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:
Sofia is Bulgaria's capital and its dominant technology centre, home to the largest cluster of IT-outsourcing, shared-services, enterprise-software and fintech operations in the country. Global firms run substantial delivery and R&D centres in the city, and a home-grown product scene — including payments and SaaS companies — has matured alongside them. The result is consistent demand for engineers, QA and support talent, with employers competing hardest for experienced mid-level and senior people.
Sofia's talent pool is the widest in Bulgaria, covering Java, .NET, JavaScript, Python, cloud, data and QA, shaped by years of outsourcing and enterprise delivery. The Technical University of Sofia and Sofia University feed a steady graduate pipeline, while an active fintech and SaaS scene has built product-engineering depth. Senior and specialist roles still draw heavy competition, so employers frequently blend local hires with offshore capacity.
Sofia pays Bulgaria's highest developer salaries, with senior software engineers commonly in the region of BGN 70,000–130,000 gross per year, and premiums for cloud, data and fintech skills. For teams managing budgets or filling volume roles quickly, offshore augmentation from India can add comparable seniority at a lower blended rate alongside local Sofia hires.
For Sofia's scale-ups and delivery centres, PNH provides an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, overlapping much of the working day with EET, to add capacity for busy programmes without pushing further into Sofia's competitive local market or carrying new local headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Sofia 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.
