Technology hires that hold up after the interview.
A technical interview tells you whether someone can solve a problem in an hour. It does not tell you whether they will raise the standard of a team over two years. Sid & Gamble recruits engineers and technology leaders for SaaS, fintech, deep tech and growth-stage businesses across the UAE and nine further markets, from the senior engineer who anchors a new team to the leader who decides what it builds.
The roles we recruit for.
Engineering
- Software Engineers and Senior Software Engineers
- Front-End, Back-End and Full-Stack Engineers
- Mobile Engineers

- DevOps, Site Reliability and Platform Engineers
- Cloud and Infrastructure Engineers
- Security Engineers
Leadership
- Engineering Managers and Heads of Engineering
- Directors and Vice Presidents of Engineering
- Chief Technology Officers
These are examples. If the role sits in technology, we recruit for it.
Dubai is home, and the UAE is where we work most closely. The country has spent heavily on becoming a regional technology base, and many of the businesses we hire for are building their first engineering teams here rather than relying entirely on teams abroad. We also recruit across the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and Canada, often for companies whose teams span several of them.
The demand has moved up the experience curve. As AI tools take on more routine coding, employers are hiring fewer junior engineers and competing harder for people who can design systems, review what the tools produce and own the result. Data, platform and security skills remain the hardest to find, and in security especially, the gap is less about spotting problems than about having the people to fix them.
How we run a technology search.
We understand the stack and the stage
An engineer who thrives in a 40-person scale-up may struggle in a regulated enterprise, and the reverse is just as true. We match people to the environment, not just the language.
We assess beyond the coding test
We look at how candidates make design decisions, how they work with product and commercial teams, and how they handle systems they did not build.
We are honest about the market
If your salary range, location policy or interview process will cost you the candidates you want, we will tell you before the search starts, not after it stalls.
