Staff augmentation and dedicated development teams in Dubai, UAE
Get more of your roadmap delivered without a hiring round: through staff augmentation in the UAE, you add dedicated developers to your own team, sourced for your roles and chosen by you. You can also hand us a whole project, buy hours as you need them, or have us recruit a dedicated team for the long term. Flojics holds the contract from Dubai Digital Park, and our core team works from Egypt, one to two hours behind UAE time.

Working hours
Our team in Egypt shares the Gulf working day, and Houston covers the US.
Egypt works Sunday to Thursday, the same week as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and Oman, one to two hours behind Dubai. We hire across Egypt, and our core team are native Arabic speakers who work in English with international teams.

FAQ
Cost, start dates, interviews, other roles, teams in Dubai and Arabic.
What does staff augmentation cost compared with hiring in-house?
Your rate is agreed in your proposal: one monthly fee per developer, or per team for a dedicated team. It moves with the role and seniority, the stack, how many people you add and how long you need them. Our staff augmentation guide compares it with hiring a developer in Dubai yourself.
How soon can a developer start?
We agree the start date with you once you have chosen from the shortlist. You can begin with one developer while the rest of the team is recruited.
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.
Can you hire roles other than developers?
Yes. We can recruit, hire and onboard any role that can work remotely from Egypt, in IT or outside it, from IT support and data analysts to Arabic customer support, bookkeeping and back-office work. You interview the candidates and choose who joins, as with developers. The contract and employment setup for each role are agreed in your proposal.
Who manages the developers day to day?
On staff augmentation, you do: they join your stand-ups, tools and priorities like the rest of your team. Your account manager at Flojics handles contracts, HR, payroll and performance reviews.
How does a dedicated team work for a company in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
It lets you hire a remote software development team for your UAE company and keep it for the long term. You set the priorities, and our delivery lead runs the team’s process. The team works Sunday to Thursday from Egypt, one to two hours behind Dubai, so it shares Monday to Thursday with a Monday to Friday office. Before anyone gets access, you sign an NDA, a master agreement and a statement of work with Flojics Technology, so your contract is with a staff augmentation company in Dubai.
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.
What if a developer isn’t the right fit, or our plans change?
Tell your account manager. Replacements are our job: we source and shortlist again, and you interview the new candidates as before. You can add or reduce people as your roadmap changes, on the terms in your proposal.
