QA Testing Companies in Hyderabad & Pune (2026): Remote & Hybrid Options

Hyderabad and Pune are two of India’s biggest markets for QA and software testing jobs. Both cities host global technology companies, banking and pharma capability centres, and every large IT services firm — and both have a growing number of hybrid and remote roles. Many testers search for “remote testing companies in Hyderabad” or “in Pune”, but the real answer depends on the type of company and the team you join.

This guide lists the kinds of companies and well-known employers that hire testers in each city, the IT areas where their offices are, what work mode is common, and a practical way to find remote and hybrid QA openings every day.

Key takeaways

• Large IT services companies and capability centres in Hyderabad and Pune mostly work hybrid — a few office days a week.
• Fully remote QA roles come more often from startups, SaaS product companies and international clients.
• In Hyderabad, most QA jobs are around HITEC City, Gachibowli and the Financial District; in Pune, around Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Magarpatta.
• Always confirm the work mode in the job description or first HR call — it differs by team, not just by company.

Remote vs hybrid QA jobs in 2026: what to expect

Most medium and large employers in India now follow a hybrid model for testers: you are attached to an office in the city and go in on fixed days, with the rest of the week from home. Fully remote QA roles exist, but they are usually offered by product startups, SaaS companies with distributed teams, QA service firms working for overseas clients, and contract or freelance projects.

That is why living in Hyderabad or Pune is an advantage even if you want remote work: you can apply to hybrid roles in your city and to remote roles anywhere in India.

QA companies in Hyderabad

Most testing jobs in Hyderabad are in HITEC City, Madhapur, Gachibowli, Kondapur and the Financial District. The city is especially strong for product companies and global capability centres (GCCs).

Global technology and product companies

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Qualcomm and Oracle all run large Hyderabad offices. QA roles here are often SDET or automation focused, with strong expectations in coding, API testing and CI/CD.

Banking, finance and pharma capability centres

JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte and Novartis are among the big names with Hyderabad centres. Testers here work on banking platforms, data pipelines and regulated healthcare software, so domain knowledge and careful test documentation matter.

IT services companies

TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Tech Mahindra, Cognizant, HCLTech, Accenture and Capgemini all hire testers in Hyderabad — including many fresher and manual testing roles that later move into automation.

How to get a remote or hybrid QA job from Hyderabad or Pune

• Search smart: on job portals and LinkedIn, combine your skill with “remote” or “hybrid” and set the location to your city plus “India”.
• Ask early: confirm office days and location in the first HR call so you do not waste interview rounds.
• Show remote-ready skills: clear written bug reports, Jira, Git, and CI tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
• Keep a portfolio: a small automation project on GitHub (Selenium or Playwright plus API tests) proves you can work independently.
• Prepare well: revise our QA interview questions bank — Selenium, manual, API and SQL.
