    Distilling requests from the humanitarian community into technically detailed feature requests (and, of course, writing bug reports).
    Scoping, prioritizing, estimating, and organizing work into manageable-sized tasks.
    Attending regular videoconference check-ins with other members of the technical team.
    Communicating with the public in conjunction with our support staff or directly through forums, issue trackers, etc.
    Shaping the design and architecture of the overall tool suite collaboratively with the larger team.
    Performing other related duties as directed by the lead developers.

    Experience writing, deploying, and maintaining server-side Python code for real-world, API-driven web applications.
    Substantial understanding of relational databases, their performance characteristics, and methods of mapping relational data into an object-oriented programming environment.

    Interest in data collection (surveying), particularly in humanitarian emergencies and other challenging contexts, and a desire to improve our platform for our users.

    Proficiency with spoken and written English.
    Fluency with Git.
