QA automation and quality testing for automotive and embedded systems
AGEST is a QA-focused engineering org (125 of 127 active hires are engineers) scaling test automation across automotive electronics and autonomous-vehicle projects. Their stack spans browser automation (Selenium, Playwright, Cypress), cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Kubernetes), and data processing (AWS Glue, Step Functions, Athena), with heavy Java and Python presence. The hiring velocity and seniority mix (66 senior roles) suggest they're expanding delivery capacity to meet rising QA demand—a pain point tied explicitly to complex automotive quality challenges and knowledge gaps in-house.
