Absolutely! You are always welcome to visit and work alongside your team in Nairobi.

To support this, Native Coders includes a Team Building Fund in our standard contracts. Managed by Native Coders, this fund can be used to help cover travel-related costs and ensure your visit is both productive and cost-efficient.
While you’re here, we’ll also be happy to arrange optional team-building activities outside of work — helping strengthen relationships, build trust, and make the experience memorable.

If your team is contracted at a 100% allocation level, they will work exclusively with you.

We encourage our customers to be highly involved in the selection process. For us, this is a key success factor to ensure a strong match and foster long-term collaboration.

Like many modern companies, we offer flexible working arrangements to help balance professional and personal life. However, we also believe an office is essential for building a strong, positive company culture, supporting professional networks — especially for junior team members — and, of course, enjoying fun team moments like a Swedish fika.
