Full Stack Developer

Are you a talented full-stack engineer looking to make a real difference through the application of cutting-edge technology products?

Do you want to:

• Work on tech products that solve meaningful problems - rural water security for farmers, health outcomes for mothers, reduce gender-based violence in public spaces, reducing environmental pollution - and many others?
• Spend your time not just sitting in front of your screen but also immersing yourself in the field - villages, slums, schools, public buses - participating in user research to understand how the tools you develop will transform lives?
• Work in a collegial startup environment that equally values high performance and a nurturing environment within a growing multidisciplinary team?

If this deeply resonates (and only if), we invite you to read on.

Behavior change is an important component of most development topics — healthcare, education, water & sanitation, gender, and agriculture — and several organizations in the Government, the philanthropic sector, and development work on large programs to improve outcomes in these topic areas.

Atlas for Behavior Change in Development (ABCD)

The platform is driven by extensive secondary research, knowledge sharing through partnerships, and innovative feature development. You can visit the platform at https://abcd.guide/.

This role will involve building key features and tools within the ABCD platform, including:

• Tools that promote behavior change

  among frontline workers (e.g., ASHA, agriculture extension workers, teachers)

• AI-based tools

  that improve the way policy and impact investments get made or development programs are designed

You will play a foundational role in building these tools, working closely with the ABCD team, our partners (including behavioral researchers, designers, bureaucrats, grassroots NGOs), and will own the technology development process end to end—from architecture to deployment in production.

At ABCD, we are building transformative technology for the development sector—tools that empower organizations to address some of the toughest, most meaningful challenges of our time, from improving maternal health outcomes to advancing climate resilience in farming communities. We are a small but high-performing team, blending the precision of data science with the empathy of field research, united by a shared mission to create lasting impact.

End-to-End Ownership

This isn't just another coding job. You'll own the full product lifecycle—from ideation and prototyping to deployment and scale. You'll build tools that are not only technically sound but also contextually relevant to real-world users.

Career Acceleration

You'll gain leadership experience early, working in a small team where your decisions directly influence product direction. This is a place to fast-track your growth, building not just software but also critical skills in product management, design thinking, and user-centric innovation.

Diverse Collaboration

Break free from the echo chamber of tech-only teams. Work closely with social scientists, designers, and behavioral researchers to understand the nuances of human behavior and design technology that truly matters.

Global Exposure and Impact

Your work won't just sit behind a screen. It will be showcased to global audiences, including governments, international NGOs, and major philanthropic organizations, amplifying your professional footprint far beyond the tech community.

We are looking for motivated and talented Full-Stack Developers to join our tech team. We seek individuals willing to join early, drive progress independently, and help grow our small tech team over time.
