About Us:

Dimagi is a social enterprise and Benefit Corporation that builds software solutions and provides technology consulting services to improve the quality of essential services for underserved populations. Headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Dimagi partners alongside governments, leading NGOs, and foundations such as the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, USAID, and the World Bank to tackle complex health and social inequities. Our open-source technology platform, CommCare, is the world’s most widely-used and researched mobile data collection platform for frontline workers. To date, Dimagi’s team of project managers, engineers, and health experts have supported over 2,000 projects in 80 countries.

About the position:

Dimagi is looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to join our Global Technology team. This position is open to remote employment within India or can be based out of our office in Delhi, India.

Please Note: This position will be required to overlap with US Eastern Time working hours for at least four hours every day.

When COVID-19 came to the US, Dimagi sprung into action. We were among the first on the scene to support efforts in the United States, rolling out a web-based contact tracing system for the City of San Francisco in a few weeks. Today, our US Health Division works on COVID-19 Response to roll out statewide and local contact tracing technology and is expanding into a variety of public health use cases across the US. This position will be part of Dimagi’s US Health Division’s Technology team, a set of skilled engineers, product managers, application engineers, and data specialists supporting current and future project work by continually improving Dimagi’s CommCare platform and related software. 

This position is ideal for someone who enjoys small organizations, multi-tasking, and a highly flexible work environment. Our developers share a passion for making things work in challenging situations and seeing the impact of our work first-hand.

Our Global technology team helps develop and improve our platform’s architecture design for expressing end-to-end system workflows, both at the functional and technical levels. Since CommCare is used for applications related to many different types of problems, from agricultural extension education to improving delivery outcomes at birth, the software is written as a portable application engine. That means we don’t often build custom code for specific projects. 

Responsibilities of this role:

• Build new features using modern best practices such as version control, continuous integration, automated tests, and daily deploys
• Collaborate with our multicultural development and implementation teams around the globe
• Build software usable by groups of people facing unique challenges (remote locations, low literacy levels, no experience with technology, etc.)
• Mentor and coach junior engineers
• Brainstorm ideas on how to improve our software design and development process continually
• Work as part of a team to deliver product features and functionality

Who You Must Be:

• 5+ years of software development experience
• Experienced in developing enterprise-quality software in a high-level language such as Python or Ruby
• Background in building software for the web
• Experienced in leading architecture and design decisions
• Fluency in written and spoken English
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Familiarity with the Django framework
• Ability to mentor and assist junior developers
• Eligible to work in India

Bonus Points:

• Familiarity with components of our tech stack. We use Python, Django, Postgres, CouchDB, Elasticsearch, Javascript, and HTML.
• Bachelors or Masters Degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience
• Enthusiasm about working in public health and international development
• Familiarity with open-source technology

Benefits Provided:

We aim to make a difference, not just as a company, but as an employer as well.  Given our social mission, our budgeted salary scale is more in-line with that of a non-profit organization. However, the benefits we offer are geared towards having a strong impact on our staff’s well being. A few of our key benefits are outlined below:

• 100% employer-sponsored medical insurance covering employees and their family, paired with a generous OPD and mental health allowance
• Health and Fitness allowance
• Air Quality reimbursement to include air purifiers, pollution masks, etc
• Monthly contributions to each employee’s EPF account
• Employee stock option plan
• 30 days Paid Time Off and Flex-Time
• Complimentary lunch in the office
