The Role

Government water systems (JJM–IMIS, AP Mana Mitra, RWSS) carry uncertain Power BI licensing, and EAII’s current Inline Chlorination (ILC) reporting depends on Power BI – a tool that cannot be embedded natively into state portals or shared with officials who lack licences. This role reports to the Manager, Safe Water Operations. In this role, you will build and harden a lightweight, fully org-owned alternative: standalone HTML/CSS/JavaScript dashboards fed from public Google Sheets CSV exports and REST/JSON endpoints. This removes the licensing barrier, deploys anywhere, and gives EAII full ownership of its reporting stack for the India Safe Water – Inline Chlorination (ISW–ILC) programme.

Responsibilities

Backend Development & Data Integration

Design and build robust backend APIs (REST/JSON) that securely consume, validate, and transform data from government systems (JJM–IMIS, AP Mana Mitra, RWSS) and public Google Sheets CSV exports.

Develop data pipelines and ETL processes to standardize government data feeds into a consistent JSON schema accessible to multiple frontend clients.

Implement authentication, data validation, error handling, and rate limiting for production-grade API reliability.

Architect a configuration layer and data model enabling new indicators, sites, and districts to be added without backend code changes.

Government Integration & Handover

Conduct a source/API audit and define a data contract and JSON schema during the discovery phase.

Work with government IT teams to establish secure, reliable data access and define API SLAs.

Prepare comprehensive API documentation, deployment guides, and a maintenance runbook for Program Operations.

Present fortnightly demos against agreed milestones; hand over all code and documentation to EAII at the end of the engagement.

Deliverables & 1-Year Timeline

Months 1–2 – Discovery & setup: source/API audit, data contract, JSON schema, backend architecture.

Months 3–6 – Core build: backend APIs, data pipelines, integration with JSON/CSV feeds; core ILC indicators.

Months 7–8 – Integration & hardening: REST API wiring, data validation layer, government deployment infrastructure.

Months 9–11 – Scaling & optimization: performance tuning, self-hosted deployment, documentation.

Month 12 – Handover: documentation, maintenance runbook, knowledge transfer to Program Operations.

Requirements

Essential

Bachelor's degree (Master's preferred) in engineering, computer science, IT/data systems, or a related field
4+ years of backend development experience using a modern framework (Python/Django, Node.js/Express, Java/Spring, or equivalent)
Strong experience designing and building REST/JSON APIs with proper authentication, error handling, and rate limiting
Expertise in data pipelines, ETL processes, and database design (SQL and/or NoSQL)
Proficiency with version control (Git), CI/CD practices, and production deployment
Experience consuming and integrating third-party APIs and CSV data feeds
Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in distributed data systems
Willingness to travel upto 40% of the time across Andhra Pradesh and other states as required

Desirable

Experience with government/public-sector data integration
Experience with frontend development (HTML5, CSS3, vanilla JavaScript, or modern frameworks)
Familiarity with visualization libraries (Chart.js, D3.js, or similar)
Basic knowledge of geospatial/choropleth mapping
Experience with static site and self-hosted deployment (e.g., Windows Service / NSSM)
Knowledge of Google Sheets Apps Script or Power Query (useful for data source integration)
Design sensibility aligned with Evidence Action's brand system

Über Evidence Action

We do development differently.

Evidence Action is a global nonprofit organization with an approach distinctive in international development – we exclusively scale interventions that are backed by strong evidence and can be delivered with exceptional cost-effectiveness. We take a data-driven approach to identifying and scaling interventions which deliver outsized impact for the hundreds of millions of impoverished individuals who are our clients. We deploy deep expertise in building for scale, coupled with a focus on rigorous measurement and continuous program improvement, to ensure these solutions measurably improve the lives of millions.

We deliver tremendous impact.

Our programs – in health, nutrition, and safe water – have grown since our founding in 2013 to reach over 280 million people annually. Our Deworm the World Initiative has helped governments across Asia and Africa deliver over 1.3 billion childhood deworming treatments – which have been shown to increase long-term income by 13%. This places deworming among the most cost-effective income generation programs in the world, as ranked by charity evaluators such as GiveWell and The Life You Can Save. Our Dispensers for Safe Water program provides sustained safe water access to over 4 million people in rural Kenya, Uganda, and Malawi. Our last-mile delivery network services communities through a free-to-use, human-centric design that increases usage over 5 times that of traditional water treatment options, preventing childhood illness and deaths caused by unsafe water. Dispensers for Safe Water has been recognized by Charity Navigator for its high cost-effectiveness, by Expo2020 as one of only 25 Global Best Practice Programmes, and a chlorine dispenser now resides in the Nobel Museum, selected by 2019 Nobel laureate Michael Kremer – whose work was integral to the program’s development.

We drive innovation.

Evidence Action’s Accelerator builds the next generation of exceptional programs, taking an approach most similar to a venture capital model. We thoughtfully advance promising new programs through a rigorous, 6 stage process – from desk research to testing at large scale. We are ruthless in exiting programs which do not meet our criteria on scalability, evidence of impact, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring that the programs that do advance deliver outsized impact for millions of people.

We are global.

Over 400 individuals work on our programs across eight countries – Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nigeria, Pakistan, Uganda, India, and the United States, including both Evidence Action staff and close partners. We are united by a tremendous passion for our mission and the impact that together we create. We are strong because of our diversity of experience, geography, and background – with over 90% of our people in the countries where our impact is focused. This spirit, and our culture, are guided by a set of core values that underpin our work. These values embody our focus on evidence, urgency, iteration, and incessance in our search for solutions.

We have big ambitions.

Our goal is to double our impact by 2024, to fulfill our vision of a world where hundreds of millions of people in the poorest places have better opportunities and their lives are measurably improved. We believe in bold and urgent action – because poverty doesn’t wait, and neither should we.

We need great people.

Our success to date is due to the collective work of our amazing staff. To achieve our ambitious goals, we need to grow our team. We are looking for people who share our passion for following the evidence, seeking cost-effective ways of working, and operating at scale. We seek individuals who take an entrepreneurial approach, enjoy tackling hard problems, and iterate to achieve the best solutions – and know that people with these skills come from many professional backgrounds.

If our vision and approach excite you as much as it does us, we invite you to join us.
