We have developed a maintain a pragmatic, respectful and supportive engineering culture, and are looking for teammates who value this.

As part of a multi-disciplinary team you will help investigate user needs and design solutions for national-scale public health programs alongside our other technology and subject-matter experts.

As a senior engineer and architect you'll also help build to identify, implement and champion software design patterns and platform-level features to address the unique challenges of data-driven, offline-capable enterprise systems.

You will work closely with other developers in Europe, Kenya and Nigeria, supporting each other and collaborating through frequent code reviews and strong adherence to best practices, as we develop tools to shape health supply chains at scale in some of the fastest growing places in the world.

  • 7+ years professional experience architecting, building and maintaining production information management systems with demonstrable experience in dat modelling, database design and cloud architecture
  • Professional experience architecting software to address complex business needs (supply chain or similarly data-dense field)
  • 7+ years professional experience with client- and server-side Javascript, and production experience with both relational and document-oriented databases (Postgres, CouchDB, AWS, React ideally)
  • Excellent human communication skills and experience working in cross-cultural settings
  • Problem solving issues of information architecture, design patterns and data modelling is your thing and you enjoy doing it
  • Experience with serverless and event-driven application architectures
  • Degree in computer science, or comparable work experience
  • Excellent problem solving skills and ability to think about solutions in an holistic way

Location: Europe / Nigeria / Kenya (remote possible but we like to co-work when we can) Language skills: English (fluent) Position: 24 month contract with possibility of extension

Bonus

  • Experience with enterprise information systems
  • Experience in designing for offline-first solutions or environments with unstable internet connections
  • Experience working with supply chain and/or health information systems (ERP, LMIS, EMR etc)
