À propos
The Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering and the Center for Bioengineering Innovation and Design seek an motivated Assistant Research Engineer to support the VectorCam platform, an AI-enabled vector surveillance system funded by the Gates Foundation. Following a successful randomized controlled trial, VectorCam is scaling across multiple countries in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. The engineer will design new features, customize workflows for country programs, and implement feature flags to support rapid, reliable multi-country deployments. The role operates in a fast-paced Agile environment, collaborating with the Software Lead, global research partners, and the Johns Hopkins University team. While the primary focus is the web application, there are opportunities to contribute to mobile development, backend services, and cloud infrastructure for candidates with relevant interest or experience. The successful candidate will take ownership of technical decisions and help scale VectorCam across additional countries as national programs adopt the tool. Location: Johns Hopkins University environment with multi-country deployments including Uganda, Kenya, Ghana, Colombia, and others as programs expand. Responsibilities
