Hire software architects and engineering leaders in Dubai
Architects, engineering managers and fractional technology leaders for the decisions that are expensive to reverse.
Tell us the gapThe expensive decisions are made in month one
Architecture is the set of choices that are painful to change later, and they are usually made fastest.
A design nobody can build
Diagrams produced by someone who will not be there when the code is written.
No technical owner
A team of contractors with no one accountable for the shape of the system.
Complexity bought too early
Architecture chosen for a scale the business has not reached and may never reach.
We screen architects on systems they have run in production, not on diagrams. What they built, what it cost, what they would do differently and what broke. An architect who cannot describe a failure of their own design is telling you something.
For companies without a technical leader, a fractional arrangement is often the honest answer: someone senior for a few days a month to own the decisions, review the work and protect you from the choices that are expensive to reverse.
Engineering managers are a separate hire, and confusing the two is common. Architecture is about the system, management is about the people, and most teams that are struggling need the second more than the first.
A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.
One call about the work, the stack and the deadline. You get a written shortlist, not a stack of unfiltered profiles.
01You interview a short list we have already tested ourselves, and you set the technical exercise if you want one.
02The engineer starts inside your tools and your process, and we replace anyone who is not right without an argument.

Tested before you meet them
Every engineer is screened by our own developers on real work, not on a keyword match against a CV.
Working hours that overlap yours
Teams that sit in the Gulf working day, so review, standup and escalation happen inside your hours.
Your code, your accounts
Repositories, cloud accounts and credentials stay yours. Engineers work inside them and leave nothing behind.
One invoice, no visa admin
We carry the employment, the visas and the payroll, so you add and remove capacity without an HR project.

Tell us the gap →Questions founders ask us
What is a fractional CTO?
A senior technical leader for an agreed number of days a month, owning architecture and vendor decisions without a permanent hire.
Do we need an architect or an engineering manager?
Different problems. Architecture is the system, management is the team. Most struggling teams need the manager first, and we will say so.
Will they write code?
Some do, and it is usually a good sign. We will tell you how hands on each candidate is rather than leaving you to discover it.
Can they review work our current supplier delivered?
Yes, and we will keep the review factual rather than turning it into a pitch to replace them.
How long are these engagements?
From a short review of a single decision to an ongoing part time arrangement. Both are normal.
