Hi, I'm Augusto. I'm a 7th-semester Software Engineering student based in Brazil. I combine a developer's analytical mindset with native Portuguese fluency to handle Technical QA, AI Evaluation, and Localization projects. I bridge the gap between language and logic. If you need someone who understands the critical difference between text meant for translation and a JSON key that will break your application if touched, you are in the right place. "Augusto provided critical feedback enabling the team to improve much faster... I fully recommend hiring him." — Philip R., Indie Game Developer Here is what I bring to your team: 1. AI Data Evaluation & RLHF (PT-BR) I stress-test conversational models (LLMs and Voice Bots) to find edge cases. Instead of just logging "it sounds weird," I provide clear, reproducible error traces for prompt adherence, logic flaws, and unnatural phrasing in Portuguese so your engineers can actually fix the model. 2. Technical Translation & Localization I localize software and API documentation while strictly respecting code syntax, variables (like {{userName}}), and tags. I also deliver perfectly synced .SRT files for devlogs and technical tutorials using industry-standard terminology. 3. Game QA & Playtesting Bringing over 20,000 hours of gaming experience, I provide high-level feedback on game mechanics and balancing. More importantly, I deliver dev-ready bug reports focusing on UI/UX clarity, input lag, and hitboxes with clear reproduction steps. My Background: Education: 7th-Semester Software Engineering Student. Languages: Native Brazilian Portuguese | Fluent English (C1). Tools: Git, VS Code, Subtitle Edit, Jira, Bug Tracking Systems. Send me a message with a quick overview of your project, and let's get to work.

Average cost of hiring a QA engineer in 2024

QA engineer rates can vary significantly depending on expertise, project complexity, industry demand, and location. Highly skilled QA engineers, particularly those in areas with a high cost of living or specialized industry experience, may command higher rates compared to those who are newer to the field.

Based on current data, here are the average rates for QA engineers:

  • Entry-level. $19 to $38 per hour
  • Intermediate. $38 to $55 per hour
  • Expert. $55 to $79 per hour

Industries commonly hiring QA engineers

Certain industries are more reliant on the expertise of QA engineers to ensure that their software products meet the highest standards of quality and performance. These industries often require meticulous testing and validation to maintain their reputation and meet regulatory standards. Here are some of the top industries that commonly hire QA engineers:

Technology and software development

The tech industry is a major employer of QA engineers, given the constant demand for high-quality software and apps. From startups to established tech giants, companies rely on QA engineers to test everything from mobile apps to enterprise-level software, ensuring a seamless user experience and bug-free performance before products hit the market.

Healthcare and pharmaceuticals

In healthcare, the stakes are incredibly high. QA engineers play a critical role in testing medical software and applications that manage patient data, diagnostics, and treatments. Given the strict regulatory requirements and the need for absolute accuracy, healthcare companies hire QA engineers to ensure that their systems are both reliable and secure.

Finance and banking

The finance industry depends on complex software systems to manage transactions, investments, and customer data. QA engineers in this field are responsible for testing these systems to ensure they operate flawlessly and securely, protecting sensitive financial information and maintaining trust with clients.

E-commerce and retail

E-commerce platforms and retail companies rely heavily on their online presence, making it crucial to have smooth and functional websites and apps. QA engineers in this industry focus on testing user interfaces, payment gateways, and overall website performance to ensure that customers have a seamless shopping experience.

Telecommunications

Telecommunications companies require robust software systems to manage networks, billing, and customer services. QA engineers are essential in testing these complex systems, ensuring they can handle high volumes of data and interactions without any hiccups, which is vital for maintaining uninterrupted service.

Common projects QA engineers take on

QA engineers are at the heart of ensuring that software products are not only functional but also reliable and user-friendly. Their work spans a variety of projects, each crucial to delivering high-quality software that meets the needs of users and stakeholders. Here are some of the most common projects QA engineers take on:

Functional testing

Functional testing is one of the core responsibilities of a QA engineer. This involves testing the software’s features and functionalities to ensure they work as intended. QA engineers create and execute test cases based on the software’s requirements, identifying bugs and inconsistencies that need to be addressed before the product is released.

Automation testing

With the increasing complexity of software development, automation testing has become a vital project for QA engineers. They design and implement automated test scripts that can run repetitive tests quickly and efficiently. This not only speeds up the testing process but also allows for continuous integration and delivery, ensuring that new updates don’t introduce new bugs.

Performance testing

Performance testing is critical for applications that need to handle a large number of users or transactions. QA engineers conduct performance tests to assess the software’s responsiveness, stability, and scalability under various conditions. This helps in identifying potential bottlenecks and ensuring the software can handle real-world demands without crashing or slowing down.

User acceptance testing (UAT)

User acceptance testing is the final step before a product goes live. QA engineers collaborate with end users to validate that the software meets their needs and expectations. This project ensures that the software is not only technically sound but also user-friendly and aligned with business objectives, giving the final green light for launch.
