Hire full-stack developers for your team in the United Arab Emirates

Full-stack roles vary. Before you hire, write down the front end, back end, database and hosting the developer will be expected to handle.

• Front-end developmentBuild screens that work on phones, load quickly and meet basic accessibility needs, using a framework or server-rendered templates.
• Database workChoose keys, indexes and relationships, then write migrations that can be repeated across environments.
• Security checksRecognise risks such as injection, broken access control, exposed secrets and unsafe file uploads.
• DeploymentHandle environment variables, delivery pipelines, logs and backups, with a rollback plan if a release needs to be reversed.
• Specialist supportKnow when a task needs a specialist, such as detailed interface design, database tuning at scale or cloud security.

You direct the work. We provide developers who already work on our client projects, with a lead who reviews code and keeps the work on track.

1. 01

   Choose the arrangement

   Hiring through a studio usually moves recruitment, payroll, equipment and absence cover to the studio. Direct hiring gives you more control, with more setup work.

2. 02

   Agree how work fits

   We work in your repository, tickets and stand-ups, and agree an overlap window with you up front.

3. 03

   Set up access

   Start with individual accounts and the least permissions needed in staging. Add production access after the review process is in place.

4. 04

   Walk through the product

   Set up the development environment, explain the codebase and choose a small real task that touches its main parts.

5. 05

   Document the workflow

   Share your architecture, coding standards, branching and release process, plus instructions for running the project locally. Record any gaps found during onboarding.

For a product collecting personal data, the UAE Personal Data Protection Law requires consent for processing except in listed cases and sets requirements for cross-border transfers. We set up consent capture where it is required and agree how access from India will be handled before personal data is shared.

A DIFC entity sending personal data to India needs a permitted transfer mechanism: India is not on the DIFC adequacy list. We can set up the transfer contract using an applicable exception, such as the DIFC Standard Contractual Clauses.

Prepare the work and the people who will make decisions before access is granted.

• A ranked backlogDescribe the first tasks well enough for the developer to start on real work.
• A contactName the person who will answer the developer’s questions and confirm your working hours.
• A definition of doneRecord review rules, expected tests and how work is deployed and approved.
• Early reviewArrange code reviews from the start so misunderstandings and standards are addressed while changes are easier to fix.
