To hire software testing (QA) engineers in Lagos, Nigeria, Pitch N Hire supplies vetted manual and automation testers — primarily from India — through staff augmentation, or recruits QA talent for your local Lagos 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:
Lagos is the commercial and technology capital of Nigeria and the beating heart of African tech, home to the fintech ecosystem that produced payments companies such as Flutterwave and Paystack and a dense cluster of startups, venture funds and engineering hubs like Yaba. Demand for backend, mobile and payments engineers is fierce, and because many developers work remotely for overseas firms, local employers compete hard on pay, growth and speed of hiring.
Lagos talent runs deep in fintech and payments engineering, backend (Node.js, Python, Go), mobile and product, with a large self-taught and bootcamp-trained cohort alongside university graduates. Many senior engineers already work remote-first for international employers, which raises the bar and the price for local hires — so Lagos companies value fast, structured recruitment and, at times, offshore capacity to keep delivery on track.
Lagos commands Nigeria's highest developer pay, and senior remote engineers are frequently paid in US dollars to match international remote offers, while mid-level local salaries often fall in the region of ₦6m–₦18m a year depending on skill and employer. To manage blended cost or add niche skills quickly, some Lagos teams pair local hires with offshore India-based engineers sourced through PNH.
For Lagos founders scaling delivery, PNH can supply an offshore pod alongside local recruitment: vetted India-based engineers employed through its Employer of Record, working with strong daily overlap to WAT — India runs about four and a half hours ahead, so mornings in Lagos meet afternoons in India — expanding capacity without adding to premium local salary budgets.
You can engage Pitch N Hire in whichever way fits your Lagos 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.
