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:
Nairobi is the undisputed centre of East African technology, the city that earned the region its 'Silicon Savannah' nickname through mobile-money breakthroughs and a vibrant startup culture. Fintech, agritech, logistics and e-commerce ventures thrive alongside the African engineering hubs of global firms, and a dense network of incubators sustains new company formation. This concentration keeps demand for developers high and makes experienced talent the scarcest resource in the market.
Nairobi talent is strong in mobile and web development, JavaScript, Python, Java and PHP, and increasingly data, cloud and fintech integration work, reflecting a market shaped by mobile-first products. Universities such as the University of Nairobi, Strathmore and JKUAT supply capable graduates, and a large self-taught developer community adds depth — but seasoned senior engineers are heavily courted, prompting many teams to reinforce with offshore capacity.
Nairobi commands Kenya's highest developer pay, with senior software engineers at established tech and fintech firms often around KES 2.4 million–4.8 million gross per year, and premiums for cloud, data and payments expertise. For teams stretching budgets or filling roles quickly, offshore augmentation from India can add comparable seniority at a lower blended rate alongside local Nairobi hires.
For Nairobi startups and scale-ups, PNH supplies an offshore extension of the team: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record, sharing a broad daily overlap with East Africa Time, to add delivery capacity for growth-stage programmes without competing further in Nairobi's tight senior-talent market or raising local headcount cost.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Nairobi 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.
