QuestHiring positions itself as a talent acquisition and recruitment solutions company providing services including staffing, contract-to-hire, RPO, market mapping, interview-as-a-service and leadership hiring. Its official website says the organization works across multiple industries, including technology, finance, healthcare and manufacturing.
QuestHiring’s official information also states that it supports permanent and temporary hiring and has global recruitment capabilities spanning regions such as the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the US.
Importantly, QuestHiring appears to be the recruitment partner rather than necessarily the end employer for this SDET opportunity. The specific client/product company is not disclosed in the supplied hiring announcement, so candidates should confirm the client name, employment model and work arrangement with the recruiter before attending the drive.
๐ผ Why This Role Is Good for Your Experience
This opportunity is particularly valuable because it targets candidates already coming from product-based companies, which generally means candidates are expected to understand engineering-driven QA rather than only execute predefined manual test cases.
For SDET-1, the role can strengthen your foundation across Java/Python programming, Selenium, API testing, SQL and CI/CD. You will be positioned closer to software engineering than traditional manual testing.
For SDET-2, the technology stack is considerably more advanced. Python + PyTorch + Selenium/Playwright + PyTest + API Automation + CI/CD can provide exposure to modern automation and AI/ML-oriented engineering environments.
The SDET-2 requirement of PyTorch is particularly interesting because candidates may need to demonstrate an understanding of testing systems that interact with machine-learning components rather than only conventional web applications.
๐ฏ Expected Interview Rounds
๐น Round 1 โ Recruiter Screening: Experience, current location, notice period, product-company background, compensation and eligibility.
๐น Round 2 โ SDET Technical Assessment: Programming, automation framework concepts, Selenium/Playwright, TestNG/JUnit/PyTest and testing fundamentals.
๐น Round 3 โ API & Backend Testing: REST APIs, HTTP methods, authentication, JSON, API automation, SQL queries and backend validation.
๐น Round 4 โ Framework/Engineering Round: Framework architecture, reusable components, parallel execution, CI/CD, Git, Jenkins and automation strategy.
๐น Round 5 โ Managerial/Client Round: Ownership, debugging, problem-solving, communication, Agile practices and real-world automation scenarios.
๐ฐ Salary Range
The advertised compensation is:
๐น SDET-1: Up to โน15 LPA, including 5% variable.
๐น SDET-2: Up to โน24 LPA, including 5% variable.
These are the advertised maximum budgets, not guaranteed offers. Final compensation can depend on experience, technical performance, current CTC, client requirements and negotiation.
๐ฅPreparation Tips
SDET-1
๐ฏ Revise Java OOP, Collections, Strings, exceptions and basic coding problems.
๐ฏ Prepare Selenium locators, waits, browser handling, Page Object Model and framework architecture.
๐ฏ Practice API testing using Postman and understand REST concepts, status codes, headers and JSON.
๐ฏ Revise SQL joins, subqueries, GROUP BY, filtering and data validation.
๐ฏ Be prepared to explain how you integrated Selenium tests into Jenkins and CI/CD pipelines.
SDET-2
๐ฏ Strengthen Python fundamentals, OOP, collections, decorators, exceptions and coding.
๐ฏ Prepare Selenium versus Playwright and understand when Playwright is preferable.
๐ฏ Master PyTest fixtures, parametrization, markers, hooks and parallel execution.
๐ฏ Since PyTorch is explicitly mentioned, understand tensors, models, inference workflows and how ML outputs can be validated.
๐ฏ Prepare API automation framework design and CI/CD integration.
๐ฏ Be ready to discuss testing challenges involving nondeterministic or model-generated results.
๐ง Skills Required
SDET-1: Java, Selenium, TestNG/JUnit, API Testing, SQL, Jenkins, CI/CD, Git, Maven/Gradle, automation framework design and debugging.
SDET-2: Python, PyTorch, Selenium/Playwright, PyTest, API Automation, SQL, CI/CD, Git, framework architecture, debugging and ML/AI testing fundamentals.
๐ Resume Tips
Your resume should immediately establish product-company experience + SDET expertise.
For SDET-1, headline your profile around Java | Selenium | API Automation | TestNG/JUnit | SQL | Jenkins.
For SDET-2, make Python | PyTest | Playwright/Selenium | API Automation | PyTorch | CI/CD highly visible.
Use measurable achievements such as โAutomated 450+ regression scenarios and reduced execution time by 40%โ rather than generic statements like โWorked on automation.โ
Also clearly mention current location, notice period, product-company name, total experience and relevant SDET experience because these are important eligibility filters for this drive.
