What's Included
Real team members, not a name on an invoice
- Dedicated developers, QA engineers, DevOps specialists, and data or ML engineers, sourced from our Sri Lanka delivery center.
- A monthly retainer model, not a fixed-scope project, so you scale up or down as your roadmap changes.
- A named UAE-based account contact who checks in weekly, not a resume dropped in your inbox.
- Real onboarding, with process documentation, not "here's a login, good luck."
- Access to the same talent pool and vetting process we use to build our own internal engineering team.
- A no-cost replacement within the first two weeks if a placed person isn't the right fit.
Roles We Place
Developers (web, mobile, backend), QA and test engineers, DevOps and infrastructure specialists, and data or ML engineers. Engagements start at a single augmented role and scale up as your needs grow, billed monthly for as long as you need the extra capacity.
Why It Matters
The skills gap is real, and local hiring is slow
Most UAE companies report they can't find the technical skills they need locally, and a direct hire typically takes two to four months once you account for visa processing and onboarding. Augmented staff deploy in one to three weeks instead, and because they're on our payroll rather than yours, they don't count against your Emiratization headcount ratio, which matters for any company approaching that threshold.
How We Deliver
Embedded, not outsourced into a black box
Placed staff work inside your existing tools, your existing process, and your existing team, not a separate offshore silo you have to manage around. A UAE-based account contact checks in weekly so small friction gets caught before it becomes a bigger problem, and if a placement genuinely isn't working out, we replace them at no cost within the first two weeks.
Who It's For
Teams that need more hands, not a new process
UAE tech-forward companies already running an agile engineering process, particularly in fintech, healthtech, proptech, and logistics, who just need more capacity. Also a strong fit for UAE-based SI and consultancy firms that need overflow capacity for their own client work, and for any company close to its Emiratization quota threshold that needs technical headcount growth without adding to that count.
Why Vanguard Oasis
Built on our own engineering bench, not a staffing list
Our Sri Lanka delivery center isn't a call center with a staffing spreadsheet, it's the same engineering pool and management structure we use to run our own software development and digital transformation projects. That's a genuine, structural advantage over a generic staffing shop, not a marketing line.
