How to Hire a Software Engineer in Nigeria
Whether you're building a web application, backend system, SaaS platform, startup MVP, or enterprise software, hiring a Nigerian software engineer online has become easier than ever. Through Hamzry, you can hire verified local developers and pay in Naira using familiar payment methods like card, bank transfer, or USSD, without needing PayPal, a dollar card, or foreign bank details.
Below is a simple step-by-step guide on how to hire a software engineer in Nigeria online.
Step 1: Visit the Hamzry Website
Go to hamzry.com using your mobile phone or computer. All services are listed in Naira.
Step 2: Search for Software Engineers
Use the search bar and type “software engineer” or browse under App & Web Development categories. You will find developers skilled in backend engineering, frontend development, database development, mobile applications, API integrations, and full-stack engineering.
Step 3: Open a Service Page and Review Details
Each listing shows:
Type of software or system they can build
Technologies and programming languages they use
Pricing options and package details
Delivery timeline
Number of revisions included
Also check when the developer was last online. This helps you avoid delayed responses by choosing an active freelancer.
Step 4: Review Portfolios or Ask for Samples
Before hiring a software engineer, it is wise to request sample projects or previously completed work. This could be GitHub links, dashboards, demo links, code repositories, or documented case studies.
Step 5: Request a Custom Package if Needed
Most software projects are unique, so if the package listed does not cover your exact needs, you can message the engineer directly and ask for a custom invoice tailored to your project scope.
Step 6: Top Up Your Wallet
When you are ready to place an order, top up your Hamzry wallet via:
Bank transfer
Card payment
USSD
This is simpler and more accessible than foreign platforms that require international payment gateways.
Step 7: Place Your Order and Provide Requirements
After topping up, select the package or custom offer and provide your project details. This may include:
Project description
Technical requirements
Feature list
Existing documentation
Reference platforms or competitors
Step 8: Developer Works on the Project
The software engineer will begin building your solution and submit work progress or files through the Hamzry platform. You will receive notification by email or the mobile app.
Step 9: Review and Request Revisions
Once delivery is submitted, review it carefully and request revisions if adjustments are needed. The freelancer will apply the changes and re-deliver.
Step 10: Approve or Cancel
If the software matches what was agreed and you are satisfied, you approve the order and payment is released to the developer. If the work is not delivered as described, you can cancel and receive a refund.
Step 11: Rate and Review
After approval, you can leave a rating and a review to reflect your experience and help other buyers know who is reliable.
Escrow Protection
Hamzry safeguards your payment using an escrow system. This means the money is held securely until you confirm that the work is satisfactory. Developers only receive payment after you approve the final delivery.
