AI Solutions Architect

Code for Africa (CfA) uses technology and #OpenData to empower citizens. We give citizens actionable information for better-informed decision making and digital tools to amplify their voices, so that they can hold the authorities (both governmental and corporate) to account. Position Summary

You’ll design, ship and maintain AI-enabled tools and workflows for teams across the alliance, and set the patterns others build on. This is a hands-on role: you’ll write and review code, configure integrations, test with users and support what you ship, not just produce designs or recommendations.

Your first priority will initially be Business Development (proposal and partner-intelligence workflows). From there, the work expands to research, editorial, investigative and programme operations. You’ll build on tools teams already use (Google Workspace, Slack, Airtable, CRMs) and on in-house capacity: DataLab for data engineering and scraping, the iLAB for AI-driven forensics, CivicSignal for NLP, and the wider AI Sandbox team for shared model access and infrastructure. You won’t be building the whole stack alone.
