Hire QA Automation and SDET Engineers in India
Modern QA is an engineering role. HyrEzy finds SDETs and automation engineers who build reliable test frameworks and quality gates, and separates them from profiles that are mainly manual testing.
Automation, SDET or quality leadership?
Automation engineers build and maintain test suites. SDETs write production-quality code for test infrastructure and often contribute to the product codebase. Quality leads set strategy across teams.
Many QA resumes list automation tools while the actual work was mostly manual. HyrEzy checks for frameworks built, flaky tests fixed and pipelines owned.
What separates strong candidates
- Test frameworks designed or significantly extended, not just used.
- API, UI and performance testing in CI, with flaky tests under control.
- Programming depth in Java, Python, JavaScript or TypeScript.
- Quality measures owned: escaped defects, release confidence.
- Test strategy for microservices or mobile where relevant.
What to test in interviews
- A fifth of your UI tests are flaky. How do you fix that?
- What would you automate first on a product with no tests?
- How do you test a service that depends on three others?
- Review this test and tell me what it misses.
Common hiring mistakes
- Taking tool names such as Selenium, Cypress or Playwright as proof of automation depth.
- Hiring manual testers into SDET roles.
- Not testing coding ability for SDET positions.
