  • Make critical technical decisions that balance speed, cost, and long-term maintainability

  • Cloud platform expertise (AWS/GCP)
  • System design and scalability planning
  • Security best practices and DevSecOps implementation
  • Git version control and team collaboration tools
  • Experience with data processing and analytics

  • Background in startup or scale-up environments
  • Demonstrated ability to translate business needs into technical solutions
  • Previous experience with system architecture and technical leadership

Soft Skills

  • Ability to engage with non-technical stakeholders and translate business requirements into technical specifications
  • Comfortable collaborating beyond your core expertise to cover full-stack needs in a lean team.
  • Mission-driven mindset (interest in agriculture/food systems or social impact).
  • Comfort working in a hybrid culture (Swiss HQ + East African hub).
  • Strong sense of ownership and initiative in a small, high-trust team.
  • Business-minded technical decision making that considers ROI and company objectives
  • Ability to communicate technical complexity to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Experience managing technical debt while delivering features under tight deadlines
  • Strong instincts for when to optimize vs when to ship quickly in startup environments
  • Capability to evaluate technical risks and their business implications
  • Leadership skills to guide teams through ambiguous problems with limited resources
  • Strategic thinking that balances short-term delivery with long-term architectural health
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with understanding of how technology drives business value
