Talent — QA & Test Automation Engineers
Hire QA engineers who catch problems before your customers do.
Zenaide places pre-vetted QA engineers, SDETs, and test automation specialists — from manual testing experts to full automation architects — on a contract, contract-to-hire, or permanent basis.
Quality isn't an afterthought. It's an engineering discipline.
The most expensive bugs are the ones that reach production. Companies that treat QA as a checkbox — or delay it until the end of a sprint — pay for it in customer trust, engineering rework, and release delays.
Strong QA engineers aren't just testers. They design test strategies, build automation frameworks that run in CI/CD, catch regressions before they ship, and provide the confidence that lets development teams move fast without breaking things.
Zenaide maintains a pipeline of QA engineers and SDETs who understand modern testing — shift-left practices, automation-first approaches, and the discipline to build quality into the development process, not bolt it on at the end.

How we vet QA talent.
Testing methodology assessment
Evaluation of test strategy thinking — risk-based testing, coverage analysis, when to automate vs. manual test, and how to build a testing pyramid for real projects.
Automation framework evaluation
Hands-on assessment of automation skills — framework design, page object patterns, data-driven testing, and CI/CD integration. Not just running scripts — building them.
Tool and environment proficiency
Stack-specific evaluation across automation tools (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright), API testing, performance tools (k6, JMeter), and test management platforms.
Communication and defect advocacy
QA engineers are advocates for quality across the team. We assess ability to write clear bug reports, communicate risk effectively, and collaborate with developers constructively.
