Apollo Agriculture Data Engineer Job 2022

Data Engineer Job, IT Kenya Jobs 2022, 

Apollo Agriculture is the commercial farming platform that helps small-scale farmers maximize their profits. Apollo’s ML-powered credit models and automated operations technology unlock the massive, untapped small-scale farming market, starting in Kenya. With optimized financing, high-quality farm products, and digital advice, Apollo farmers are already more than doubling their farm profitability. Apollo’s team brings together technology, credit and operations experience from The Climate Corporation (acquired for USD $1 Billion), Google, Capital One and One Acre Fund. We value evangelical pursuit of mission with a pragmatic approach, humility in the face of challenge, active discussion of disagreements, and considerate listening.

About the Role: We are seeking a Data Engineer that will own the design and development of the next-gen data warehouse at Apollo. Data is used to inform every decision made at Apollo, and drives virtually every business function, from sales, customer support, repayment, marketing, finance, credit, and our field agent network spread across Kenya. As Apollo scales from 100,000 farmers in Kenya to millions across Africa, and grows our portfolio of products, our data warehouse will have to support both orders of magnitude more data and more complex business needs for those data. To succeed in this role, you will need to design, develop, and maintain the infrastructure and tooling needed to scale both the data warehouse and its interfaces.

The ideal candidate is a junior or mid-level developer that has demonstrated excellent software engineering instincts in previous roles or projects and and is ready to take a technical leadership role on a growing team under the mentorship of an experienced software engineer.
