In short

Remote Pro Ai places vetted QA Automation Engineers and SDETs who engineer quality into delivery. They build end-to-end frameworks with Playwright or Cypress, add API and contract testing with Postman and Pact to CI/CD, and run load and resilience tests with k6 or JMeter.

Your SDET builds end-to-end automation frameworks with Playwright or Cypress, and runs performance, load and resilience testing with k6 / JMeter. Typical stack: Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, k6 and JMeter.

Why teams are hiring this role now

Manual QA roles are declining while automation demand keeps rising, and Playwright postings are among the fastest-growing in testing. Regulated software and super-apps now release weekly, so quality gates must run automatically in pipelines. SDETs who write maintainable test code, not just test cases, are what engineering leaders ask for.

SDET hiring FAQ

Self-serve bookings receive a shortlist within 48 hours and enterprise requests get named candidates within 72 hours. After you approve a profile and sign, your specialist is working within 4 working days, whether the request is on the bench, off-bench or on-site. When fewer than 5 SDET profiles are on the bench, we shortlist from the wider vetted network in the same 48 hours.

Pricing is quotation-based and depends on level, hours and any on-site, clearance or data-residency needs. Current bands: Mid from USD 4,670/month · Senior from USD 6,140/month · Lead from USD 7,980/month. VAT is shown separately, quotes can be viewed in SAR, AED, USD or EUR, and every quotation is valid for 30 days. The Squad Builder shows your quote instantly.

Remote Pro Ai is contractually responsible for quality. Raise it at any time: a replacement starts within 4 working days; the full handover completes in under 14 days. Your first engagement also begins with a no-bill trial, one per company: 5 working days on self-serve bookings and 10 on enterprise contracts.

This role is offered at Mid, Senior and Lead level. We never place junior profiles. A practice lead confirms each specialist’s level through a live technical assessment and reference checks, so the band on your quotation reflects scope the person has already delivered rather than a job title on a CV.

Both, plus Selenium for legacy suites. Playwright is the usual default for new frameworks thanks to cross-browser support and speed; Cypress suits teams already invested in it. SDETs choose based on your stack and existing tests, and design frameworks other engineers can maintain.

Contract testing checks that services agree on the requests and responses they exchange, using tools such as Pact. It catches integration breaks in CI, long before end-to-end tests or production, and lets microservice teams release independently with confidence. SDETs set up the broker and pipeline checks that make this routine.

Yes. They design load, stress and soak tests with k6 or JMeter, model realistic traffic and add resilience checks for timeouts and failover. Results are tied to agreed performance budgets, so releases that slow response times are caught before customers notice.

They use stable selectors, isolated test data and explicit waits, allow retries only where justified, and track flaky tests as defects with owners. Quality gates and release-readiness metrics are reported every sprint, so teams trust the suite enough to release on green.
