How we work

Two simple ways to scale with FC Tech.

Whether you need an embedded team you don't have to manage, or a fixed-scope project shipped end-to-end — pick the mode, and we run with it.

Mode 01

Managed Teams

Like an in-house team — without the management overhead.

You define the role and the bar. We source, embed, and run the people. Daily standups, sprints, code review, QC, performance — handled by us. You get output, not org-chart overhead.

  • You define what 'good' looks like; we hire and onboard
  • Dedicated delivery manager + weekly reviews with your team
  • Built-in QC: code review, output sampling, retros
  • Scale up or down month-to-month

Best for: Long-running product, AI ops, or support work where you want a team — but not the management burden.

Mode 02

Project Delivery

Hand us a project. Get a finished product.

Fixed scope, clear milestones, one owner. We scope, design, build, and ship — you sign off at each milestone and own the source on handoff. One contract, one team, one delivery date.

  • Discovery + technical scoping included
  • Fixed price or T&M — your choice
  • Milestone-based delivery with demo at each stage
  • Source code and IP transferred at handoff

Best for: Defined builds with a target ship date — MVPs, internal tools, integrations, AI prototypes, websites.

The FC Tech difference

We're not a marketplace. We're your talent partner.

Other platforms hand you a CV and walk away. We embed managers, run quality assurance, manage day-to-day operations, and stay accountable for outcomes.

Top 3% talent

Rigorous vetting: technical assessments, English proficiency, and live coding before any candidate reaches your inbox.

Managed engagement

Dedicated delivery managers, weekly reporting, and full transparency on velocity, blockers, and outcomes.

14-day replacement guarantee

If a hire doesn't fit, we replace them at no cost — and we cover the ramp-up gap.

One point of contact

Contracts, onboarding, and ongoing operations through a single team — less coordination overhead, fewer surprises.

Simple commercials

You pay in USD, EUR, or GBP through one invoice. Local payments to talent are coordinated by trusted in-country partners.

How it works

From brief to builder in 7 days.

No long procurement cycles. No CV swamp. Just vetted, ready people — embedded in your team.

About FC Tech

Building the bridge between global ambition and African talent.

We started FC Tech because the world's most ambitious companies were missing the world's most ambitious workforce. From our base in Lagos, we vet, train, and embed engineers, AI specialists, and operators with teams across San Francisco, London, Dubai, and beyond.

We don't run a marketplace. We run an operating company — accountable for the people we place, the work they ship, and the systems that keep both reliable.
