Prior experience living and/or working in Africa and India would be a huge bonus. http://goo.gl/DqnRA About The Modi Research Group We make software to make development process smarter and to bring new services (health and energy) to people that need them most (primary focus on Africa, India and Haiti). The tools we build incorporate geospatial planning, open-data webservices, mobile phone-based data collection and service delivery, and management dashboards used by governments. We are primarily a Python and Javascript shop but looking primarily for people with deep software engineering experience and desire to tackle challenging global problems with code. You will get to work with a dynamic team in New York, and travel to field sites in Africa, Haiti and India to develop and implement solutions with clients on the ground. This is critical to our process as we do agile development heavily based on iterative user feedback.
