Real results from teams who hired ReactSquad devs
Andy Booke
Founder & CEO, GridX
Industry: Energy
Country: Germany
Website: www.gridx.ai
Web development for the dashboards of IoT integrations (subsequently sold to E.ON)
The Challenge:
After raising $40M, gridX needed senior Playwright engineers fast. Their hiring pipeline couldn’t keep up with demand.
Solution:
We integrated two of our senior developers directly into their team within 48 hours.
The Results:
After a 24-months of collaboration GridX was acquired by the German energy giant E.ON. The development was continued internally based on the solid foundation built by our team.
B2B Hiring Platform
The Challenge:
Mechaniker needed a team that could build and think — not just code. Since their founder lacked a technical cofounder, we stepped in to own the product.
Solution:
We took on both full-stack development and CTO-level direction, building the platform from scratch.
The Results:
Launched the full product in 6 months — from concept to launch.

Trading platform web app rebuild
The Challenge:
BananaGun had a broken legacy codebase from a previous agency. After two years of missed deadlines and unstable releases, they needed someone who could take over and deliver fast.
Solution:
We assembled a small team of senior React developers to rebuild the entire platform from scratch. The new codebase was clean, stable, and built for scale — allowing their internal team to move faster again.
The Results:
MVP launched in 6 months, outperforming prior providers who couldn’t deliver in 2 years.

How to Hire a Playwright Developer

What is Playwright?

Playwright is an open-source end-to-end testing framework for web applications. It lets you run reliable browser tests across Chromium, WebKit, and Firefox using one API, with support for JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, .NET, and Java. Playwright handles waits, selectors, and headless execution for you, making it ideal for building fast, stable regression suites that run in CI.

Technical proficiency and soft skills

  • Strong skills in JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Hands-on experience writing and maintaining Playwright test suites
  • Familiarity with selectors, locators, fixtures, and test runners
  • Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab, Jenkins, etc.)
  • Ability to debug flaky tests and analyze test failures
  • Clear communication and documentation habits
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills

Where to find Playwright Developers

You can find skilled Playwright developers and test engineers in open-source communities on GitHub, the official Playwright channels, and quality-engineering communities focused on test automation. Many teams also source Playwright talent through senior QA/SDET networks and specialized frontend or full-stack agencies.

Freelance marketplaces and reputable automation-focused agencies are good places to find experienced talent. Or you can save time and hire directly from us. ReactSquad can match you with vetted Playwright engineers within 48 hours.

The Cost of Hiring Playwright Developers

Playwright developers usually have strong automation or full-stack backgrounds, which places them in a competitive salary range. In the US, experienced QA automation engineers and SDETs typically earn $110,000 to $150,000+ annually, depending on seniority and location. Freelance rates generally range from $70 to $150 per hour, based on experience and project complexity. ReactSquad offers startup-friendly senior rates starting at $75 per hour.

Next Steps

As you progress in your hiring process, remember that Playwright tests quickly become the safety net for every release. With ReactSquad, you work with engineers who have built and maintained Playwright suites for real products, stabilized flaky tests, and wired everything into CI so regressions are caught before users ever see them. We help you move from manual checks and last-minute fire drills to a reliable, automated test pipeline that gives your team confidence to ship faster.
