The cost of getting this wrong

What getting Dedicated Teams and Staff Augmentation wrong costs you

Hiring a senior engineer directly in Abu Dhabi is slow even by regional standards, and government-adjacent suppliers racing to meet the emirate's push toward an AI-native government by 2027, backed by AED 13 billion committed for 2025 to 2027, do not have months to spend on a search. A vacancy that sits open for a quarter is a quarter the roadmap does not move, while competitors already staffed up keep shipping.

The second cost shows up at tender time. More than 60 percent of Abu Dhabi tenders, and every ADNOC contract, require an In-Country Value certificate, and a scattered hiring history, contractors added and dropped with no clean record, makes that certificate harder to assemble than it needs to be. An offshore bench with a different engineer every few months and nobody accountable for quality makes the paperwork worse, not just the delivery.

The third cost is contractual. Long minimum terms and exit fees written in the vendor's favour are common in staff augmentation deals, and an Abu Dhabi company that wants to scale a team up quickly to meet a Hub71 milestone or a government-adjacent contract should not be locked into a structure that cannot flex with it.

A different way to buy engineering

How we deliver Dedicated Teams and Staff Augmentation differently

We are served from our Dubai office, 90 minutes away; on-site days included in every Abu Dhabi engagement, so kick-offs, planning sessions and critical launches happen with your team in Abu Dhabi, while day to day delivery runs from Dubai and our Yerevan engineering team on the same working day. You describe the role and the team it joins, and within five business days you get CVs of engineers who fit, interviewed by you before anyone starts.

For clients building toward ICV certification, our Dubai-based lead keeps engagement records, cost per seat and hiring history documented cleanly from day one, so the paperwork a certificate needs is already organised rather than assembled under deadline pressure. The engineers work from Yerevan, in the same time zone as Dubai and one hour ahead of Riyadh, so the working day lines up with Abu Dhabi without early morning calls. Terms are built for flexibility that a growing Hub71 company or a government-adjacent supplier actually needs: monthly per seat, scale up or down on 30 days notice, with an NDA signed within 24 hours and all IP assigned to you.

Fixed scope first, a demo every week, and you own all of the code.

How we deliver Dedicated Teams and Staff Augmentation differently

When the need is architecture and vendor decisions across a team, not only extra capacity, pair the engineers with a fractional CTO who is also served from Dubai with the same on-site rhythm.

How it works

How the engagement runs, week by week

Day 1 to 5
CVs and interviews
You describe the role and the team it joins. Within five business days you get CVs of engineers who match, and you interview them yourself. Nobody starts on your project without your yes.
Week 2
Onboarding into your tools
The engineer joins your Slack or Teams, your repositories, your ticket board and your stand-ups, under your NDA and access rules, and ships a first small change in the first days.
Monthly
Delivery reviews with the Dubai lead
Our Dubai-based lead reviews output, code quality and fit with you every month, and deals with anything that is not working before it becomes your problem.
Any time
Replace or scale on 30 days notice
Add engineers when the roadmap grows, reduce when it does not, or ask for a replacement if the fit is wrong. Thirty days notice, no long lock-in contracts.

Fit

Who this is for

A government-adjacent supplier or ADNOC contractor scaling a team fast to meet Abu Dhabi's push toward an AI-native government, and needs ICV-ready hiring records along the way.
A Hub71 or Hub71+ portfolio company that needs senior engineering capacity without the months a direct Abu Dhabi hire takes.
A company burned by an offshore vendor that wants nearshore delivery quality with a Dubai-managed lead accountable for it.
Not for you if you need an engineer physically in your Abu Dhabi office every day. In that case a local hire or a fixed on-site contract suits you better than augmentation.

Questions buyers ask us

Do you have an office in Abu Dhabi?

No. We are served from our Dubai office, ninety minutes away, with on-site days included in every Abu Dhabi engagement, so kick-offs and reviews happen in person while day to day work runs on Gulf time from Dubai and Yerevan.

Can staff augmentation help with ICV hiring documentation?

Yes. Since more than 60 percent of Abu Dhabi tenders and every ADNOC contract require an In-Country Value certificate, our Dubai-based lead keeps engagement, cost and hiring records organised in a form your ICV file can use directly.

Why hire nearshore engineers for an Abu Dhabi team hitting an AI-native government push?

Abu Dhabi is targeting the world's first AI-native government by 2027, and government-adjacent suppliers scaling to meet that demand need senior engineers fast. Our Yerevan team works in the same time zone as Dubai and one hour ahead of Riyadh, so a question at 10:00 gets answered at 10:00.

Do Hub71 companies use dedicated engineers?

Yes. Hub71 and Hub71+ AI programme companies under ADGM add senior engineers to their own team through the same five business day CV process as a mainland Abu Dhabi enterprise.

How fast can an Abu Dhabi team start?

CVs within five business days of a clear role description, interviews the same week, and a start within two weeks of your yes, with on-site onboarding days scheduled if your team wants the engineer in the room first.

Who manages the engineers for an Abu Dhabi client?

Day to day, they work inside your team and your processes. Our Dubai-based lead handles selection, onboarding, monthly delivery reviews, performance, replacements and on-site visits, so you manage the work, not the employment.

Can engineers come on-site in Abu Dhabi?

Yes. On-site days are included in every Abu Dhabi engagement for kick-offs, planning sessions and critical launches, agreed in advance so there are no surprises about timing.

What does a dedicated engineer cost for an Abu Dhabi company?

We do not publish prices. You get a fixed monthly quote per seat within 2 business days, the same process regardless of which emirate the engineer supports.
