Tech Consultant – Digital Platform Architecture & MVP Development

Scope Impact is seeking a Tech Consultant - Digital Platform Architecture & MVP Development

Location: Remote

Scope Impact is developing CHART (Climate x Health Adaptation and Resilience Tool), a digital platform designed to support evidence-based decision-making for climate adaptation to improve health outcomes. CHART integrates climate and health data, vulnerability assessments, and solution pathways into a lightweight, scalable “data-to-action” tool, co-designed with partners in Kenya and India using human-centered design and agile methodologies.

The current phase of work focuses on delivering a minimum viable product (MVP) while laying a strong technical foundation for interoperability, local adaptation, and future AI-enabled capabilities. Scope is engaging a Tech Consultant to support solution architecture, integrations, and agile MVP development, working closely with a multi-disciplinary team and external technical partners.

CHART is being developed as a Digital Public Good, with the intention of open-sourcing core components. The Tech Consultant will help establish technical foundations and governance practices that support community contribution and long-term sustainability beyond Scope’s direct involvement.

• Define the overall CHART technical architecture, clearly distinguishing between: core platform functionalities, modular components (e.g. country specific APIs, integrations) and hackable or extensible elements that enable local customization and innovation.
• Ensure the architecture supports scalability, interoperability, and future AI-driven capabilities.
• Document architectural decisions and trade-offs to support knowledge transfer and long-term maintenance.

• In collaboration with local partners in Kenya and India, map existing health, climate, and related information systems.
• Define interoperability requirements, standards, and data flows to enable seamless integration with CHART.
• Support the design and implementation of APIs and integration workflows that align with country contexts while maintaining a common core platform.
• Support the delivery of a lightweight MVP through iterative sprints, in close collaboration with product, design, and analytics teams.
• Contribute to the development of a “data-to-action” platform that integrates: climate and health analytics, vulnerability assessments, a solution or intervention database, and decision-support outputs and recommendations.
• Ensure rapid testing, iteration, and refinement based on user and stakeholder feedback.
• Advise on future CHART technology needs, and provide recommendations that balance ambition with feasibility for MVP development.

• Proven experience in digital platform architecture and MVP development, preferably in data-intensive or decision-support systems
• Strong understanding of APIs, interoperability standards, and modular system design
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear guidance for non-technical stakeholders
• Experience working in agile, iterative development environments
• Experience working remotely with multi-disciplinary teams and external technical partners, using collaboration tools such as Miro and Figma
• Experience or interest in working with generative AI tools or agents
• Experience in health, climate, or environmental data systems
• Exposure to AI / machine learning–enabled analytics
• Experience working in or with low- and middle-income country contexts
• Knowledge of open-source tools and data standards
