Hire a automation qa engineer in Jordan
We recruit this role against your brief rather than from a ready bench. That is two to four weeks slower than the roles we recruit for continuously, and we write it here rather than let you discover it in week three.

Where the engineer sits
The engineer sits in our Amman office with their team and works in your tools and channels. This is the default and the fastest to start.

By level
The monthly price at full capacity, and what each level means
| Level | What we do not promise | Per month, 160h (estimate) |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh GraduateScoped tasks, reviewed daily, with a mentor assigned | No independent velocity. A more senior engineer’s review time is part of this seat’s real cost | 925 – 1,075 JOD |
| JuniorDelivers a scoped task inside an existing feature | We do not expect them to estimate their own work accurately, or to break down ambiguous scope | 1,150 – 1,325 JOD |
| Mid-LevelDelivers a whole feature without close supervision | We do not expect them to lead a new system design | 1,550 – 1,800 JOD |
| SeniorOwns a subsystem and reviews others | Not necessarily a people manager | 1,900 – 2,200 JOD |
| StaffOwns a problem that crosses several teams without managing them | Manages nobody. If you need someone to own the team, that is a Lead, not a Staff | 2,175 – 2,525 JOD |
| LeadOwns architecture and the quality bar | Not a substitute for a product manager | 2,400 – 2,775 JOD |

The bands above are remote from Amman, on a six month term, on European hours. Shifted days for the US, hybrid and on-site raise the number; the tool above shows how much.

FAQ
Before you request a seat
01How long does this actually take?
For roles where we have a standing pipeline: a first shortlist within 5 working days of a clear brief, and your interviews the week after. The actual start depends on the engineer's notice period with their current employer, and Jordanian labour law requires a month on indefinite contracts. Realistic total: 3 to 6 weeks. We publish both numbers deliberately: anyone publishing "48 hours" alone means time to shortlist, not time to start, and is offering you whoever is unoccupied rather than the best people in the market.
02Who employs the engineer? Who pays them?
Folowise employs them in Jordan on a formal employment contract, and pays salary, social security and applicable taxes. You pay Folowise one monthly invoice. There is no direct contractual relationship between you and the engineer, which is what protects you from worker-classification exposure.
03What if I only need someone part time?
That is exactly what the commitment curve is for: pick fewer hours on the role page and you will see the hourly rate rise, because recruiting, social security and leave costs do not shrink with the hours. Every role shows its published minimum on its own page, higher for engineering roles and lower for roles like QA and design. Below the minimum you probably need a short consulting engagement rather than a standing seat, and the Folowise Expert Network is a better fit; we will point you there.
04What if the engineer is not the right fit?
Within the first 30 days: tell us, and we replace at no additional fee and with no notice period charged to you. After that, a standard 30 day notice applies. We ask one thing in return: tell us in week two if it feels wrong, not in month three. Most mismatches are fixable when raised early.
05Can I interview candidates and reject them?
Yes, and without explaining why. Our assessment decides who reaches you; it does not replace your decision. If you reject three candidates in a row, we stop sending and re-read the brief with you, because the problem is probably our understanding of the need rather than the candidates.

Not the headcount. Tell us the product, the date, and what team you have today, and we will propose the shape. If we think what you need is not more engineers, we will say so on the first call.
