To hire software testing (QA) engineers in Linz, Austria, Pitch N Hire supplies vetted manual and automation testers — primarily from India — through staff augmentation, or recruits QA talent for your local Linz roles. You get testers skilled in Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, API and performance testing, integrated into your team on overlapping hours, without a local entity.
Software testing (QA) engineers verify that software works correctly, safely and at scale — spanning manual exploratory testing, test automation, API and integration testing, performance and security testing, and release quality gates. Pitch N Hire helps you add QA capacity two honest ways: staff augmentation, where vetted India-based testers join your team under your direction (skills across Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, REST-assured, JMeter/k6 and CI test pipelines), employed via PNH's Employer of Record; or recruitment services to source and screen QA candidates for roles based in your city. Adding dedicated testers is one of the highest-leverage ways to raise release quality and free developers to build, and offshore augmentation makes it cost-effective to staff QA at the ratio a fast-shipping team really needs.
We scope the testing you need — manual, automation, API, performance or security — plus the stack, tools and CI pipeline your team uses, and the seniority and ratio of testers to developers.
PNH returns vetted manual and automation testers from its India pool, screened for the exact frameworks (Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, Appium, JMeter) and domain experience you need.
You interview and select the testers, using practical assessments so you can see real automation and test-design skill, not just résumés — you keep control of every hire.
Selected testers are employed through PNH's Employer of Record and onboarded into your repositories, test suites, CI and release process, so they add quality coverage quickly.
As the product grows you add or adjust QA capacity, building automation, raising coverage and protecting releases — while PNH handles employment and compliance.
Pitch N Hire can supply testers across the full quality-engineering spectrum:
Linz is the capital of Upper Austria and the country's industrial heartland, historically built around steelmaking (voestalpine is headquartered here) and now diversifying strongly into industrial software, automation, IoT and digital manufacturing. A well-known media-technology culture around Ars Electronica sits alongside engineering-led corporates and a growing startup scene, sustaining demand for software, automation, data and embedded engineers across the wider region.
Linz talent blends industrial-automation and manufacturing software with a creative-technology and media strand, with in-demand skills in Java, .NET, C/C++, IoT/edge, data and increasingly AI, fed by the Johannes Kepler University and a strong applied-sciences pipeline. The market is less saturated than Vienna, so retention is good and costs are lower, though senior automation and data specialists can still be scarce, prompting offshore support.
Linz developer salaries generally run below Vienna and broadly in line with other regional Austrian hubs — senior engineers often around EUR 50k–76k gross. Employers scaling automation, IoT or data work frequently blend local Linz hires with offshore India-based engineers to widen the talent pool and manage blended cost.
For Linz industrial and digital-manufacturing teams, PNH provides offshore engineering capacity — vetted India-based developers, data and automation-adjacent engineers employed through an Employer of Record on CET-overlapping hours — to accelerate delivery-heavy transformation programmes without expanding local salary commitments.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Linz team's stage and workload — and mix them as you scale:
A pre-screened India talent pool means matched shortlists in days, not the months a local permanent hire can take.
You interview and choose every person; Pitch N Hire surfaces qualified candidates and handles the operational load.
Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record — payroll, tax and statutory compliance are taken care of.
Building part of your team offshore keeps comparable seniority on the roster at a lower total cost than local-only hiring.
Engineers work on overlapping working hours and inside your tools and sprints — collaboration, not black-box outsourcing.
Staffing, recruitment, EOR and the ATS/interview software come from one provider, so hiring stays joined-up as you scale.
Staffing and recruitment services, the applicant tracking software, and hiring resources — all in one place.
