Hire test automation engineers for test suites that run on every commit

A flaky test suite is worse than none, because people learn to ignore it. Cubehire test automation engineers build fast, stable end to end and API tests with Playwright, Cypress or Selenium, run them in your CI pipeline and keep them reliable as the product changes.

Vetting

How we vet Test Automation Engineers

Every test automation engineer sits the Cubehire AI interview: multiple choice fundamentals, a timed written and coding round, and a recorded video round. A person on our team then reviews the profile before any company sees it. For this role, the interview checks that they can:

  1. Check 1

    Writes a stable end to end test with good selectors and no fixed sleeps in a timed task.

  2. Check 2

    Explains why tests become flaky and how to fix the root causes.

  3. Check 3

    Designs a test pyramid for a product and justifies the balance.

Questions about hiring Test Automation Engineers

What companies ask before they hire a test automation engineer through Cubehire.

Talk to our team
Playwright is fast and reliable across browsers and is the common choice for new suites. Cypress offers a great developer experience. Selenium suits existing Java suites and wide browser grids. Our engineers work with all three.
Critical user journeys are usually automated first within weeks, then coverage grows with each sprint. Your engineer prioritizes by business risk.
Yes. Appium, Detox and Maestro are used for iOS and Android automation.
A software development engineer in test: someone who writes code to test code. It is essentially the same role as a test automation engineer.
A flat rate quoted before you interview anyone: a one time fee for full time placements, or a fixed monthly rate for contract work. There is no percentage of salary. See the pricing page for current rates.
