We handle recruiting, payroll, compliance, and coaching. You get a trained overseas developer who plugs into your team and starts building from day one.
Repetitive work like updating spreadsheets, inventory checks, and data entry takes time away from work that grows the business.
Data is siloed across spreadsheets, CRMs, and inboxes, with no clean way to unify it, visualize it, or learn from it.
There's a growing backlog of half-built automations and AI ideas, but no one internally to own and execute them.
One simple arrangement covers the developer, coaching, payroll, compliance, and ongoing support.
A developer with a software background who's completed our intensive training program — embedded full-time, 40 hours a week, with timezone overlap during your working hours.
Your developer is on our payroll, not yours. We handle taxes, employment contracts, and Nigerian labor compliance — you never deal with international payroll or contractor misclassification.
A dedicated coach runs weekly 1:1s with your developer to support their skill development — and steps in if any performance issues come up.
Work directly with your developer for a month to confirm the fit. A simple monthly subscription after that, billed via Stripe.
If the fit isn't right during the trial or at any point after, we'll match you with a new developer at no extra cost.
The developer Koya matched me with has been an incredible fit — reliable, proactive, and truly adding value to my daily operations. It saves me a huge amount of time and lets me focus on the strategic parts of the business.
I got connected with Koya through a friend, and very quickly they found a developer (David) who was incredible. Initially we were just a solopreneurship, but now if I take a day off, good work still gets done.
Maro is a good example of someone who figures it out. I send stuff to him all the time and he's like, "you think I'm a genius? I'll figure it out." And then he usually does.
As the technical founder, I was completely swamped handling client fulfillment on my own and didn't have time to work on the business. Koya found us a reliable automation specialist who now supports our client work, improves our processes, and brings a second pair of eyes to our systems.
I've worked with many automation specialists from Nigeria and am consistently impressed by their skills and drive. Their talent has made a real difference in helping me automate and grow my business.
I've already hired two AI automation developers through Koya, and the experience has been super smooth. The talent is high quality, smart, and passionate about their work. They've taken a ton of development work off my plate, which has made it so much easier to scale my business.
Joshua has quickly become a key part of my team. He handles complex automation tasks across several client projects, freeing me up to focus on strategy. The process was smooth and communication has been spot on.
A few things you might be wondering.
Our developers are based in Nigeria, which gives you access to top-tier talent at a fraction of the cost. The timezone (+5 / +6 hours ahead of Eastern Time) makes collaboration with European or U.S.-based teams possible, and with English as the official language, communication is clear and easy.
We look for a combination of technical skill and personality traits. Our developers are:
Your developer is employed by us, not by you. We handle payroll, tax compliance, employment contracts, and local labor law. You have your monthly payment and that's it. No international employer-of-record service to set up, no contractor classification risk, and no foreign tax filings.
If the developer isn't a good fit during the 30-day trial, or at any point during the ongoing subscription, we'll replace them at no extra cost.
You do. Anything your developer builds during the engagement, including code, documentation, automations, and intellectual property, belongs to you.
Your developer works during your preferred working hours. Nigeria is +5 or +6 hours ahead of Eastern Time, with strong English fluency, making collaboration with European or U.S. teams seamless.
Your developer can help with a wide range of tasks, including but not limited to:
Our developers use popular automation tools — primarily Make or n8n, alongside AI-native tools like Claude Code. They can also integrate different platforms and APIs to streamline workflows. If your business uses other tools or specific software, we can match you with a developer who is familiar with those as well.
Our developers are primarily focused on back-office tasks such as automating workflows, managing data, and handling reporting. They're there to provide you with the support you need to free up your team's time and handle tasks that don't require direct client interaction. Over time, you can gradually delegate more tasks and they can become more client-facing as the working relationship grows.
You pay one simple monthly subscription to us via Stripe. We handle the developer's payroll, taxes, and all employment compliance. You never have to deal with international payroll, contractor classification, or local labor law.
