From $45/hr · month-to-month staff augmentation

Engineering partner for growth-stage companies
Start with the work
Share the workflows customers rely on, release cadence and current coverage gaps. We match on relevant web, mobile or API testing experience. Agree on the risks the engineer should investigate and the evidence your team needs before release.
Discuss test isolation, stable selectors, representative data and CI feedback. Ask candidates how they diagnose flaky tests and decide what to automate. A larger test count is only useful when the results help your team make decisions.
Include exploratory testing, automation, performance or accessibility checks as required. Security assessments and regulated validation may need separate expertise. Confirm environments, reporting and collaboration with developers before the engagement.
Technical fit
Tell us which skills are essential and which can be learned on the job. We match the search to your responsibilities, then your team evaluates the shortlist.

Client relationships

“Val came through for us big time. He provided us with top-tier engineers very quickly.”

“We were impressed with their cost, speed, and having a US-based interface.”

Before you decide
QA / Test Automation staff augmentation starts at $45/hr on month-to-month terms. The final quote depends on experience, responsibilities and the agreed schedule. Direct recruitment is a separate $7,999 service per successful hire; compensation is additional. Confirm scope and included services before hiring.
Odesa reports an average of 4.2 days from contract to first interview across engagements. Timing depends on your requirements, candidate availability and interview process. Agree on shortlist criteria and a target start date during the brief; the average is not a guaranteed onboarding date.
They work remotely: offshore from the EU and Eastern Europe, or nearshore from Latin America, with overlap on US hours agreed before the start. You contract with Odesa.co, a US company in Lighthouse Point, Florida, so terms, billing and support stay in the US. If the role must be on-site or hybrid, direct recruitment covers that.
Specify your application, existing framework and CI environment. Review comparable test suites, how candidates investigate flaky failures and their approach to test data. Match on the framework you use and the testing responsibilities you need.
Yes. Staff augmentation adds a specialist to the team you manage. Define tools, responsibilities, coding standards and working-hour overlap before the engagement. Your team directs priorities and delivery, with Odesa as a point of contact throughout the engagement.
A dedicated QA engineer joins your team for ongoing testing and, where agreed, automation work. Odesa’s Human QA service is for a defined review scope. Choose based on whether you need continuing team capacity or a specific review, and confirm the deliverables and terms for that service.
Staff augmentation includes a two-week trial under agreed terms. Review fit, communication and delivery against the initial goals. Confirm notice, billing and replacement terms before work begins. Direct recruitment has a separate 90-day replacement guarantee defined by the agreement.
