Field designs and builds innovative solutions for improving child survival and access to health commodities in several African countries, with a focus on innovative logistics solutions. Our team works from Berlin, Germany and Abuja, Nigeria. We’re looking for engaged people to work with us on the technology which powers our projects. We believe that only diverse teams can build strong solutions to the often wicked problems that health systems in emerging contexts face. We believe people matter the most – those we work with and that we work for. We believe in the power of careful design, incorrigible curiosity, and respect for the people and challenges we engage with. Our aim is to make a meaningful, positive and lasting impact on communities’ access to healthcare.
Key Responsibilities
Translate problems to product strategy – frame tech debt and infra asks in terms the business cares about (lead-time, revenue unblockers, risk).
Own the roadmap – prioritise the Platform and Internal Tooling backlog across event-ledger hardening, API extensions, schema governance, CI templates, configuration tooling and DevEx improvements.
Write, a lot – crisp PRDs, API contracts, decision docs, and release notes that make engineers faster and stakeholders confident.
Partner, don’t “manage” – work shoulder-to-shoulder with 2 Sr + 2 Mid engineers, QA guild members, and our Security Champions community.
Measure & iterate – define metrics, instrument the platform, and course-correct based on real usage data.
Evangelise the platform – educate configuration, support, and downstream product teams on new capabilities and how they unlock customer value.
What you bring
4+ years shipping platform, infrastructure, or developer-facing products (SaaS, APIs, internal tooling).
Comfort discussing event-driven architectures, CI/CD, and cloud-scalability trade-offs—and translating them into plain-language value stories.
Track record of reducing lead-time or onboarding friction in a B2E / B2G setting.
Relentless documenter: you leave a paper-trail of one-pagers, diagrams, and release notes that others can build on.
Systems thinker who zooms out to see the whole supply-chain flow, not just the feature in front of you.
Empathy for both engineers (what it takes to build right) and users (why it matters to them).
