Hire a QA engineer
Finds what is broken before your customers do, and writes it down so it stays found.
Rates last reviewed 2026-08-15. A single role can sit below our blended engagement floor of $55 per hour, because the floor applies to a whole project team rather than to one person.
What this role does here
- Test plans for the flows that carry money or data
- Automated checks in the pipeline, not on somebody laptop
- Regression suites that fail loudly rather than flake quietly
- Release checks with a written result, so a release can be refused
When you need one
Releases keep breaking things that used to work, or the product now has more paths than one person can hold in their head.
The critical path automated end to end, and a list of the defects already sitting in production that nobody had reported yet.
How the engagement works
The same terms as any other project with us. Nothing on this page is a different contract.
The contract is with our American company, whoever does the work and wherever they sit.
You meet the person before the engagement starts, and they stay on it.
Time and materials with a ceiling you set, or a fixed price for defined scope.
Code, design files and accounts transfer to you. 30 days of defect fixes after handover.
Where this role usually works
All servicesWeb platforms, internal systems and mobile apps built to run in production for years, not to demo well once. We take the product from a written scope to a deployed system with monitoring, backups and a team that can hand it over.
Marketing sites, customer portals and subscription products, from the design system to the billing. Built so your own team can edit the content and read the numbers without opening a ticket with us.
Questions about this role
Why is the QA rate lower than the others?
+
Because the role never staffs a project alone. Our blended engagement floor still applies to the team as a whole, and it is published on the pricing page.
Can QA start after development is finished?
+
It can, and it is the most expensive way to do it. A defect found in the same week it was written costs a fraction of the same defect found after launch.
