Get QA Engineers
Get QA Engineers from Latin America
Quality engineers who build test strategies, automate regression suites, and think like adversarial users. LATAM has a strong QA engineering community with manual and automation expertise.
Why LATAM for QA engineering
Strong cost savings
Senior QA engineers in LATAM cost $45-75k vs $120-155k in the US. QA expertise at 40-50% of the cost, without compromising test strategy quality.
Detail-oriented engineering culture
LATAM's software engineering culture, particularly in Brazil and Argentina, has a strong emphasis on testing. QA is treated as engineering, not just bug-finding.
CS fundamentals applied to testing
QA engineers in our network approach testing systematically: coverage analysis, boundary conditions, state machines. They think about correctness, not just functionality.
Real-time collaboration hours
4-8 hours of overlap with US teams. QA engineers benefit from synchronous communication with developers and product managers to clarify requirements.
Automation-first approach
LATAM QA engineers increasingly come from software engineering backgrounds. They build and maintain test automation frameworks, not just run manual test cases.

Every candidate completes all seven stages before you see their profile. You can also run your own technical round after our screening.
* For common roles like full-stack. Other roles typically take 7 to 10 days.
CV check
Stage 1We review experience, stack, seniority, and career history against the role before anyone is invited to interview. Most applicants stop here.
Behavioral interview
Stage 2A structured interview assessing communication style, conflict resolution, ownership mindset, and English proficiency in a professional context.
Technical interview 1
Role-specificA 90-minute session covering test strategy design for a given feature, Playwright automation implementation, and API testing. Candidates write a test case suite for a provided user story, including happy path, edge cases, and negative tests. We assess their ability to identify testable requirements, write maintainable automation code, and explain their coverage decisions. We also discuss how they'd approach testing a feature that depends on third-party APIs or non-deterministic behavior.
Technical interview 2
Stage 4A second, deeper round on system design, architecture tradeoffs, and code review, matched to the seniority you are hiring for.
Take-home assessment
Stage 5A practical assignment that mirrors real work. We review code quality, testing, documentation, and how the candidate explains their decisions.
Reference check
Stage 6We speak with at least two professional references who worked with the candidate, not personal contacts.
Background check
Stage 7Verification of work history, education, and identity with written consent, aligned with applicable privacy rules including LGPD where relevant.
After our screening, you can optionally run your own technical round before making an offer.

What to expect
What sets our QA engineers apart
QA engineers who only run test cases are not very useful. Ours design test strategies, write and maintain automation, and communicate clearly about risk. They're part of the engineering team, not a separate approval gate.
AI tools for test case generation from user stories and acceptance criteria, dramatically increasing test coverage while reducing manual writing effort.
AI-assisted edge case identification: using AI tools to generate adversarial scenarios and boundary conditions that manual review often misses.
They maintain test automation frameworks as code. PRs, code reviews, and CI integration apply to their test code.
Clear communication about risk. They quantify coverage gaps and frame untested areas as risk, not just missing tasks.
They participate in requirements discussions before development starts. Catching ambiguity early is more efficient than writing test cases for unclear requirements.
