Current Jobs at Management Sciences for Health (MSH)

• We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Lead System Design and Development Advisor to spearhead the design, development, and implementation of an interoperable, open-source Climate-Informed Early Warning System (CI-EWS) platform mainly based on existing systems. The successful candidate will drive collaboration across sectors, ensuring that technical solutions meet the needs of health and climate resilience in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), with a special focus on scalable, sustainable, and standards-based approaches. 

Specific Responsibilities 

• Lead the technical design and development of CI-EWS solutions based on outputs from scoping, mapping, and baseline gap analysis. 
• Develop and maintain the System Requirements Specification (SRS) to align with stakeholder expectations and sectoral needs. 
• Architect modular, interoperable systems that integrate health, climate, and meteorological data from diverse sources. 
• Oversee the implementation of open-source software solutions and manage public GitHub repositories, ensuring transparency and accessibility. 
• Guide cross-sectoral collaboration to leverage existing systems and data warehousing principles, and apply international interoperability standards (e.g., HL7 FHIR, ICD-11, WHO SMART Guidelines, DHIS2 APIs). 
• Develop technical documentation, user manuals, and standard operating procedures (SOPs), ensuring solutions are replicable and well-supported. 
• Support the operationalization of systems through the establishment of data sharing agreements, data governance policies, and privacy protocols aligned with WHO standards. 
• Collaborate with country teams to adapt and deploy solutions in fragile, conflict-affected, and digitally advancing contexts, ensuring offline functionality, localization, and accessibility features. 
• Integrate advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning capabilities for real-time forecasting and alerting. 
• Oversee DevSecOps processes including agile sprints, CI/CD pipelines, secure code review, and solution penetration testing. 
• Lead capacity-building initiatives for local teams, developing training modules and fostering knowledge exchange through communities of practice. 
• Monitor system sustainability indicators such as MoUs, user retention, and institutional adoption. 
• Ensure system resilience through robust architecture, redundancy, backup systems, and offline data synchronization. 
• Promote equity and inclusion by embedding gender and community representation in system design and usability.
