Job description

You start your day with the bi-weekly operational update from the Operations department to hear what is going on in our projects, for instance in our Cholera project in Goma or vaccination campaign in South Sudan.

As you will be at least 40 % hands on in systems of the time that day, you can focus on our key project to update LRS system . You make sure the code aligns with best practices, optimize performance and build robust error handling.

In the late afternoon you have a brainstorming about the opportunities to automate monitoring and data quality checks for other projects, and to identify a possible implementation of a new mod u l e into production that a Log-co has created. At the end of the day, as it happens to be Thursday, you join the team for a well-earned drink!
