiles, and you interview them.

Share your requirement

  • Web test automation with Selenium, Playwright and Cypress.
  • Mobile test automation with Appium.
  • API testing and performance testing.
  • Manual and exploratory testing, test plans and clear bug reports.
  • Running the suite in CI so every change is checked before release.

Say whether you need someone to test by hand, to build automation from scratch, or to maintain and speed up a suite you already have, and name the language your tests are written in. Include the platforms (web, Android, iOS) and your CI system.

  • You send the brief: stack, seniority, time zone overlap, budget and engagement type.
  • We match it against engineers we already know and source for the gaps, instead of pretending someone is on the bench.
  • You receive profiles against that specific requirement, with contact details masked until you shortlist.
  • You interview the shortlist yourself. Nobody starts until you have said yes.
  • Contract: the engineer works on your team for a fixed term, billed hourly or monthly against the rate agreed for that role.
  • Contract-to-hire: start on contract and convert to a permanent hire once both sides are sure.
  • Permanent placement in India: we source and shortlist, you employ the engineer directly.
  • Remote from India, or on-site at your office in India.

Do you provide manual QA or only automation engineers?

Both. Tell us the split between manual and automated testing in the brief, and the tools your team already uses.

Can a QA engineer work inside our CI pipeline?

Yes. Name the CI system and how tests run today, and we match on people who have worked with it.

How is pricing set?

Engineer rates are quoted per role, against the seniority, stack and engagement type in your brief. There is no fixed monthly rate card for engineers, so share the role and the budget you have in mind and we will tell you plainly whether we can fill it.

Do I interview the engineers myself?

Yes. You get profiles for your specific requirement, you run your own interviews, and nobody starts until you approve them.

Can the engineer work in my time zone?

Most of our engineers are in India (IST, UTC+5:30). For US or European teams we agree the required overlap hours in the brief and only put forward people who can commit to them.
