In 2025, VP Team placed a Tech Lead for a Dubai fintech scaleup — a senior engineering leadership role requiring deep expertise across Java (Spring Boot), Node.js (TypeScript), React, and cloud infrastructure (AWS/Terraform). One of the client's most strategically important hires of the year.

The Challenge
The client required a Tech Lead who could manage teams of 5+ engineers, modernize legacy systems, and collaborate closely with three other tech leads and the CTO. Nice-to-have: fintech/DeFi experience, smart contracts, DEX/CEX integration. One offer was declined before the final hire — a reminder that great candidates have options.
Result
A Tech Lead was placed in 117 days at $10,000/month — relocating to Dubai with full visa, tickets, and housing support from the client.
