A company without a technical owner is one bad decision from an expensive year

What we screen for before you spend an hour interviewing.

Vendors unchallenged

Proposals accepted because nobody internal can assess them.

Technology chosen by whoever is loudest

Decisions made by the most recent contractor.

No plan beyond the next release

Technology run reactively while the business plans in years.

We place technology leaders, including fractional arrangements of a few days a month, which is often the honest answer for a company that needs the decisions owned rather than a full time salary.

The engagement is defined by what they own: architecture, vendors, hiring, budget and the plan, with a handover if you later hire permanently.

How it works

A clear process from brief to launch, with your approval at every stage.

The benefits of working with us

Why Dubai companies choose Codeeo for hire a CTO

  • 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.
