To hire software testing (QA) engineers in Budapest, Hungary, Pitch N Hire supplies vetted manual and automation testers — primarily from India — through staff augmentation, or recruits QA talent for your local Budapest 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:
Budapest is Hungary's dominant technology hub and one of Central Europe's largest shared-services capitals, hosting the regional or global business-services centres of many multinationals across banking, telecoms and manufacturing. Alongside those GBS operations sit a lively fintech scene, a well-known games-development cluster and a growing base of product startups, sustaining steady demand for software, data and QA engineers across the city and its surrounding tech parks.
Budapest talent is strong in backend and enterprise engineering (Java, .NET, C++), embedded and automotive software, data and QA, plus a distinctive pool of games-development and graphics engineers. A large multilingual workforce and top output from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) and ELTE feed the pipeline. Quality is high, but senior and specialist roles can still be competitive, prompting offshore support.
Budapest developer pay is competitive versus Western Europe while sitting at the top of Hungary's range — senior engineers often around HUF 12M–22M gross per year, higher for scarce fintech, cloud and games skills, plus employer contributions. To stretch budgets or add niche capacity quickly, Budapest teams frequently blend local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced and employed through PNH.
For Budapest scale-ups and GBS teams, PNH provides an offshore extension: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, working on strong overlap with Central European hours for daily collaboration. This adds delivery capacity or specialist skills — from cloud to data to games back-end — without setting up new Hungarian headcount or entity overhead.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Budapest 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.
