- Your account manager checks in regularly and handles anything outside the work itself.
Security and ownership

Frequently asked questions
Do I manage the team directly?
Yes. They take tasks and priorities from you or your tech lead. We manage employment, not your product.
Where does the team work?
On-site, remotely or hybrid — whichever you agree with us.
How long does hiring take?
You get a shortlist of candidates who match your brief; many roles can start within a few days, while senior engineers usually need one to two months for their notice period.
Can I visit my team?
Yes, you’re welcome in our Cairo office at any time.
How do I scale up or down?
Tell your account manager. Adding people follows the same hiring steps; reducing needs two months’ notice plus two months’ pay as compensation, in line with Egyptian labour law.
Who handles holidays and sick leave?
We do, under Egyptian labour law. You see planned leave in advance so you can plan sprints.
