To hire developers in Kaunas, teams can recruit from central Lithuania's engineering base or add offshore engineers from India via staff augmentation when the local pool tightens. Kaunas blends software work with manufacturing, automotive-electronics and applied engineering. Pitch N Hire helps Kaunas employers recruit for local roles and assemble offshore teams without opening a new entity.
Kaunas is Lithuania's second city and a long-standing engineering and industrial centre, where a modern software scene sits beside manufacturing, automotive-electronics and precision-engineering plants. Its free economic zone and industrial parks have drawn international production and R&D investment, giving the local economy a practical, hardware-adjacent character. That mix generates demand for both application developers and engineers who can bridge software with manufacturing and embedded systems.
Kaunas talent leans toward engineering-grounded software — C/C++, .NET, Java, embedded and industrial systems, plus web and cloud development — supplied largely by Kaunas University of Technology and a strong applied-science tradition. The pool is smaller and more specialised than Vilnius's, so employers filling general software roles or scaling headcount quickly frequently look beyond the local market for offshore delivery support.
Kaunas developer salaries typically sit a little below Vilnius levels but stay competitive for the region, with senior engineers often in the region of EUR 42,000–68,000 gross per year and premiums for embedded and industrial-software skills. Firms protecting scarce local engineering specialists for core work often add offshore India-based developers through PNH for broader software delivery.
For Kaunas manufacturers and software firms, PNH takes on general and application-software delivery offshore: vetted India-based engineers employed through an Employer of Record on EET-overlapping hours, letting scarce local embedded and industrial-engineering specialists concentrate on core hardware-adjacent work without adding local headcount cost.
Kaunas hosts a Continental automotive-electronics factory and a large free economic zone, giving the city an engineering and manufacturing-software identity distinct from Vilnius's fintech-led market.
Split your roles into those that must be on-site in Kaunas 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 Kaunas team.
PNH sources from its India talent pool for augmentation, or runs local recruitment for Kaunas 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 Kaunas 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 Kaunas 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 Kaunas 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 Kaunas 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.
