Fractional operations for investor-backed startups hitting growth walls
Flatgigs is a 2–10 person consulting firm in Dubai operating a 134-person hiring pipeline with heavy engineering focus (82 roles). The stack—C#/.NET, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Azure—paired with projects targeting banking APIs, real-time analytics, and multi-agent AI suggests they're building or staffing product teams for fintech clients, not pure advisory. The tech adoption pattern (Jira, Confluence, LangChain, RAG) and pain points (fraud detection, high-performance transaction processing, regulated banking) indicate they're helping portfolio companies solve data-intensive, compliance-heavy problems.
Notable leadership hires: Marketing Head, Art Director, Chief Technology Officer
Flatgigs provides fractional execution and operational support to investor-backed startups facing revenue stalls, strategic pivots, or bandwidth constraints. The firm brings experienced operators—often with deep sector knowledge—to move the needle on growth metrics. Their model mixes ongoing advisory with hands-on delivery across product, engineering, and go-to-market strategy. Active hiring spans 10 countries (Pakistan, UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt, Jordan, India, Brazil, Ukraine, Argentina) with heavy weighting toward senior and mid-level engineers, suggesting they staff entire teams or subunits for clients rather than place individuals.
