Overview:
Working with governments, foundations, and public sector partners to turn complex challenges into buildable solutions and real impact through AI product-driven delivery.

About Delivery Associates
Delivery Associates (DA) is a global social impact consultancy specializing in transforming the public sector. With over a decade of experience and a foundation in Deliverology®, DA guides leaders through every phase of implementation—delivery-oriented strategy formulation, execution, and evaluation. DA partners with governments, philanthropies, and international organizations, employing actionable strategies to achieve sustainable, lasting outcomes. In every one of our services, you will find a throughline back to this focus on helping our partners deliver better results through better implementation.

Job Description
Delivery Associates is building a new kind of team—one that helps partners across government and the social sector move from policy ambition to real, AI-enabled products and services that improve outcomes for people.

We are hiring a Full Stack Software Developer to help build and ship these solutions. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role: turning defined problems and product direction into simple, functional, and reliable applications that can be deployed and used in real-world public sector environments.

In this role, you will work across the stack—from building backend services and APIs to implementing user-facing interfaces—to design systems that support real workflows. This includes connecting data, integrating APIs, structuring and transforming data, and incorporating external tools (including AI services) into usable, end-to-end processes.

You will work closely with an AI Solutions Engineer, a Product Manager, and Delivery teams to translate ideas into working products—often in contexts with fragmented data, tight timelines, and evolving requirements. Success in this role requires the ability to build quickly, keep solutions simple, and deliver working features that can be used and iterated on in real environments.

Core Responsibilities.

This is a contractor role embedded within small, high-performing delivery teams, where product ownership and execution are tightly integrated. In this role, you will:

• Build and ship functional features and applications in short, iterative cycles (typically 2–4 weeks)
• Contribute across the stack—developing user-facing interfaces (e.g., React/Next.js), backend services (e.g., Python/Node.js), and working with data layers (e.g., Supabase/PostGIS)

• Support deployment and iteration of applications in cloud environments
• Test, debug, and improve systems to ensure reliability and usability in real-world contexts
• Contribute to reusable components and shared code where appropriate

Mindset.

We work well with people that are:

• Adaptable: Public sector work is dynamic. Our people are, too.
• Analytical: We identify, dissect, and solve complex problems.
• Accountable: We are a remote team. We work collaboratively but self-sufficiently; oversight is often minimal.
• Driven: Our work is important, so it’s important we do it well.
• Curious: We never stop learning from our clients, colleagues, and partners.

Required Skills/Experience.
 

• 5+ years of professional experience building and shipping production-grade applications
• Strong proficiency in modern programming languages (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript, Python) and ability to work effectively across the stack
• Solid experience designing and implementing full-stack systems, including frontend interfaces, backend services, and data models
• Experience integrating and working with APIs, including designing clean service interactions and handling external dependencies
• Ability to work with real-world data: querying, transforming, and structuring datasets for use in applications
• Experience building and maintaining reliable systems, including debugging, error handling, and performance considerations
• Ability to translate product and technical requirements into well-structured, maintainable implementations
• Comfort working in fast-paced, iterative environments with evolving requirements and tight timelines
• Sound engineering judgment, with a bias toward simple, reliable, and maintainable solutions
• Professional English and Portuguese required
• Must be based in and have work authorization in Brazil

What Will Set You Apart.

• Experience integrating AI/LLM APIs into real applications (e.g., OpenAI, Claude), including basic prompt design and structured outputs
• Exposure to building data-driven workflows using external or unstructured data
• Familiarity with geospatial data, public sector datasets, or data pipelines in messy environments
• Experience working on products for government, social impact, or operational service delivery contexts
• Comfort contributing to systems that connect multiple services (APIs, databases, third-party tools) into end-to-end workflows
  
  

What We Offer.

• Meaningful work that contributes to solving complex social challenges around the world
• Ongoing learning and growth through mentorship and leadership opportunities
• Opportunity to shape a new model of delivery at the intersection of consulting, product, and AI

Our Values.

These values serve as an anchor, enabling us to stay true to who we are and what we stand for.

• Passion: It is all about impact.
• Excellence: Delivering to the highest standards.
• Humility: Pride without ego.

Job Description
Delivery Associates is building a new kind of team—one that helps partners across government and the social sector move from policy ambition to real, AI-enabled products and services that improve outcomes for people.

We are hiring an AI Solutions Engineer to serve as the technical backbone of this effort. This is neither a research role nor a narrowly defined engineering position. It is a delivery role at its core: translating complex, ambiguous public sector challenges into working solutions that can be deployed and used in the real world.

In this role, you will work closely with Product, Delivery teams, and government counterparts to rapidly design, prototype, and ship AI-powered tools that are not only technically sound, but also practical, credible, and impactful. You will be expected to move quickly from problem definition to functional systems, operating in short, iterative cycles.

This role is designed for someone who combines strong engineering judgment with a deep understanding of modern AI systems—and who can build quickly without compromising quality. Someone who is motivated by impact, comfortable with ambiguity, and driven to turn ideas into systems that improve how public institutions serve people.

Core Responsibilities.

This is a contractor role embedded within small, high-performing delivery teams, where product ownership and execution are tightly integrated. In this role, you will:

• Build functional AI-powered functional prototypes in 2–4 week cycles
• Design and implement agentic workflows using LLM APIs, structured tool use, multi-step orchestration, and MCP integrations
• Own the stack end to end: React/Next.js frontend, Python/Node.js backend, Supabase/PostGIS data layer, cloud deployment
• Work with messy, real-world government datasets — structure them, clean them, make them queryable
• Build systems that drive frontline action and institutional decisions
• Set architecture standards, review code, and guide a Full-Stack Developer on implementation patterns
• Create reusable component libraries and architecture templates that compound across government engagements

Mindsets.

We work well with people that are:

• Adaptable: Public sector work is dynamic. Our people are, too.
• Analytical: We identify, dissect, and solve complex problems.
• Accountable: We are a remote team. We work collaboratively but self-sufficiently; oversight is often minimal.
• Driven: Our work is important, so it’s important we do it well.
• Curious: We never stop learning from our clients, colleagues, and partners.

Required Skills/Experience.
 

• 8+ years of professional software development experience, with a track record of building and shipping production systems
• Strong experience designing and implementing AI-powered applications using modern LLM stacks, including prompt engineering, structured outputs, tool use, and function calling
• Hands-on experience integrating LLMs into real workflows (not just prototypes), ensuring reliability, controllability, and usability of outputs
• Experience building end-to-end AI systems, including agentic or multi-step workflows, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines with external data sources
• Proficiency working with leading AI tools and ecosystems such as OpenAI API, Claude API, Hugging Face, and orchestration frameworks like LangChain or LlamaIndex
• Ability to design and deploy ML pipelines end-to-end, including data ingestion, preprocessing, model integration, and basic monitoring
• Experience deploying and scaling applications in cloud environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud)
• Demonstrated ability to move quickly from ambiguous problem to working prototype, making strong scoping and prioritization decisions
• Sound technical judgment under uncertainty, with a bias toward simple, reliable, and maintainable solutions over unnecessary complexity
• Professional English and Portuguese required
• Must be based in and have work authorization in Brazil

What Will Set You Apart.

• Cloud certifications: Azure AI Engineer, AWS ML Specialty, or GCP Professional ML Engineer
• Previous work with government or public sector clients in Latin America
• Data & geospatial systems: experience working with geospatial data and tools (e.g., PostGIS, GeoJSON pipelines, mapping APIs), and the ability to incorporate spatial analysis into practical applications.
• Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, or similar) to support Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) workflows is highly valued, including designing pipelines for embedding, storage, and retrieval in real-world use cases.

What We Offer.

• Meaningful work that contributes to solving complex social challenges around the world
• Ongoing learning and growth through mentorship and leadership opportunities
• Opportunity to shape a new model of delivery at the intersection of consulting, product, and AI

About Delivery Associates
Delivery Associates (DA) is a global social impact consultancy specializing in transforming the public sector. With over a decade of experience and a foundation in Deliverology®, DA guides leaders through every phase of implementation—delivery-oriented strategy formulation, execution, and evaluation. DA partners with governments, philanthropies, and international organizations, employing actionable strategies to achieve sustainable, lasting outcomes. In every one of our services, you will find a throughline back to this focus on helping our partners deliver better results through better implementation.

Job Description
We work with leaders in the public sector (government, philanthropy, non-profits) to turn ambitious goals into real-world results. Increasingly, this means not only advising on what should be done, but defining, building, and deploying solutions that make change possible.

As an AI Product Manager, you will sit at the intersection of client insight, product thinking, and delivery execution. You will translate complex, often ambiguous government priorities into clear, buildable products, and work alongside software engineers and consulting teams to ensure those solutions are delivered and adopted.

Core Responsibilities.

This is a contractor role embedded within small, high-performing delivery teams, where product ownership and execution are tightly integrated. In this role, you will:

Translate delivery needs into buildable products
 • Turn project priorities into clear, structured Product Request Documents (PRDs)
 • Convert PRDs into precise technical specifications that engineers can execute without ambiguity
 • Ensure what is being built is scoped, prioritized, and feasible within delivery timelines
 • Identify and resolve risks early, including scope gaps, data limitations, and delivery blockers

Work closely with consulting and engineering teams
 • Partner with consulting teams to understand delivery goals and translate them into product requirements
 • Align engineers and consultants around a shared understanding of what is being built and why
 • Act as the bridge between delivery teams and technical execution without duplicating roles
 • Support teams in structuring problems and making product-driven decisions

Own delivery and execution
 • Own the product lifecycle from scoping through deployment within live engagements
 • Coordinate across consulting teams, engineers, and leadership to maintain momentum
 • Manage timelines, priorities, and trade-offs to ensure consistent progress
 • Define clear success criteria and ensure delivery leads to measurable outcomes

Drive clarity and accountability
 • Bring structure to complex, fast-moving projects
 • Communicate decisions, trade-offs, and progress clearly across teams
 • Maintain focus on outcomes over process
 • Operate with autonomy and accountability in high-stakes delivery environments

Mindsets.

We work well with people that are:

• Adaptable: Public sector work is dynamic. Our people are, too.
• Analytical: We identify, dissect, and solve complex problems.
• Accountable: We are a remote team. We work collaboratively but self-sufficiently; oversight is often minimal.
• Driven: Our work is important, so it’s important we do it well.
• Curious: We never stop learning from our clients, colleagues, and partners.

Required Skills/Experience.
 • 5+ years of experience in product management, technology consulting, or digital transformation
• Experience with AI and data-driven solutions, with the ability to assess feasibility and timelines
 • Demonstrated track record of turning ambiguous client needs into scoped, delivered solutions
 • Ability to write structured product requirements and translate them into actionable technical specifications
 • Good facilitation skills, including leading discussions with diverse stakeholders and aligning priorities
 • Ability to work with engineers and data scientists to scope technical work
 • Professional English and Portuguese required
 • Must be based in and have work authorization in Brazil

What Will Set You Apart.
 • Experience navigating governments
 • Hands-on experience using AI tools in professional contexts
 • Background in sectors such as urban development, public health, education, or social policy
 • Experience working closely with engineering teams to deliver digital or data products

What We Offer.
 • Meaningful work that contributes to solving complex social challenges around the world
 • Ongoing learning and growth through mentorship and leadership opportunities
 • Opportunity to shape a new model of delivery at the intersection of consulting, product, and AI

Our Values.

These values serve as an anchor, enabling us to stay true to who we are and what we stand for.

• Passion: It is all about impact.
• Excellence: Delivering to the highest standards.
• Humility: Pride without ego.
