Team extension
Staff augmentation and dedicated development teams in Dubai, UAE
Add developers to your team, hand us a whole project, buy hours as you need them, or have us recruit a dedicated team whose engineers you can take in-house later. Flojics runs the contract from Dubai Digital Park. The people come from our core team in Alexandria, one to two hours behind UAE time, or we recruit them to your brief, and you choose who joins.

FAQ
Interviews, location, US hours and Arabic.
What is the difference between staff augmentation and a dedicated team?
With staff augmentation, one or more developers join your team and you manage their work. A dedicated team is recruited to your needs under a long-term contract: you approve every person and set the priorities, our delivery lead runs the process, and we handle HR, payroll and replacements. With Build-Operate-Transfer, you can take over the engineers we recruited for you when the contract ends; our delivery lead and QA stay with our core team and hand over the process and documentation.
Can I interview developers before they join?
Yes. We source candidates and share a shortlist. You interview every candidate, can set a technical task and approve only the people you want.
Where do the engineers work?
Our core team works from our office in Alexandria, Egypt. For people we recruit for you, location and working hours are part of the brief you approve. Our headquarters is at Dubai Digital Park, and our Houston office is on US Central time.
How much overlap do we get with US hours?
On a standard 09:00–18:00 day in Alexandria, about 1 hour with US Central time and about 2 hours with US Eastern time. The rest of the day runs on written handovers in your tools.
Do your engineers speak Arabic?
Our core team are native Arabic speakers who work in English with international teams, which helps with Arabic product requirements, right-to-left interfaces and Gulf stakeholders. When we recruit for you, Arabic goes into the brief if your project needs it.
