- Work with Business Analysts, Product Managers and Project Managers to understand user needs and translate them into effective technical solutions.

- Support reliable data flows across operational systems and the data platform.

- Work with the Data Engineering team to ensure quality data flows from systems such as KoboToolbox through operational databases and into reporting and analytics platforms.

- Identify opportunities to improve systems, processes and engineering practices.

- Provide other technical support as required.
