Hiring from UAE

Hire remote developers for your UAE business

Developers in India working almost the same hours as you. Web apps, mobile apps, e-commerce and custom software, by project, by the hour or by the month.

Working across time zones

India (IST) is 1½ hours ahead of the UAE (GST), all year round.

Nearly the whole working day is shared, so calls, reviews and quick questions happen in real time.

There is no overnight gap to plan around: the developer works the same day you do.

For businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the UAE, India is the closest major developer market by time zone: the two working days line up for almost all of their length.

We match a developer to the work you describe, you speak to them before anything starts, and they work in your tools and repository as part of your team.

Who it suits

  • A business that needs a web app, portal or booking system built
  • An e-commerce store that needs development and ongoing changes
  • A company that wants developers working its own hours without a local hire
  • An agency that needs extra developers for client projects

Rates and billing

  • Rates are quoted in US dollars: from $10/hr for a developer, from $25/hr for a senior developer
  • Project work is quoted against a written scope before it starts
  • Monthly engagements are agreed for the capacity you need, month by month
  • Start with a small paid task if you want to see the work first

How it starts

  • Tell us what you are building and the stack you use
  • We suggest a developer and you talk to them directly
  • Pick project, hourly or monthly, and agree the first piece of work
  • Work happens in your repository and your tools

Common questions

Will the developer keep our working hours?

Almost. With only 1½ hours between the two, nearly the whole working day overlaps.

Can you build Arabic or bilingual websites?

Tell us what the site needs. Right-to-left layouts and two-language content are a known kind of work; we confirm the right developer for it before you start.

Who owns the code?

You do, once the work is paid for.

Can we start small?

Yes. Start with a scoped task or a few hours, then move to monthly work once you know the developer.
