To hire developers in Chittagong, teams can recruit from the port city's growing engineering talent or add offshore engineers from India via staff augmentation when the local pool runs tight. Chittagong is Bangladesh's second tech centre, anchored by a major seaport economy and a strong engineering university. Pitch N Hire helps Chittagong employers recruit locally and build offshore teams without a new entity.
Chittagong — officially Chattogram — is Bangladesh's second-largest city and its principal seaport, giving it an economy rooted in shipping, trade, manufacturing and a maturing technology sector. Its software scene is smaller and younger than Dhaka's but expanding, supported by outsourcing firms, startups and a rising number of remote developers serving Dhaka-based and overseas clients. The port-driven business base creates steady demand for logistics, ERP and web-application talent across the region.
Chittagong talent centres on web and application development, PHP, JavaScript, mobile and increasingly logistics- and ERP-oriented engineering, backed by a respected technical university. The Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology and the University of Chittagong supply capable graduates, but the pool is markedly smaller than Dhaka's, so senior and specialist roles can be slow to fill — where offshore augmentation adds scale.
Chittagong developer salaries generally sit below Dhaka levels but remain competitive locally — senior engineers often in the region of BDT 1,400,000–2,800,000 gross per year, with premiums for specialist and cloud skills. Firms protecting scarce local specialists for core work frequently add offshore India-based engineers through PNH for broader software delivery.
For Chittagong's software houses and port-linked businesses, PNH takes on general and application-software delivery offshore: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record on near-identical UTC+6 hours, letting a smaller local team focus on core client work while offshore capacity handles scale without new local headcount cost.
Chittagong is home to Bangladesh's busiest seaport, and its technology sector has grown around that trade economy — giving the city a distinct logistics-, ERP- and web-application engineering flavour compared with capital-driven Dhaka.
Split your roles into those that must be on-site in Chittagong and those an offshore engineer can own. Pitch N Hire can recruit the local roles and augment the rest with vetted India-based talent.
Write a clear brief — stack, seniority, and the outcomes each hire must deliver — so sourcing is targeted and every shortlisted candidate is genuinely qualified for your Chittagong team.
PNH sources from its India talent pool for augmentation, or runs local recruitment for Chittagong roles, screening every candidate with structured interviews and skills assessments.
You interview your shortlist with structured scorecards and make every hiring decision — PNH surfaces qualified people; you choose who joins.
Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record and onboarded into your tools and sprints, so your Chittagong team gains capacity in weeks — then scales up or down as needed.
Whether you recruit locally or build an offshore team, Pitch N Hire helps Chittagong companies hire across the full engineering stack and the roles around it:
Matched shortlists from a pre-vetted India talent pool in days — far quicker than a local Chittagong permanent hire.
You interview and choose every person; PNH surfaces qualified candidates and handles the operational load.
Offshore hires are employed through PNH's India Employer of Record — payroll, tax and compliance taken care of.
Building part of your Chittagong team offshore keeps comparable seniority at a lower total cost.
Recruit for on-site roles and augment with offshore engineers — one partner for both motions.
The ATS and interview software keep sourcing, interviewing and decisions joined-up as you scale.
Staffing and recruitment services, the applicant tracking software, and hiring resources — all in one place.
