About WOTR:

The Watershed Organisation Trust (WOTR) is a nationally and internationally recognized non-profit organization committed to advancing rural development, climate resilience, and ecosystem-based adaptation. As we scale our technology-driven initiatives- including AI-ready database systems, remote sensing analytics, and predictive advisory platforms- we are seeking an AI Stack Developer to join our growing technology team.

This position goes beyond conventional software development. It integrates AI/ML modelling, data engineering, application development, and deployment pipelines, contributing directly to solutions in climate resilience, agriculture, hydrology, and rural livelihoods.

Key Responsibilities:

AI/ML Model Development

• Design, develop, and optimize machine learning models, including computer vision, time-series forecasting, geospatial ML, and NLP applications.
• Build end-to-end ML pipelines for model training, validation, deployment, and monitoring.
• Work with large multisource datasets—remote sensing, weather, IoT sensors, surveys, and operational databases.

Data Engineering & Architecture

• Develop scalable data workflows for ingestion, transformation, and storage.
• Integrate heterogeneous datasets (geospatial, tabular, imagery, streaming sensor data) into the AI-ready DBMS.
• Work with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) for compute and data management.

Application & API Development

• Build APIs and microservices to integrate ML models with WOTR’s existing platforms
• Contribute to web/mobile application modules that rely on AI-generated insights.

Collaboration & Cross-functional Support

• Collaborate closely with researchers, geoinformatics analysts, agronomists, and field teams to translate real-world needs into technical solutions.
• Support pilot testing, iterative refinement, and deployment of AI-enabled features in field settings—similar to collaboration expectations from the Jr. Software Developer role.

Required Qualifications & Skills:

• Programming:Strong foundation in Python (must-have); working knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript is a plus.
• AI/ML Frameworks:TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, XGBoost, OpenCV.
• Data Engineering:SQL/NoSQL databases (PostgreSQL/PostGIS preferred), ETL workflows, cloud storage.
• DevOps/MLOps:Docker, Git/GitHub, CI/CD pipelines, model serving frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, TorchServe, ONNX, MLflow).
• Visualization:Experience with dashboards
• Nice-to-have:Experience deploying ML models in production environments or mobile/web applications.
• Geospatial & Remote Sensing:Experience with Google Earth Engine, GDAL, Sentinel/Landsat data processing is desirable.
